post-holiday slump

I think January is somewhat of a letdown. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's depressing me, but it certainly is gloomy. The sparkle and shine of the holidays has been packed away in boxes, we're all feeling the too-tight pants after-effects of all the yummy food we ate, and Kyle is gone. Not only gone, but in Cuba, so totally unreachable at the moment. I haven't talked to him since New Year's Eve, when he periodically called on his drive back home to let me know where he was and that he wasn't snowed into a ditch in New York somewhere. It's the longest we've ever gone without talking, and my oh my, is it ever weird.

On the plus side, I finished a sock. And I started the sweater I've been drooling over for a while.

I got tons of knitting/spinning/dyeing related things for Christmas, which I swear I will post about soon.

Oh, and the boy socks were well received, as I feared. He actually said to me, "If I buy you the yarn, will you knit me more?" I suppose that is probably the best compliment I could receive. :D
