Spinning a yarn…

While I’ve been editing my site for the past hour or better, I’m anxious to get started and thought I’d get a post up. So, please excuse the mess - I’m still under construction around here

Welcome!! I’m no stranger to blogging (or writing) by any means, but I am new to today.com and wanted to make sure to introduce myself as perhaps hosting my thoughts here will be providing myself with new readers! My name is Lesley, and I’m a twenty-something mother and wife. I’m married to my high school sweetheart - a wonderful man I will refer to as M. We have a beautiful, three year old daughter that I will refer to as “the munchkin”. My best friend is KatieKat. She lives far enough away from me that I feel safe enough about using her full name (which is great in terms of blogging but sucks in real life - I miss her!).  I’m sure she’ll be making appearances in my posts.

Now that I’ve introduced you to the cast of my life…let’s talk about interests. While I have many of them, knitting is highest on my list. Writing and reading tie for second. I’m always listening to music, and I love to sewing when I’m not knitting (which lately, unfortunately for the sewing, is never). Other things I like to dabble in: astrology, aromatherapy, gardening, interior decorating, graphic design. I adore creating! So, yes. This is mostly a knitting blog. Mostly. But there’s a good chance that I’ll talk about other things on occasion too.

Things you should know:

* I’m opinionated. I say what’s on my mind and I love a good debate. (Please note that there is a huge difference between debating and flaming. Flaming is not tolerated, tyvm.)
* I hoard yarn. You’re going to see a lot of it posted here.
* I’m desperately trying to learn what it means to be conservative and save money. It’s a hard thing to do for spoiled little me to do but M and I would love to build our dream house sooner rather than later.
* I am addicted to Ravelry. (Friend me! dreamerknits)
* I’m an Aries. Anyone who knows astrology knows what that means.
* November = NaNoWriMo for me.
* I’m a cat person.
* Mojitos are my drink of choice.
* I’m an Apple whore, as deemed by my husband. (MacBook Pro, iPhone, Time Capsule, etc, etc.)
* I’m online ALL the time.
* I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up.

For now, I will close. I’m hoping to find my camera tonight so that I can post some pictures as I talk about my WIPs.

Thanks again for visiting!
