Neglecting the blog

I have really been negligent both in posting and in reading blogs. I have come to dread the idea of opening Google Reader because the many number of unread blog posts of those I enjoy will throw me into a tail spin. Instead, I remain blissfully ignorant, power up my new iPad, and play Words with Friends.

The holidays were nice. My parents flew in on Christmas Eve and it was the best holiday I can remember. The weather was a little cool for a couple of days, but snow did not appear and it warmed back up as the news made reports of snowy weather across much of our nation.

I've stayed warm by finishing a sweater knit from Punta Merino Solid which I am totally in love with and by reading. Ideas of blog abandonment have crossed my mind. The thought right now is to maybe just let it lie and see what happens. Tennis is beginning again and that takes loads of time. We shall see.

Remember the Punta Mericash that I encouraged you to hunt down and buy, buy, buy?

I recommend it even more highly now. The drape and softness is definitely at the top of my list.

Two skeins were plenty and it feels luxurious when wrapped around my neck.

It knit up quickly on US 5 needles

I am devising a plan to get more in a blue-ish colorway.

It was a pleasant diversion, but time is awastin' and I really need to focus on the Christening gown.
