Well, it's finally here. 2010. It's going to take a few months of trial and error before I can write the correct year. Happens every year. It takes me to, oh, about mid-March before my brain kicks in that the year is different.
First I want to wrap up 2009, at least on a knitting perspective. I like what I knit this year. Sometimes I can't say that. But this past year I feel like I did like everything. And if I didn't like it, I realized it's OK to frog a whole back of a vest {cabled} and part of the fronts because I didn't like it.
Granted, I didn't finish everything I started last year. I've still got a skirt, a hat, some mitts, socks and an owlish sweater leftover. But I figure I'll get to finishing them when I get to it.
On a personal note, my hubby and I had our 15th wedding anniversary last week. And, frankly, I think, in this day and age, that's a great accomplishment!
So, on that note, I hope everyone has had a successful first week of 2010!

A New Year!
Thanks to all who wished me a Merry Christmas! I hope everyone had a blessed Christmas and are having a great New Year! The kids went back to school yesterday after their two week break! I think we were all ready for them to go back!
I took a couple of weeks off from blogging just because I needed the break. I didn't even check my e-mail until now!
I have been knitting. Still working on my mittens! And some snowflakes from a pattern book my aunt sent me, for the LittleOne's class (they study snowflakes this month). I made my Hubby a helmet liner in blue on a road trip to Sedona! (will post pictures once I figure out how to upload them from my new camera!).
Now, I'm trying to figure out what to knit next. Here's what I'm deciding on:

Now, I'm trying to figure out what to knit next. Here's what I'm deciding on:
- The spiral lace hoodie from the latest edition of knit.1
- The flirty skirty pattern I found on Ravelry
- The garter yoke cardigan from the latest edition of knit.1
- The mud flap girl tank
- And several various hats that I've taken a shine to
I'm leaning towards the tank, hoodie, and some of the hats! In the end, I'll probably try to knit them all! Such is the life of a knitter! As always, way too much to knit but too little time to get it all done (and there's always something new to tempt)!
