Fetching ...

Nope, not just for dogs. ;)

It's been a long, long time since I blogged anything, so I'm trying to get back into doing that. Of course for the past few weeks I've been knitting stuff I couldn't share on my blog, seeing as the only people who read are likely to be the ones I was knitting for!

These weren't a Christmas gift, though, just a spur-of-the-moment quick knit for my aunt Laurie. Pattern is Fetching, which is currently the most popular WIP (work-in-progress) on Ravelry. So, either people there aren't marking their projects as finished, or they're just making millions of them, because this took me 2 days. Very easy! I do think the yarn was a bit bulky for the pattern - if I make more I'll be using a lighter weight yarn. The yarn is Mission Falls 1824 Wool and I used size 5 needles. The pattern calls for 6s but those would've been way too big for auntie Laurie's little hands. They are a tad big as it is!

Happy New Year everyone ~ hope you have a wonderful 2008! It is 10:35 here but I have already watched the ball drop (yay time zones! hehe) so I don't feel the need to make it to midnight. I told Olivia that tomorrow was the beginning of a new year, the year 2008, when she would turn 4, and she looked at me as though I had sprouted a second head. I'm pretty sure that concept went straight over her head, so I don't imagine she'd entertain sleeping in on New Year's day either.
