Every year, September just seems to hit me like a brick wall. After a nice, long, leisurely summer, it’s back to reality for most of us. School starts up again for the kids, and the various extracurricular activities kick into gear.
It’s nice once we’ve gotten back into our routines, but the actual getting there can be a bit rough. The rush to do all the things can be a bit overwhelming, but I’ve noticed that by now September is almost over, and things should (hopefully) slow down a little bit.
Project-wise, it’s been really busy.
The Mystic Ocean KAL finished, and I finally got to post a picture of my finished shawl.
I’ve also launched a new KAL that will actually start in October – Mystic Vortex. Sign-ups are open (here), and I’m busy prepping all the files for that.
And I have received a large shipment of yarn which I am busy turning into something quite exciting. I do have a deadline though, and that deadline is in just over a week. Luckily I do have some trusted sample knitters to help out, but it’s going to be one busy week. 
So if you don’t hear from me, I’ve probably drowned in my ocean of blue yarn.
Swirls of water, whirls in space
Knits and purls and dashing lace
Growing peaks, converging lines
Round and round so many times
Mystic Vortex, mesmerizing
Lace in circles, so enticing
Welcome one and welcome all
to mystic lace knit in the fall!
