not just knitting

a few weeks ago i happened across a site that had some great anti-bush bumper stickers (i actually think it was a link from one of the knitters against bush sites). i'm generally not a follower of politics. however the last few years have really opened my eyes to the pervasive role the government plays in our lives. this year in particular i feel like i need to do my part and vote. i called this morning to make sure i was registered and signed up for absentee voting. as one of my favorite women would probably say "voting - it's a good thing" :)

politics aside, i have made some more progress on the blanket. at first i thought it was going to go fast, then i realized it wasn't. now i think it is going faster than how slow i thought it was going to go. does that make any sense?? anyways, here is a picture of the progress


i will probably start focusing on winter items from here out. I have a few poncho ideas in mind as well as legwarmers etc. hopefully i can find patterns - i'm not quite talented enough to do my own yet!
