On the BlogWagon

Yep, on the BlogWagon. I never thought myself the type to start a blog, but I stumbled across this signup and ended up with a blog before I really new what had overcome me.

I am AmyJ on Ravelry. If you haven't yet heard of Ravelry, you must be hiding in the dark ages. Get thyself over there and SIGN UP. You'll simultaneously thank me and curse me once you get in and see what all the fuss is about. Really.

I am early-30s, married to J, mama of two little girls - A who is 3 years old and is the perfect little angelic demon and E who is 4.5 months old and just rolled over for the first time last night and appears to have a tooth that will be making it's hideous presence soon known.

I am a cloth diapering, sewing, cloth diaper sewing, knitting, crocheting, breastfeeding, pumping, attachment parenting, semi-cosleeping, recycling, WOHM. How's that for enough labels? Have I painted myself into a corner now? I'm sure you have me all figured out by now.

Hi, my name is Amy, I'm a Gemini. My favorite flower is the Jacqueminot Rose. I enjoy long walks on the beach and romantic poetry read by the fire.

Enough about me, on with the knitting.

I have a million and one things on the needles - and am going to add one more thing... a Clapotis in a lace-weight. Conjoined Creations Pastimes in the Winds of Change colorway, to be specific. 100% soysilk yumminess. 800 yards of pure heaven. And it's not pink. Not even close. Not one iota. I picked up this yarn very recently at A Wool Gathering outside of Yellow Springs, Ohio. A friend and I and assorted small creatures drove down and spent the day rolling in the goodness that is yarn and fiber. Well, not really rolling, although I am completely convinced that they would have understood (being fiber junkies themselves), and actually envied our fearlessness, but probably thrown us out. The icing on the cake that was this day - CINNAMON ice cream at Young's Jersey Dairy.

To keep me on track with this project, I am joining the Second Wave Clapotis KAL. They have some hard work ahead of them keeping me on track and honest.
