As some of you may (or may not) have noticed, I haven't posted here in about a month and a half. Why is that? Well, I've switched which gmail I use more often. That has really created an out of sight, out of mind problem with this blog. I'm trying to find a way to allow me to post under my new e-mail address so that I can continue to keep people updated, and just to organize my thoughts. If I can't find a way to merge the two to better work on the blog, I might have to start a new one, transfer over the posts, and delete this blog. It's sad, but might be necessary.
In a while, I will also be setting up a website for myself and my husband. This could turn into a new blog for me as well. I don't quite know what the future holds for this blog, but I hope that I can remember to keep my readers informed on what has happened already and what will happen once I find the answers I'm looking for.

FO Friday: Lots And Lots of Shawls!
What is it about blogging that makes me feel bad for not posting? I wish I knew. Anyway, I've been super busy and productive and I can't wait to show you what I've done! This post is going to be kept relatively short because company is coming over and I need to clean, but I thought you guys deserved an update.
First off is my Sharktooth. You might remember it from this post, but you might also remember that I started out with a different color. The Ella Rae wasn't quite working for what I needed, so I changed to one of my Christmas presents. The Cherry Tree Hill yarn in color Slate. I love how this turned out.
I learned a valuable lesson with this project. Counting and paying attention are very important. This shawl should technically have about 200 yards less yarn that it does, but I accidentally added 6 more pattern repeats, thus making this thing huge. But, I love it and I'm so happy it's done.
Next up is something I've already finished and showed off, but I finally got around to blocking the darn thing!
Here's my 3rd Herbivore! This was a fun and quick knit, and it's one of my favorites.
Finally is something I made for my DH with the yarn he got me for Christmas! Here's my Forest Gyllis! It's an amazing lace scarf made out of a worsted weight 100% wool yarn. The pictures don't show off the subtle yellow and green heather the yarn has, but I'll try to get better pictures later.
That's it for now, I'll do my best to post what I'm working on this Wednesday!
