Hello, and Something to Show

Well, hello. It's been quite a while since I've posted here. I'm not sure where the time went, but I guess I just needed a break. I haven't meant to completely desert things here, so I'm going to try to get back in the habit.

The past few months have been very busy. I finished up my 15-month long mini-MBA program at work (now I just need that promotion!), cheered on my husband in one 5K and two 10K races, started running myself (and stuck to my other healthy resolutions, too), traveled to Yosemite, smashed the competition in Connect 4 (that would be Joel), and much, much more that I cannot remember right now.

I actually haven't been doing a ton of knitting--I've been feeling a little uninspired lately. I'm not sure what it is, but maybe I just need to get back into the swing of things. However, I do have one FO to show you...


It's the Reclamation Scarf from Stephanie Japel. Sadly, I seem to have lost the information on the yarn, but I will try to find it. I do know that it's 100% bamboo and was hand-dyed, somewhere local I believe. I bought it on our NorCal vacation last November. Here is a closer look at the color...


This pattern was very enjoyable and super easy to knit. It only took me a week, too, which was nice considering how large it turned out...


The pictures are from April--proof that I did have intentions of blogging! I have a slightly different haircut now, which I'll have to post a picture of.

I have lots more to say, but I need to save it for another post. I'll be back soon with more knitting and maybe even some pics from my new hobby... jewelry-making!
