Happy New Year everyone! I hope that this year finds us all healthier, happier, & on better financial ground than 2008 left us. I've been enjoying the holidays with my family & getting some dents made on various knitting projects.
I knit quite a few gifts for Christmas, much to my own surprise. I wasn't planning on making anything. I didn't think I had enough time to whip out anything worthwhile. Lo & behold...gifts magically appeared off my needles. I made ECU purple & gold slippers for my eldest DS & his girlfriend. I also made a moebius Ithacowl in a black color Blue Sky Alpaca Silk for the girlfriend's 21st birthday. It was dreamy soft & super quick to make. I plowed through 8 felted square potholders (knitpick free pattern)in Andy's Merino from Farmhouse Yarns (Black Cherry & Arizona colorways)for all my sister-in-laws, stepmother-in-law, & one sister. I even made a washcloth from the Yarn Play book for my mother-in-law (her request!) I'll post pics later. I accomplished it all in 2weeks.
Deborah & I hit a great sale in Georgetown's Joyfilled Garden & Gifts. I purchased yarn for Yarn Play's Poppy sweater as well as yarn for a Berroco jacket (can't think which pattern at the moment, but it's in UltraAlpaca.)I have a lot of planned projects to do this winter.
Hope everyone's knitting up a storm. Hugs.

Happy New Year! You are going to love Poppy! It's a wonderful sweater (except for picking up over 300 stitches and the seaming). I wore mine the other day.
Everything that magically appearred off your knitting needles for the holidays turned out beautiful. Be proud for all you accomplished with all that was going on in your life. Miss you already sis!
