Been a few months, hasn't it? I'd love to say that I've been doing a ton of knitting and sewing, but well, I just haven't. Those who are on my LJ friendslist know why... I've been working on a rather important and time-consuming WIP that I anticipate having done in early September. (The 6th, to be precise.)
In the last few months, I've been making my way back to sewing, though, and more recently to knitting. I've made a few sets of footed pajamas for Little R using this pattern and some boxers for Mr. Wee and Mr. G using this one (well, for Mr. G I used the adult pattern, but it's the same as the kids' pattern save for the sizing.) I'm making a pair of socks for Mr. G to replace the last pair, which he wore straight through, and a sweater for the baby (ok, to be fair, I haven't actually started the baby's sweater, but I have the pattern, the yarn, and the needles, so I have done everything but start!)
I've also joined Ravelry in the last couple of days and am mrsg there just as I am here. I'm about the least interesting knit/craft blogger out there and I don't have nearly half the output of most people on there, but it seems like a fun toy at the very least. And that's about it here (though I think it's probably enough...)
[this is good] Congrats! Welcome to Ravelry (I did add you over there). I think it's a perfect excuse for no knitting/sewing/crafting ;)

Thanks! Yeah, I've been so dang tired that when I sit down with the best intentions to knit, I end out dozing off instead, heh. Been doing better lately, though, so I've been doing a little here and a little there, and now the feeling of "OMG I don't have much longer until I get no time to craft!" has hit and I'm biting off more than I can chew. Feast or famine, I guess. :)
How did I not realize you live in Pottstown, btw? I live in South Coventry, just a hop skip and a jump south of you. :)

Oh wow I never realized you were that close either - I just knew you were in PA. Amazing.

Small world and all of that. Our mailing address is actually Pottstown. :)
So where do you shop for yarn? I've been going to Olde Peddler Wools in Morgantown since Unraveled Yarn in Douglassville closed (*sob!* I adored that store) but it's a little too far away to be convenient. Also, Olde Peddler doesn't carry some of the things Unraveled did that I liked -- some of the "name brand" yarns (Colinette, Rowan, etc.) that I liked being able to ogle in person, sari silk, extensive Noro selection, etc. Haven't been in love with the amount of non-natural-fiber novelty stuff The Knitting Studio in Phoenixville carries (nor their irregular hours, last time I went,) either. I would say we need a really good LYS around here, but maybe there is one and I just don't know about it...?
