Ok it's update time...

Quick synopsis of my past year... I have been basically sick since last May/June and on some real good drugs (prescription of course) Blogging was very low on my list of priorities as sitting at the puter much of the time just was not the sensible activity for me. I have had 3 surgeries and many many tests since then, 5-6 months off work and feeling much better now though still in recovery mode. (No it wasn't cancer, just some stuff that needed taking care of)

Now back to last year....
After the knittig olympics, I knit a pair of socks for my husby. Used the same pattern and yarn as my Olympic Socks just a different colour. Here's the pic.

Heading out for a bit of a thread hunting trip with husby. Be back later to finish updating. (No Nic I am not lying. I will be back, and I know what you are thinking)

WOW It's now almost April...

and how time flys. I have been a very very bad blogger. Ok I have been a nonexistant blogger. I will do a very quicky update, been a busy almost year, I have had many health concerns (no nothing really serious) that have kept me down from doing my normal activities, and just life in general tends to get in the way of many of my plans. I have completed mostly socks over the last winter. Honestly best description is "ADDICTION" LOL. My name is Lyz and I am addicted to sock knitting. I am also 'Smitten' for Mittens' too. I will take pictures soon of my FO's (mostly socks for my husby) and get them posted. In the mean time I am off to knit socks and finish up a pair in the Little Shells Pattern which is a free online pattern to which I don't have a link handy but will try to get up on the blog. These socks are turning out very very pretty IMO and are going to be a special gift for a special Doctor that has taken awesome care of me this winter.
'Till next time.... happy KNITTING (and crocheting)

Yes I am still alive

though i thought a week ago that might be doubtful! I have just come through (and lived to tell about it) a six day gall bladder attack that put me into emerg at the hospital three times :(( Ya crying real tears! Though the resulting presciptions of almost every kind of good narcotic pain killer going was enough to ease up the pain somewhat, I am still somewhat disappointed that I didn't actually get to *enjoy* any of the good drugs! ROFL! So since I been sick :P I have had no urges or energy to pick up needles, hooks, or loom to work with fibre. I know it will come back to me when I am ready but it still feels weird to not *live* to create yarn items! On the other hand I have finally come back to reading! YAAAY! I haven't been much of a reader the last couple years as the yarn was my life blood, but I have got myself on a reading kick again and it feels great. I am off for my sleep now though, before i get the urge to try to eat something I shouldn't. One good thing is that at least i have finally broken the weighloss barrier and have shed a few lbs! (not eating for almost two weeks will do that though... doncha think?
