adam knits!

Man, these past few days have been quite a bit of craziness! I’ve been working, knitting, going to dog class, knitting, spending the weekend at Church, knitting, and so forth. Most of this weekend was spent at my family’s new church, Hoffmantown West, where my Dad has taken a job as the Administrative Pastor. This position was a real blessing for our family, and God’s timing with everything was perfect (can you expect less?). Everyone at Hoffmantown West is so wonderful and welcoming, and we were really blessed to be able to go to all the services and have a meet and greet this weekend. But boy am I tired now!

Besides that, I’ve finished a few knitted items, and will be posting a complete wrap-up of those shenigans soon. Basically I’ve finished the 1st dog collar, which I’ve decided to give to Liberty (one of my Mom’s 3 schnauzers), and made a 2nd one, for Emma, as a birthday gift for her first birthday this Wednesday. I also finished one out of two fuzzy feet for my little brother, as well as a little cozy for my iPod nano, complete with an instarsia voltage follower. It sounds like a lot, but they’re all really small items, so I really haven’t knitted too much in the past few days.

On the previous note, I really can’t believe Emma is going to be one year old already! I know I might sound weird, but she is such a huge part of my life I can’t just ignore occasions such as this, because they’re major milestones for me. I remember last summer when my older schnauzer Grace died, I didn’t think I could ever have such a special bond with another dog, but then along came Emma. :) She is such a wonderful dog, and I’m so blessed to have her as a companion. So here’s to dog birthdays!

So I will hopefully be posting pictures soon (you know me, so add a day or two to that estimate), but for now I’m going to go to bed. I have class in Socorro tomorrow at 8am (bye Spring Break), and am planning to drive in early, but we’ll see if it snows anymore tonight, I might not be able to make it down the hill at 6:30. My heart is breaking as I think about that (dripping sarcasm). So have a good night, and if you’re in Abq, enjoy the snow while it lasts!
