KAL watching!

Sometime tomorrow (January 9th) I will be uploading the first "clue" for the Eggplant Parmigiana pattern. The pre-release price of this pattern is $1.99 CAD. The KAL itself will begin on Monday, January 21st; and the price of the pattern will then increase to $4.99.

I can't guarantee the exact time it will go live as I have a quilting class in town tomorrow morning and am not sure when I'll be back home. I may have time to set it up in the morning before I leave, but I don't want to make any promises. I will post here with the link once it's all set up.

Enjoying what you are doing

Ever since I left my "paycheque" job nearly two years ago, enjoying what I am doing has been my #1 priority. It doesn't just apply to my knitting. I do my best to enjoy everything that life has to offer me now.

One problem with this is how I get distracted by "ooh shiny!" moments!! I am trying harder to focus, and I think I've been showing improvement in that respect. Going over my Ravelry projects as one example, it appears on the surface that I haven't finished much at all. In actuality, it's simply lack of FO photos that have kept me from changing the status of my projects to completed. I actually have relatively few on the go right now... and that's just how I like it!

Last night after I cast off my wrap, I began work on my new cardigan. I had fun doing several gauge swatches, and of course had to get started on it right away! I have no idea how long this particular "oh shiny!" moment will last, but I don't have any other large projects on the horizon for starting anyway. I'll post a couple pictures in the next couple of days once it actually looks like something other than a gauge swatch.
