I fell off the wagon

But I have a really, really good reason for it!  That reason is that it's hard to write blog posts when the morning sickness has you half convinced you're about to die.  Why yes, morning sickness.  We're having a baby in August!  I am however feeling much better now, so with any luck at all I will be able to, you know, post on my blog occasionally.

November is for getting stuff done.

You'be probably heard of all the Na(something something)Mo things.  Knit a sweater, write a blog, write a novel, the whole point is to get stuff done in November.  Lots and lots of stuff.  Personally, I'm going to take a  cue from both NaKniSweMo and NaBloPoMo and work on a sweater design and talk to y'all about it here on my blog.  With any luck at all I will also get my camera and my computer back on speaking terms, and thus be able to show you lots of pictures of work-in-progress sweater.  Although it is a crochet sweater.  Cut me some slack, I'm designing the darn thing, if I had to knit it too I would never get it done this month.  Crochet = much faster.  I hope.  Did I mention it's in fingering weight?

I'm liking it so far anyway, even though it is still just yarn.

Construction again, pardon my dust.

You may have noticed, but between bursts of frantic knitting I'm trying to give the blog a bit of a face lift.  The old way was cute, but it was just a template, and I'd like my blog to have a bit of a more unique look to it.  Hopefully, I will stop moving things about in the next couple of days.

Welcome!

Welcome to Maru Designs, the official blog for the knit and crochet designs of Kim Driggs. Please note that we are still HIGHLY under construction, so please pardon our dust. There should be pattern announcements in the near future though.
