Stating the obvious

Hello to any loyal blog-readers who are left! It's pretty obvious that I've kind of run out of steam on the blog recently. I'm sorry not to have posted anything since May -- between the dissertation and my teaching I don't have tons of time for crafting recently, much less for blogging about it.

So for at least the time being, I'm going to be continuing to do what I have been doing for the last 6 months -- i.e., not posting any updates to the blog.

I hope that as I make some progress on the dissertation my energy for Looking Glass Knits will be rekindled, and I do plan in the future to return to regular posts. But I wouldn't look for that to happen anytime soon. In the meantime, if any of you are interested in affect in late medieval English literature of the fin'amors tradition, I'm your woman. I know of someone who's blogging his dissertation, but I suspect if I tried that I'd drive away the last vestiges of you who still come around to visit Looking Glass Knits! I can see it now: "I came looking for a hat pattern, I left with a quotation by Brian Massumi..."

Thanks for your well-wishes and gentle prodding, you readers who have posted comments and questions in the last few months. I wish you lots of joy in your knitting!
