Taking a short break

Wanted to post and let everyone know that I am needing to take a break from posting for a couple weeks. I’m not going way for good. Just need to restructure my time during the day and get things figured out. With being in school full time getting my bachlor’s degree, taking care of Penelope, and summer coming up fast I am quickly getting buried.

Needless to say, my knitting has taken a back seat to all this going on at home. I try to knit every day, there just isn’t the progress that I’d like. I know I didn’t record last week, it completely slipped my mind. This week isn’t going to work as I have finals next week and need to get caught up with school stuff.

I will keep everyone updated on what’s going on to the best of my ability.

Thanks so much,
Megan
