Life Away From Knitting

After finishing my beautiful sweater, I've been struggling to find more knitting inspiration. Maybe I knit the sweater too quickly and felt nothing could compare.

While taking a few weeks off from knitting, and therefore blogging, I found other things to do (shocking, I know). The highlight was when my grandma came to visit and take me to the opera. Don Giovanni was amazing and I only wish that I could convince hubbie to take me to future fancy cultural events.
I did get him to take me to a play recently, but it was the worst play ever!

I finally picked up some stash yarn and started knitting after being inspired by Hip Knit Hats and their wrap cast on hat idea! I loved the top down hat and am looking forward to knitting more.
I've also begun knitting a random baby blanket for no one. When I'm done, I can add it to my other random baby stuff: raglan handknit sweater (from the fall, which still hasn't been sewn together completely), onesie, and burp clothes. It's a little feminine, so I'll need to wait for a little girl to be born (most of the rest of my baby stash is masculine, so at least I'm evening it out).
