But, I&#8217;m pretty much a rule breaker anyway and I&#8217;m missing you guys! <em>So, sorry I&#8217;ve been away for a while.</em> Freelancing, networking and otherwise promoting my <a
href="http://www.lisaashby.com/hire-me/">small business marketing services</a> has kept me much more busy than I ever expected. That&#8217;s good, but I do miss writing and plan to get back in the groove <em>stat</em>.</p><p><img

href="http://www.lisaashby.com/2010/02/crafting-fail/">crafting fail</a>, I&#8217;m back in the game with this <a
href="http://www.elann.com/ShowFreePattern.asp?Id=138024">Pinwheel Sweater</a>. I decided to go with the most gorgeous teal in 100% wool (<a
href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3196/2858275410_36ccafefd2.jpg?v=1221444735">Cascade 220</a> to be exact), and I&#8217;m terribly excited to be knitting again. I&#8217;ll be working up the first swatch tonight and this project will be on like Donkey Kong in about 24 hours.</p><p><strong>If you&#8217;re a knitter, feel free to join me! You don&#8217;t have to knit this particular sweater, of course, but grab and project, leave a comment and tell us all what you&#8217;re working on!</strong> We can call it a quasi-knitalong. And if you wanna, we can connect on Ravelry <a
