Here, sort of.

Sorry it's been so long. I've had a host of personal (and non-blog-appropriate) issues to deal with, along with some work and "hobby" deadlines that couldn't be missed. Not only have I not been blogging, I totally flaked out at the end of Secret Pal, and I feel terrible about that.

My Pal sent me a wonderful final package with a knitting magazine, point protectors, a hand-knit dishcloth (why have I been using sponges all these years? Dishcloths are awesome) and two skeins of Kureyon in a nice, neutral colorway. One of these days I will post a photo.

I also owe my spoilee an extremely belated package. It's coming. It is.

Although I won't talk about my personal issues here, these are the things I was working on. I want to thank V. for giving me enough support and encouragement to meet these deadlines.

The Glaistig Hat, for the Samhain issue of The AntiCraft (they published early! yay!). (Their original deadline was before all my crap started, but I originally used a variegated yarn, which did not photograph as well (see comparison below), and ended up reknitting in a solid.)





I've got a game entered in this year's Interactive Fiction Competition. Authors aren't allowed to discuss the games before voting is over, so that's all I'll say about that.

There has been virtually no knitting, but hey, I still owe tons of photos of stuff that's already been finished, so if I get the time and energy to post again I'll still have some knitting content to show.
