• Promises

  Some promises for you:

  1) I promise I am alive.  I survived the summer (loved almost every minute, actually) and have tons of photos (over 4,000 of them) and stories to share.  Hopefully they will come, slowly but surely.

  
  (I think this might by my favorite picture of the whole summer.  I’m really drawn to it.)

  2) I promise I did some knitting over the past three months.  Not a whole lot, but some.  And, I converted taught three of my coworkers.  They are all really awesome knitters already, and all of them completed more projects than I did this summer.  (Granted, they were mostly making dishcloths, but whatev.  They picked some pretty complicated patterns for “beginners”.)  Sometimes it makes me feel bad when I think about how quickly the people I’m teaching pick up new skills, especially compared to how long it took me to pick them up.  Then I remind myself that I was teaching myself from books/webpages, and that’s a lot harder.  It makes me feel slightly less knitting-impaired.

  3) I promise that I feel really wretched for not taking any pictures of my knitting in the wilderness.  I kept intending to, and then I got busy or distracted.  These silly Boy Scouts kept coming up and wanting to see the mine or do some blacksmithing or pan for gold — gosh!

  4) I promise that I am going to finish my CD report by the end of Labor Day.  I promise.  Really.  (Don’t let me forget this one!)

  5) I promise that I am going to get something productive done tonight.

  And on that note, adios amigos!  More to come later, I promise!
