January KAL - Snowflake

Hello all. Here is the first KAL from my Yahoo monthly dishcloth knit-along group of the year. It's a snowflake. This is probably the only one I figured out within the first two days. All of the other ones had me stumped.

I am also taking a knitting class at Janet Kemp's in Stratford. It's a nine week class. I am making a afghan. A honeycomb afghan to be exact. I will post pictures when it is completely done. It's coming along nicely though. Only one class so far. I am her only student. It's nice getting all of the attention of the instructor. All well off to get the baby ready for bed and me an hour of knitting my afghan. I have homework to do for thursday night.

Happy Belated New Year

Happy Belated 2007. Where did that year go? Well I got a pocket calendar that you can write down all your projects that you plan to do month by month and when they have to be "casted off". I got the calendar as a free little gift from the magazine Simply Knitting, it's a New Britian based magazine and I love it. The first project for the new year is a baby sweater for my friend Jessica who is due in April. She found out she's having a boy so I picked out this pattern picture here and the yarn I am using is Fantasy Naturale. I can't remember the color name but it has blues, browns and cream in it. I think it's going to knit up nice. I also got yarn to make Elizabeth one too, in purples and greens. Now I just have to find buttons. I don't think I am going to put buttons on the hat though.

Today is also 18 years that me and my husband Michael have been dating. He's a wonderful husband and friend and also he's a great father.
