End of 2007

So today is the last day of 2007. I must say good riddance to this year. Our blog has been sadly neglected but as a resolution to ourselves we are going to try and maintain it more in 2008. (ya easier said than done right?)

As Louise posted we have plenty of projects for 2008, but trying to find the time do them is the key issue. We're both working on the Cat's Paw Lace Scarf. For Christmas Louise spoiled me with a new pair of Lantern Moon circular needles! Oh my talk about heaven while knitting. I'm still an addi girl but Lantern Moon is a close second. Although Addi's are much more affordable therefore I can splurge on those a little more often.

Off the knitting note probably one of the best things of 2007 is my friendship with Louise. We must thank Verizon and our ENV phones. Once we found out we both had the same service and the same phone, text msgs have gone flying. It's quite a crack up to compare our monthly text msgs totals. Louise- You're a doll and I really don't know what I'd do without you. You're always there to listen to my complaints, my heartaches, share in my joys, and just general banter. So to that Thank you my friend! Looking forward to 2008 with you.

So being New Years Eve and all I may or may not bring in the new year with a pair of knitting needles in my hands. But rest assured I'll be busy throughout the new year!

P.S. In regards to the sweater sampler well let's just say it's hit the frog pond. I tried to take it off the needles and I messed up somehow so sts were dropped. I doubt I'll ever finish it but I am planning on working on a sweater with the instructions from the book.

Starting Over

Okay, here we are. December 31, 2007. I worked a little on the sweater sampler and then realized I was knitting something that was never going to turn into a finished product so I put it aside to actually make stuff! The sampler was fun but my fingers were itching to make things that I could present to people and say, "here! I made this for you!" So it was put down and thus began a whirlwind few months of starting projects, putting some aside to start others and actually getting a few things finished. For Christmas I made several dishcloths to give as gifts to some of my fellow religious education cohorts at Church - did I get any pictures? Sadly, I did not. So that will be a definite rule for me in 2008 - photograph all finished projects! Jenniffer is still doing her thing on the West Coast and we exchanged Christmas gifts to ensure that we would have projects to begin the New Year (yeah, like that was going to be a problem!). We're both so pathetically hooked on Addi Turbo needles and our love of fine yarn it's not even funny.

So here's to the end of the year that was the absolute worst in my life. I'm not sure the new one will be much better but I've got a family that I love no matter how much they drive me crazy at times, a good friend across the country, lots of yarn and needles, and hopefully more good knitting friends as I'm finally also getting my Ravelry account up and running as well.

Happy New Year!
