Happy New Year!

Apparently I am a bad blogger. I haven't been moved to write anything. Since my last blog much has happened in my life, although not much has happened with fiber!

We made it through the election (whoo hoo!). We made it through family Thanksgiving at my parents house. I went on a trip to Florida for just shy of 2 weeks (drove down there with my Baba to visit my uncle). We made it through family Christmas and quiet New Year.

Jimmy is still fighting kidney failure. He's had some great days, some ok days and some unbelievably awful days. At the moment he's in the middle of a bad streak. He developed a secondary infection and is currently on the second antibiotic after the first had no effect. The vet is constantly amazed by his will to live - I have my fingers crossed that it continues, but I live in fear that every day is the last day.

All that has happened in a fiber way is that I cast on the Au Naturel Cardie (#24) from Knit'n Style June 2008. I am using Southwest Trading Company's Bamboo (color: Special). I am liking the pattern but am not all that crazy with the yarn at this point. Perhaps when it is finished I'll like it more, but in knitting it I am finding that it snags way to easily and way to often, and it splits often. I am also unhappy with the fact that every skein used so far has had knots in it - how freaking annoying!!
