     Today is officially Savery Knitting's 1 year birthday. I chose Friday, September 13, 2013, as my start date. I did this because 13 has always been my lucky number and I wanted to transfer that "good mojo" onto my Knitting Career.

     I find it completely interesting and a little bit coincidental that I have been questioning my path in knitting this week, of all weeks. There are some areas where I thought I would be further along and other areas where I am leaps and bounds ahead of where I thought I would be. I have heard of the 7-year itch, but I think I have the 1-year conundrum. There are so many avenues I could go down with my knitting and my other ventures that I feel like it is all 1 big tangled ball of yarn. I guess I'll just have to sit down and take a few moments to untangle the yarn and think about things.
