Happy February!

I can't believe it's February already! It's been way too long since I posted here, and with good reason:

That's right, we're expecting another baby, so Jack is going to be a big brother this summer! The worst part this time (so far) is that I spent about 8 weeks of my first trimester/early second trimester not knitting, because it made me really nauseous (even the thought of yarn was making me nauseous for awhile). It's a good thing I didn't have any holiday gift knitting planned last year! I've been really happy to be able to do a little bit of knitting again in the past few weeks, and I've also been doing a little bit of sewing to satisfy my need to make something.

Anyway, so it's a little late to really do a 2014 wrap-up post, though I will finalize my 2014 Knitting Challenge page when I have a few minutes. In terms of knitting, 2014 was an incredibly productive year for me, and I actually finished a bunch of projects instead of just starting a ton and adding to the UFO pile. It turns out that deadlines are good for me in terms of getting knitting finished, and even just forcing myself to finish my current project before I could start a new one was really helpful. Plus, organizing all my stash early last year helped me realize how much awesome yarn I already have, and I've been trying to use what I have and reduce the inflow of new yarn I don't need.

I had thoughts of setting up a 2015 Knitting Challenge, but I think this year I will have enough other challenges that I don't need to add one more. I'm going to do a few events when I feel up to it (Iknitarod is coming up in March), so we'll play it by ear. And we should find out at the end of the month whether it's a girl or a boy, so depending on that I might have a whole bunch of baby knitting to do, too!

So happy 2015 everyone, and I promise to have some actual knitting content soon. (And go Patriots, for anyone watching the game this afternoon!)
