An unplanned hiatus, an apology, and a Turtle Trot

I did not mean to fall off the face of the earth. I'm so sorry. I was super busy working in July and then went on vacation to the US for a week at the beginning of August. By the time I got back it was almost the beginning of the school year and I had crazy amounts of prep work to do for my classes.

I haven't touched a needle since the end of July. No cross stitch and no quilting has been done. I'm usually too tired by the end of the day to concentrate on such things. On top of that, I must admit that I am painfully addicted to knitting at the moment. On the rare occasion I have both down time and energy, I have been knitting up a storm.

I do have a progress pic that should have been up ages ago, but I just never made it to the blog on time. Near the end of July I made some great progress on Ciara Blue, and so I am posting those (late) pics now for the September Turtle Trot (hosted by BAP Attack).

I will update on the knitting front next time (and I promise that won't be 6 six weeks from now).
