Well, it's obviously been quite a while since I posted, and probably no one is reading anymore. Life has been, let's say, "interesting" the past few years. But I'm still here, knitting away in my little corner of the world.
Like many people, I have been watching the impacts of yet another major earthquake in the last week, and trying to figure out what contribution I might make to the world right now.* In that spirit, I've decided that proceeds from Mayberry Sock pattern sales will all go to Mercy Corps from now on, for disaster relief and international aid.
As it happens, proceeds from all 9 copies I've sold so far went to Mercy Corps after the Haiti earthquake, so it seemed logical to make it permanent. I only wish I had more patterns to sell - perhaps I will try to work on that soon.
Sorry I don't have a better update than this right now, I certainly don't intend for this to become an earthquake relief blog. I've been trying to get my craft room on order lately, and once that's done pictures will be easier - I'm proud to say I have a dress form now so I don't have to take funny portraits in mirrors anymore. Although I'd bet people find more amusement in funny portraits in mirrors...
* Aside from getting a family emergency kit together already for when our time comes in the Pacific Northwest. 'Cause it's a'comin.

I'm still reading your blog. :)
And your Honeycomb vest pattern is still in my Rav queue. Bad me.
Please don't give up on your blog or your patterns. You have a wonderful talent. And you have at least one reader, still. :)
