Mad, bad or awful?

It's been brought to my attention by a very dear friend that I have not been blogging much (or at all) recently, and she wanted to know if things were 'mad, bad or awful', which I think is a very fine phrase. And it's true. I've been exceedingly lax. I now have so much stuff to blog about that it's almost overwhelming and I don't know where to start, which is only making it worse. How about a quick summary?
  • I have very belated public thanks to give to both my Rowanette exchange pal and my Secret Pal (bad. Not the thanks, or the gifts. Just the belatedness.)
  • I've decided that I don't like Minnie, which was finished for WoolFest. I'm contemplating surgery (mad, or possibly awful).
  • I've finished spinning the second lot of my Day's End roving (good)
  • ...and started on some superwash merino which is very different on the hands... (mad)
  • I've ordered a new spinning wheel! (great!)
  • I'm going to Canada in a few days (mad)
  • I'm still not back at work, at all. I went in for a very brief visit last week, and some people hadn't even noticed I'd gone. (hmmm...)
  • I've knit a swatch for my Ginko Leaf Tunic, and it's too small. (bad)
  • I fell over spectacularly earlier this week, and did a real number on my right knee. In a few weeks, it will match my left. (awful)
  • J and I have bought a new car; he's traded in his Civic and we now have an estate that we could camp out in (mad!)
  • The new Rowan magazine is out! (a little of all three...)
Regular blogging will, I hope, recommence soon.

Good to see you back. What will you do with Minnie?? Is Scarlet still making hers? And will we see you in TO? Too many questions...

I am interested to see you say you don't like Minnie - I made one at the same time as you, mine took absolutely AGES cos I was doing lots of other stuff but also lost interest in it a bit. I am kind of disappointed, it is just ODD.
Any chance you could post a pic of yourself wearing it, I don't know if it is just mine, it was such a lot of work but it doesn't somehow work as a piece of clothing and also mine is too short although I knitted it the correct length.
love Sarah
