- Two brothers getting married and being involved in both- one as a bridesmaid, one as a source of free labor (and being so allergic to their venue I had severe nose bleeds for a week). I still need to think of a wedding present for the one I'm a bridesmaid in, it's on the 22nd. Thrummed mittens, maybe?
- Changing jobs and looking to change again. Let's just say my current one has me running around all day like a chicken with my head cut off.
- Commuting 3 1/2 hours a day. It actually hasn't been that bad. I invested in some noise cancelling headphones and usually use the time as my craft time (I ride a train then a bus).
- Having to put down one of our cats, Bill, due to severe pancreatitis, and adjusting to a new puppy, Cooper.
- Picking up two new hobbies- spinning and cross stitch. (If you ever want people to look at you weird, cross stitch on public transportation.)
- And releasing a new pattern: Calamistrata ($4).
It's been crazy but usually worth it. I'm hoping that after we get through the holidays things will calm down enough for me to spend more time knitting and working on patterns. One of my goals for next year will be to release patterns more consistently. Of course, my other goal is to buy a condo, so who knows.
I can't believe it is already November. Christmas is less than a month away, and I have no idea what I should make for anyone. It might end up being the year for store bought gifts...
