Happy New Year

Well, I am finishing out the year with a bang. I completed Calorimetry in Berroco's Jasper yarn today. I started out using the plastic Bryspun needles, but ran out of yarn. I frogged it all and started over with the Knitpicks metal needles and had a little to spare. I really liked how it turned out and will be knitting more.

I even went back to Knitwitz and bought more of the Jasper yarn. I added colorway 3815 to my stash. It's a brown, black, grey combo.

While I was there, I also bought another skein of Iceland in grey. I plan on making two hats with this yarn. One with this grey and one with another color that I bought before.

This month also brought my sock club yarns from Yarn Pirate in Icicle and Socks that Rock in Coola. They are both blue colorways. I love them both. I didn't sign up for the Yarn Pirate booty club again, but decided to try STR one more year. I am thinking of trying to get into the Loopy Ewe club. We shall see what happens.

I received my Rowan Kid Silk Haze yarn for the Ice Queen KAL in Janaury. I also got my beads from Artbeads. Colors are Pearl and Smoke. I am looking forward to starting this since I will be using beads for the first time.

I was excited to get these stitch markers from the Lima Pop Shop. What a bargain! $10 each for 6 markers and they are beautiful! Her pictures and mine do not do them justice.

I was able to end the year with reading 62 books. This definately was my all time high. I have recently read: Where Angels Go by Debbie Macomber, Warning Signs by Stephen White, Two Little Girls in Blue by Mary Higgins Clark, and I reread Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

Now, I will have to increase my goal for 2008 to exceed 62 books.

More tomorrow on my goals for 2008
