Picking Up Where I Left Off

As some of you have noticed, my presence around the blogosphere has been a little scarce.  I could give you a million and a half excuses, but what my absence boils down to is this: pure laziness.  Summer has come in at full force here in Michigan and we have been enjoying time outside.  Knitting time has decreased, and internet time in general has almost completely diminished.  I have to admit, it is quite a freeing feeling to click the "mark all as read" button on Google Reader (especially when the true unread number reads over 1,000).

All last week I planned on writing a post.  Everyday my mind's commentary was actually a blog post, putting together words so plesant that my readers would surely forgive my truency- but instead I will give you this- an FO.


Yes, Elise's Cascade has finally received buttons.  The decision was tough- and you guys made it even more difficult!  Although I was surprised at how much I loved the crazy yellow buttons, I decided on the more classic brown.  The sweater is big on Elise now and is meant for fall.  If it was a spring cardi, I would have been a little more apt to choose the bright yellow. I may just have to come up with a little headband for the yellow buttons- the combo is (surprisingly) too perfect.


As far as any other knitting goes, it really has been as scarce as my blogging frequency. This is the first time I've hit the knitting wall in some time.  I need advice... how do I get through this knitting funk?!
