Happy New year .......almost. Just a few more hours.Hope the new year brings good things for everybody.Well, just a couple more days withe the boys at home. I hate when they have to leave , but I guess that's motherhood.Holly(our dog) is imitating my son Peter. He jumps up, she jumps up, she's trying to box with him too. She's got a good left paw.
I've found some great new crochet patterns inInterweave's new winter issue.I think I'm going to try a pretty blue sweater.I'm glad i stuck to my guns this year and finished my knitting projects.
Even the beautiful mohair wrap i made for My friends sister. That was a year long project. Not that it really took that long, just that i get distracted and start other projects. If only I was an octopus, I could knit all my projects at the samer time. Peter gave me the most beautiful ginger coloured wool that he go at the Granville island market. I love it. A chunky knit scarf is in it's future. That and a gift certificate to Beehive wool shop and I'm in heaven.I"d like to knit a bunch of funky slippers for the Treat Tuesday Christmas Bake Sale next year. The ones I made this year, sold out.
Ah........ now to enjoy the New Year's evening with the boys.
