Busy busy busy

There is so much I would like to blog about. Unfortunately, I just haven't found the time. When I am at my computer, I only have one hand free because of nursing the Cookie, and I require two hands for typing.

So, basic stuff that has been going on, in bullet points:

• I made this pattern out of bulky merino wool. It keeps the Cookie very warm. It's not the best spinning job I've ever done, but I wanted to make it quickly because the weather is getting cold. It still took me a month.
• I am currently knitting some socks. I spun and dyed the yarn myself. It is a gorgeous variegated peachy-coral colorway. They are a Christmas present so I won't say more. 
• Remember my beloved Styrofoam Unicorn? The Squeaker bit its nose off. I glued it back together with school glue, but it will never be quite the same. 
• I am re-reading the Harry Potter books while I nurse the Cookie, because otherwise I'd have to stare at the wall, and at 3 am, that is just no fun. I'm already on The Order of the Phoenix. It's kind of fun because even though I've read and re-read the books about fifty times, I still remember the first time I read them. It's a nice bit of nostalgia to remember the time I came home from Girl's Camp, seized Prisoner of Azkaban (which had just come in the mail from Britain because the American version wasn't out yet) and locked myself in my room for ten hours until I finished it. I didn't even take a bath first to wash off all the Girl's Camp grime. Ahhh, the memories.  I still remember how hard I laughed when I first read the word, "Wangobawime." (From Goblet of Fire)
• I think I will have to take a general break from blogging just because it is impossible for me to keep up on anything any more. Perhaps after the holidays I will have more time?
