ok, i am not by nature a patient person… this is hard. really. hard.

i am waiting to hear if i was selected for this – Meg Swansen's Knitting Camp.

for years, i thought of going and would get the postcard (you know the one that was sent in like january) and pin it up in a very visible place – like on my computer at work – and then each year i wouldnt send the application in .

why?

probaby cause i was scared of not being good enough = probably .

but this year, this year – i said i would do it .  i promised myself that i would send it in – this is the year that i made big changes – remember – i moved to this little village, left park slope and my little tiny apartment to a small railroad apt (well, at least there are more than two rooms).  and had my ear surgery.  and well, if i was that brave – surely i could be a little bit more brave to compete the application.

and I DID! 

Even handed it to my friendly postman  – who is so nice especially since i get lots of packages (you know, ebay and all) and magazines (well, what can i say i love magazines ) – on April 6th.  and told him how precious that letter was!

and 
now
i
wait

the website and application say we should hear by may 1… thats MONDAY.

nothing in the mail yet….

hope springs eternal.

Knitting:
completed another square for Warming Grace and half way thru another one .  these are addicting!  i have two humongous projects – a shawl and shrug – that seem to not want to end  and had forgotten what it was like to do little projects.    they are reviving my knitting spirit greatly.

and i get so anxious when thinking of knitting a sweater for me – even though i am going to plunge in this weekend – i have to get over this insane fear of it not fitting – i know how to measure etc. and i have some really gorgeous yarn to use.
