Here we are again

It has been a year, my friends, (if any of you are still checking in on this blog) since I posted here. I'm afraid events grabbed me by the...something and rattled my brains, my emotions, my energy, my orientation into another dimension where there was no blogging.

I check in every single day on this blog, and have done all year. The faces of the people in the last post wearing my pussyhats smile on me every day as I use the bloglist sidebar to see what new posts are available on the blogs I follow. Fortunately, most of these have not been affected by the same paralysis. The Yarn Harlot has blogged through the sudden loss of her mother and its aftermath.  Kate Davies has created a new yarn line that she is about to launch to the world. Mason Dixon has created new knitting challenges; Gale Zucker has kept on taking great photos; Dottie at the Net Loft is working on another knitfest in Cordova AK---you can check it all out on that list on the right-hand side just as easily as I can do it for you here. Easier, in fact.

I have had blog paralysis, but not knitting paralysis. Indeed, as admonished by Saint Elizabeth Zimmerman I have "knit on with confidence and hope through all crises." The Resist mitts, 3 Wild Cowls, the Cockatoo Scarf, the Red Larus sweater, a Wonder Woman shawl, and incredibly crazy Monkey Blanket, and a whole lot more that you can dig up for yourself, if you're interested, on my Ravelry page.

And now here we are a year later, a year that has been as awful as we feared, and yet a year that has shaken a resistance into action and will mark the anniversary with a main march in Nevada and sister marches all over the nation and world. Yes, even one in Anchorage, Alaska.
