Oh, Wow, I've Been Oh Soo Bad

I am knitting.....a bit. I am sewing, also. It has been a busy freakin' summer ('Like it hasn't been for the rest of us!', I hear from the Peanut Gallery). I am knitting (from Alla's prodding) the Japanese Feather Stole with 'hazel knits' artisan sock yarn color 223 (blues and grays). I am, also, knitting this fun button up scarf I saw at the Portland Sock Summit. I have been sooo bad by not seeing my chicks..especially the Queen herself....Pat. I need to just pick up my needles and go.....
