Life has had me going/doing way to many/much places/things.

Not knitting just wasn’t an alternative at [...]

I’m enjoying my knitting, a lot.

I’ve finished the hat I made for my sister (I’m probably going to write up the pattern for it when I make the exact same thing for my demanding brother), gotten over the most trying part of making the mens socks (læster) which is the casting on of the first [...]
