I guess I would rather knit than blog about it, but still...YIKES!!

Greetings, dear readers. I am back. :-)

I have a LOT of catching up to do (= understatement of the year).

And I owe each and every one of you a sincere apology. There is no good excuse for letting the blog languish for as long as it has. I have been wrestling with a tough teaching schedule all semester, including bouts of fatigue and respiratory illness, but that's always true at this time of year. Welcome to life in academia. I guess the bottom line is that whenever I have managed to eek out any spare time lately, I have wanted to spend it knitting rather than maintaining a chronicle about knitting. I have managed to keep my project notes on Ravelry up to date, and to post pictures there and on Facebook as well. But no blog. I keep telling myself, "This weekend I will return. This weekend..." and then not quite getting around to it.

All of which ends today, with this post. I really really REALLY want to get back into the swing of things again. I have lots of exciting projects to talk about -- past, present, and future -- and the sooner I get caught up on the finished ones, the easier it will be to stay current with WIP's. So let's do this thing. Here and now.
