What kind of blog is this? I haven't posted for months.

I am still writing, pen on paper in the mornings and at other times. I got myself a desk from Target, which I love so much. I have a place for all my pens and inks and a box of writing topics. I like to keep it clear, just my space. It's nice and inviting when there's nothing in the way, no barrier to just sitting down and writing.

How about some knitting? I stopped putting up pictures of finished objects when I was doing so much Christmas knitting, but I finished that all in time and I've finished several things in the meantime. That means I can have a lot of posts about all these...

We can start with the socks I made for Walker for Christmas. I spent months working on these in secret, hiding them from him. It was really hard when we first moved to Portland and we were both at home all day. I finished them at the last minute, December 23. I locked myself in the bedroom to "wrap presents" and finished up the cuff and wove in the ends. These were loosely based off of a Knitting Vintage Socks pattern, the Oak Socks. These are the first toe-up socks I've made Walker. They seem to be a hit.

This picture is one I took after I finished them up, right before I wrapped them.

More knitting to come!
