I'm Back!

No, I didn't fall off the face of the earth! I, like most everyone else, have been very busy. Yes, there has been some knitting too! I will post pictures later this week. My sweetie and I went to Oregon to the Spirit Mountain Casino, not far from Lincoln City. It was actually for a workshop for my job, but we called it a faux honeymoon! We were there for 4 days - it seemed like forever!!! It's in the middle of nothing and I'm not big into the Casino scene. That was the first week of October. We did do a little shopping in Lincoln City, but the yarn store I wanted to visit was closed by the time we got there. Guess we will have to go again someday. Mr. Sweetie started a new job the week after we got back from Oregon, and I'm happy to say he loves his new job. I'm very happy for him, and for me - because when he is happy and busy, I am happy too! (now I just have to figure out what the heck he is talking about when he talks about work, and all this computer, IT stuff - some of it I just smile and nod and act like I understand, and keep on knitting.) They sent him to New Jersey for a week of training his second week on the job. And WOW... did I get to knit a lot!!! (Maybe they could send him somewhere again after the holiday's!!) Tis the season for dips! And I've had to divide my time between knitting and dip production. I've scaled back on the number of dips that I am making to sell this season. And I'm doing special requests for friends and family only. I haven't even looked at my Blue Zephyr Dip web site. Shame on me, but my heart isn't in it this year. I did spend all weekend getting organized for the Christmas Bazaar, and it helped to get me back in the swing of things... but I want to KNIT!!! Enough said! I'll post pictures of my new projects and give more details later.
