Wow, it's been a long time since I've really spent time on here. Life happens. But don't worry; it's been good.

Actually, I met a nice guy, mostly due to knitting! That was back around Maryland Sheep and Wool. This weekend just past, we got to attend Rhinebeck together, and had a lovely time- kinda like a fiber-festival anniversary. We even reenacted our meeting in the Sanguine Gryphon yarn booth, haha! The fiber folk there were so wonderful and supportive of us as a couple, and I am very grateful for that.

I just finished a vest in time to wear at the festival, and figure it's one you guys might want to see, if you haven't already.

You did a great job on that

You did a great job on that vest! I'm still envious, and I'm moving that up in my project queue.

I hope you enjoyed Saratoga. Its gorgeous any time of year but I think more so in the fall.
