Purple Passions

I am soo bad at this so blogging thing. It is suppose to relieve stress much like journaling but I am not very good at either. It seems like this past month wasn't even here. I have been busy at my internship, which I must I am truly enjoying. I think that it is just the area that kind of turns me off otherwise, if they can relocate my position to another place I would be a happier camper. Any hoot. I am receiving a package from Stitch DC hopefully soon, depending if Karida sent out yet. I am truly excited because the not only do the yarn stores suck around here you have to go an hour out of the way to get to any of them. I will have to let you know what I got when I get it in the mail because of course I have forgotten. Otherwise all is well in War and Peace (is that how the saying goes?) I am dedicating this blog to my mommy. Today 3 years ago my mother past away from complications with colon cancer. She is the reason why I started to knit. If any of you know, I am basically a self taught knitter, but I say she is the reason why I started because I learned on her needles. I knitted my first scarf next to her hospital bed on visits. She was more of a seamstress and did more crocheting. In fact the last thing she made was my afghan made of my school colors. So her needles I hold close to my heart, although I should be better about not leaving them on the floor sometimes. There is nothing special about just the person they belonged to.
