Break!

I am now on break. This means I will hopefully have more time to comment, post, and generally participate here. I'm also interested in doing critiques for people--if you want one, let me know!

For poetry, I'm really hoping to get the first draft of my Arthurian poem done (I'm currently at 100 stanzas or so and barely past the introduction), as well as write a few more sonnets. But my primary goals are to read poetry--I'm going to try and get through a collection of C. Rossetti's poems, this great anthology of 18th Century Women's Poetry I recently bought, and some more specific works I already own but haven't read through yet.

Other than poetry, I will be working on holiday knitting/crocheting/sewing/etc. and skiing. I may end up posting some of my projects here, so hopefully no one minds. I just finished a scarf for my grandmother and some gloves for myself, and am now working on some nalbinded mittens for myself as well. Not sure how they'll turn out, as I am completely making up a pattern, and indeed, half the stitches too. I also have three more scarfs I'm working on, another pair of gloves, four hats, and two bags. I really want to make some doilies too, but I figure I've already seriously overestimated what I can accomplish in a month.

Anyway, that was probably fairly boring to most people, but I'd thought I'd give an update anyway. And remember, critiques! Let me know if you want them.

Thanks,
MW
