Many Months Between Posts

Since last I posted I started a new job and got laid off from it---best to close that chapter of the book---and I've had elbow surgery to repair tennis elbow. That's healing well, though I get frustrated that I can't knit or type as much as I want. And I'm job hunting. It is very depressing to not have a job and to never hear back after you send out cover letters and resumes. Very depressing. Luckily, I have a great circle of friends who keep my spirits up.

I traveled to Gloucester Point, Virginia to attend the Battle of the Hook on October 18 and 19 and that was a blast! I also went to Fort Ligonier in August and baked, baked, baked. My last baking weekend until sometime next Spring or Summer when the elbow is all healed. I love my reenacting weekends. They totally revive me.

And I am still managing to knit. Made the mitered felted bag in Interweave Knits (picture when I find my camera and felt the bag), I'm still working on my February Lady's Sweater and on my Shetland Shawl. But new projects are on the needles, including a very pretty, very quick shawl that's almost done...found the pattern on Ravelry...socks, mitts, the sweetest little bird's nest pincushion from the "Closely Knit" book...the list does go on. How would I live if I couldn't knit?
