Sorry it's been so long...

Gosh I can't believe I haven't blogged in so long. I’ve been sooo busy and haven’t had the time or energy to sit down and write a blog. I haven’t left or anything, just been extremely busy with work (teacher), and working on my second Masters. I have however continued to knit. I just bought myself a new camera (birthday presents to myself) so pictures will be coming soon. I the mean time here are some reasons why I knit.
