I removed myself from the knitting blogs webring this morning because there just wasn't really any interesting knitting going on over here, and I kept feeling guilty that I wasn't taking pictures, and wasn't posting anything. And I have quite enough guilt from every other aspect of my life, I don't need to start feeling guilty about not providing fresh knitting content as well as feeling guilty about not doing the knitting itself (and not getting my work done, and not calling my mother, etc.).
In knitting news, what there is of it, I got a ball of Opal's new Lollipop sock yarn, and have been physically restraining myself from starting a pair of socks with it. I've actually put it into my knitting bag twice, only to remove it and tell myself that I can only start a new pair of socks once I've finished the current pair, and also that I need to finish up some of the Christmas gift scarves, some started and some not, and the most immediate, pressing issue is a birthday gift that will need to be sent out next week. Yikes.
I've struggled with whether to leave this blog as a standalone or somehow roll it into the journal; I don't really ever knit anything spectacular or really exciting, so I don't know if I can justify a whole website about it, but on the other hand, the people who are interested in knitting probably comprise a fairly small group.
Ah well. It will all work out somehow, I suppose. I'll worry about it another day.
