Happy New Year!

Last January I made a list of things I wanted to accomplish (see Crafting Plans/goals/dreams in 2010). Looking back on this list I am pretty satisfied with the number of goals I actually met or worked on.

I've had a very productive year; I think I completed about 25 projects and have a few more that just arent done yet. I have expanded my library of reference books. I knit something from yarn I spun (see the Very Tiny Ear Warmer). On December 31st I became a card carrying member of the Knitters Guild and signed up for the Master's Program. I worked on my sewing skills when I made my Seedless Watermelon Smocked Top Dress. AND I finished the first prototype for an original design! The pattern should be ready by the end of the month!

New goals for 2011 include:

Holiday Spirit

Sunday afternoon my roommates and I hosted a holiday party, during which we encouraged our guests to decorate sugar cookies and to make ornaments for our tree with fantastic results! 



Top-secret X-mas Project!

These are some yarns that I may or may not be using for a top secret x-mas present/original design. Stay tuned for more info (after x-mas!)

Work Shawl

For the past couple of weeks I've been working tirelessly on a rather large lace shawl for myself. The pattern is very simple, a 4 row repeat of garter stitch with yarn overs and chevrons, but I just love it! Also, it has pockets!

I'm on my 4th skein of 6.
