Well, I haven't gotten around to kitting anything up yet but, we should be snowed in by Wednesday.....YES! Bring it on!.... this means a four day weekend to work on that! I have started a few projects: 1)Turkish Bedsocks - a friend and I are having a KAL, 2) Pioneer- a sweater for my daughter. I have casted on and worked the first two rows......this is going to take some concentration!, 3) Tami - a scarf from Yarnplay for my sister. I've already made her the hat. So, three projects...one new and two old..... that's a pretty fair start on my resolution. The socks will be fun, the sweater a kind of long term project and the scarf a mindless knit for the car or when I'm to tired to think and keep up with a complicated pattern. I'm sure the sweater will get easier as I get into the rhythm of the stitch pattern.

Besides the projects above there is a couple of days substitute teaching this week. I, also, need to catch up on some house cleaning and put together several blocks of a sampler quilt for a class I'm taking at a local quilt shop. IMO things are progressing pretty well. Afterall, I can't concentrate just on knitting all the time.......can I?

No You Didn't!

Oh yes I did..........I went to a knitting shop and bought more yarn for new projects! I know.....I lower my head in shame............But, I really want to make this scarf like one of my friends made........She was wearing it the other day and we all thought it was totally awesome! So, now I have 4 skeins of beautiful Cascade Sierra and some big coconut buttons to make that luscious scarf. Another friend tempted me with Turkish Bedsocks......she asked me to pick up some Koigu for her so, of course I had to buy me a skein as well! I need those bedsocks! Then, when I left the shop I found the FedEx truck parked right behind me........what to do........so I went right back into that shop and bought 2 wildly colored skeins of Noro Silk Garden to add to my collection for Brooklyn Tweed's Striped Scarf. From my previous purchase I had finished a customer appreciation card so I practically got the Noro for free! Who could pass that up?!

This is what being housebound for almost a month, due to weather, will do to a person!

Now that I have been refreshed with a yarn shop visit I can get on with my project of matching yarn to patterns and kitting them up........wish me luck!
