I hate starting out posts with, "sorry I haven't blogged in a while." Over a month to be exact. But I haven't been making time for it lately. I would like to think in the age of rss feeds that people are no longer clicking on your blog daily wondering where the heck you are. Instead I would like to think of myself as more of a pleasant surprise that pops up on their reader from time to time. But I will admit I have received more that a few where are you, are you ok emails.  I enjoy this space, stay with me.

So, sorry, I will try to be around more? Forgive me? Sure you do.

So socks, my constant companion. These socks took me a long while. Looks like I started them back in September or October. These sat around in the back burner, while I was working on other things. They traveled around in my purse for months. It isn't surprising that a project on 2mm needles takes a few months when you only knit on them at lunch.

Specs

Yarn: Yarn Pirate in Rosie

Time: oh my, started in September- March 07

Needles: started with 2mm inox circ, but the joins made me crazy, so I switched to a 24 inch 2mm addi. A little shorter than I normally use, but I liked it.

Pattern: cast on some stitches, toe up, knit, short row heel, knit some more, bind off. exact numbers I can't recall.

So at this point what else can I say about socks. I think that I have said all I can.  So instead help me out. I want to become a better baker. I love cupcakes but my last 3 attempts have failed. I have tried the magnolia cupcakes, the vanilla vegan ones form the vegan cupcake book, and the Amy Sedaris ones. All  had some issues. I am ready to go back to box baking. So give me you baking tips and favorite cupcake recipes.

Oh, and I recently got a small camera to carry around in my purse. To capture those random things I see each day. So if you like you can follow along on flickr.

See you sooner rather than later, I hope!
