I haven't been posting, in part because the current project is something I'm not allowed to talk about. And pretty soon, I'll have more projects I can't talk about. This is personally very exciting stuff but makes for very dull copy on this blog. I'm knitting _____ onna deadline out of _______'s homespun. Do you know how hard it is to knit, when with every stitch your brain is screaming "OMG! You're knitting with ____ F*cking ____'s homespun! Look, this is navajo plied! Better make that stitch a little tighter so the "join" isn't on the center of the stitch.... but it's _____'s homespun! And this one is two ply, and that one is three ply, and omg I get to work with _____'s homespun!" It's a huge fangirl moment, that I really can't share. There's also the OMG She Knows I'm Alive, and the whole She called my house and knows where I live moments, but that's never as impressive as actually handling the homespun, yanno? Even more fun - I may get to do it again some time! So if you hear muffled excited screaming, it's probably me over here in my mind.

I've also been knitting toes for my dyer friend - if I knit so many toes, I get a free skein of yarn. She will also happily substitute fiber or different weights of yarn. So things are looking very, very good for my new year's resolution of a fiber diet until we aren't in debt.
