Has it been a year?

my last post was Sept 15, 2009. i haven't blogged since for depressing reasons. My favorite knitter and inspiration passed away the morning after my last posting. it had been unexpected.
In response to it i shut down and could not bring myself to talk to anymore for a month except my husband and kids. i finished 1 knitted garment then and stuck it away, started a sock and never touched it after reality hit and i no long had a mom i could call and cry about knitting issues to. i lost everything then. i frogged the sock 6 months later since i felt it was attached to my sadness.
Since then i have finished a pair of socks and returned to the visible world of knitting with friends. I feared i would get the pity looks from the same people who knew my mom but they let me talk about her and we had laughs its just me who still cries when i think of her and miss her dearly.
Sept 16, 2010 marks the first anniversary of her passing
