Hello Blog

….it’s been awhile but I haven’t had much to say.   Studying guitar has certainly cut a big chunk of my knitting time away along with the shop.  I have been working on my Clapotis since before Christmas and under normal circumstances it should have been done at least a month ago.  But at least I’m being a good girl – I’m being faithful to it and not jumping around to other projects.  I’m hoping to finish it before it starts getting too warm to wear it.  The unseasonably warm temperatures we are having right now are making me realize that I need to make a better effort to stick to my knitting.  I’m also crossing my fingers hoping that I don’t run out of yarn because I bought this yarn over a year ago.  It’s Mountain Colors and I think the colorway is Wild Raspberry.

Sometimes I think it would be nice to be like Mrs. Weasley and have the knitting knit itself!   But I am making great progress with my guitar and theory.  I had some music theory in the past, but it wasn’t  too in depth.  It really can be mind boggling.  So much so that I haven’t opened up my theory book in a few days.  But it keeps staring at me so I’m going to have to jump back in.  And I’ll tell you again  that guitar lust is just as bad as spinning wheel lust.  You get a new guitar and within a couple of weeks you’re looking at guitars again.  I think it is a vicious circle!
