What?

I can't believe that I haven't posted here since July!

Has it really been that long?

Well, I guess it has something to do with me misplacing my knitting mojo.

Again.

I think it must have something to do with having kids. My opportunities (and desire) to knit were seriously curbed when Riley became a toddler. He was toddling all over the place, getting into everything & I needed to be alert & ready to move at any second. I had to have both hands free so I could lunge across the room & rescue Riley/the dog/the furniture/etc. from those little fingers.

Now he's two, and I still need to be alert & ready to spring into action at any given moment. I still need both hands free to rescue Riley or the dog(s), but now I also need them to soothe tantrums, bring the independent determination down to a safer level and empty the little potty.

Thus, my knitting is often limited to knit night. Since I am a slow knitter & knit night consists of only three or so hours, that equals very little progress to share.

I had gotten out of the habit of posting progress pictures because I thought they were maybe a little boring. (You know, serving as a non-narcotic sleep aid.)

But given the fact that progress is all I seem to have lately, perhaps I should reconsider. I miss my knit blog, and I miss keeping up with the blogs of other knitters.

Yes, I think I shall set a goal for bloggy goodness.

Henceforth, I will do my best to post some sort of knitting content to my Keowdie Knits at least once per week.

And I will hope I still have at least one or two readers left who might enjoy it!
