Since we last connected, I've hiked through enchanting Alaskan terrain covered in waterfalls and glaciers and lakes.
I've traveled to Peru for a volunteer medical mission, a life-changing experience if ever there was one....
Hiked the Sacred Valley Inca Trail and watched the sunrise over Macchu Piccu.
And now back home, reinvested in myself...have begun a rigorous training program towards a triathlon next summer.
I'm feeling great, feeling strong, and yes, I am still knitting. Knitbud Ruth and I are doing a mini-KAL...it's her first grown-ass woman sized sweater...yes, it's the ubiquitous February Lady Sweater....I know, I know, I started one of these a year ago...but it just wasn't a good marriage of pattern and yarn at the time...this one..much improved! I'm using Elann.com's luscious Highland Wool in Calypso Green (which is actually somewhat greener than it shows in the photos)
purchased during one of their amazing bag sales a year or more ago...and if you noticed the clever stitch markers between each 7 stitch lace repeat..why they are nothing more than cut up drinking straws (because who has eleventyjillion matching stitch markers?)...clever idea culled from the FLS forum on Ravelry.
So, I'm back...not sure how frequently I'll be posting, or what the content will end up being...but I've missed the blogging...until next time...
Knit On!

Sounds amazing! Glad you are back.
so good to see you posting again, you have been missed, what stories you have to tell
Wow, what a fabulous life you lead! Keep posting!
'Bout damned time you post. What are the triathalon deets?
I've been wondering where you are Missy!
What a fabulous time you have been having. The Peru trip sounds especially enriching, I'd love to hear about it in person one day in a long chat.
And i can't believe you have only just heard about the drinking straw stitch markers. I used them when I attempted to knit a clapotis, in whcih task I sadly failed but a friend took up for me and finished....now I just have to block it.
You're looking GREAT Lisa, nice to hear from you again.
((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))
Welcome back! Wow - what grand adventures you've had! I'm knitting the FLS too - just lovely.
SO glad you are blogging again and many thanks for the fab pix of Peru. How many babies did you deliver? Felicidades! A wonderful gift you shared with the Peruvian women! Your hiking sounds exhilarating! Great training!

You are one popular lady! Even though you say the color isn't accurate, I think it looks loverly!
a fellow Rav Knitter sent me over to check out your blog-O.M.G. am I glad she did!
Isn't Machu Pichu just magical.... I am in awe whenever I see pics.
You are so fortunate to have experienced that place!
