} , but don't know if knitting will be possible. Boo!
Fellow knitters, any advice, other than let it heal?
I swear I have the worst luck.

I've been a busy busy bee!
Good morning bloggerverse.
Oh boy, it has been a while. I'm sorry I've been neglecting you. I hope you've been well. I've been bananas busy! So much to tell you!

I sent the blanket from this post, Momma and baby both loved it! I'm so glad, it was such a labor of love. Let me tell you, there were times when I was over it, many times my husband asked "Aren't you finished with that thing yet?" "Nope, not even close."
Since the blanket, I've made and posted the first item to my Etsy Shop! It's a 100% organic farmers market bag. I really do like it! I also made myself one and take it to the market every Sunday. This puppy can hold a ton!
I used Debbie bliss eco yarn. I loved it! It was a joy to work with. Very smooth and soft, sometimes my needles would separate the strands but nothing major. I may have found my new favorite cotton to work with.
My bff's family loved the blanket I made so much they've asked me to make them some winter things! It's starting to get cold in Canada, so I'd better get working! I've got requests for 2 pairs of mittens, a toque (Yes it's called a toque, not a beanie. I don't care how long I've lived in the United States, a knit cap will always be a toque to me.), and a scarf. All stripped! I'm using alpaca for the first set. Red and Black stripes. I've never made stripped mittens before.
At the beginning of the month we took a trip out East for a wedding (which was AWESOME!), which meant 2 cross country flights (yuck!), I spent my flights watching guilty pleasure TV, eating cookies (Thank you Jetblue!) and making mittens. I only have the scarf left (thank goodness!) which is about a third of the way complete. The mittens and toque are blocking and hopefully will be dry soon. I hate taking up counter space with blocking mats.
I'm headed back to Canuck-ville in October, I should have mittens for all! Or at least a few.
I'm off to knit the knits and purl the purls.
