WOW! As I sit here writing, it is December 8, 2008 but it is only 5 degrees outside! It feels more like late January than it does mid December! For right now we have some snow on the ground, maybe it will stick around for a white Christmas! We can hope!
Tonight I took the kids to Pajama night at Lanesboro School. It was so fun! We all wore our pajamas and bathrobes and we got to listen to 4 bedtime stories and have a snack and a craft. It was a perfect night for it because it is absolutely freeeezing out! It is cold but us knitters love the cold. For alot of us it is part of the reason we knit what we knit. We knit to keep those we love warm, and we knit for those who cannot knit so they can keep thier loved ones warm! Some of us knit so we can sell what we knit to buy oil to keep us warm (since oil is dropping but those of us locked in are supporting the rest of the economy!).
Well, I have finally completed all of the hats that were ordered for Christmas gifts! YAHOO! I am just working on 2 special order felted bags. They are coming out just great. I know I keep promising to post pics and I havent but I will soon!
I have most my gifts for Christmas knit. I just need to do a few finishing touches and they can be wrapped. I did quite a bit: hats of all sizes, scarves of all lenghts, and some felted bags. As soon as the holidays are over though, it is time the think about what my goals will be (knitting,crafting goals that is) for 2009. I have to think of some ideas for items to sell on my shelf at LANESBORO JUNCTION for January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, and September. I have October, November, & December covered. It is the beginning of the year that is hard for me because not all people buy wool items all year round (myself excluded!).
Feel free to email me with ideas or requests! I also need to start thinking of what items I am going to knit for gifts for next year. You can never start to early.
And the last thing I need to decide on is what I am going to learn/master in 2009. In 2008 it was cables. I learned them but I would not say I have mastered them by any means so that will be one thing I will continue in 2009.
I think I would like to learn/master fingerless gloves on 2 circular needles instead of 4 dpn. I think I would also like to start making socks as well. I'm up for suggestions though.
I also have joined a community on ravelry.com but I have not had much time to put into that and I would like to make that look more like a web page! I love surfing on there and never seem to make the time to put my page together. Too bad I couldnt get paid for surfing!
I got my Santa Fleece today (see previous post) He is just so beautiful! I love Santa!
Christmas will be here before we know it! It goes by so fast! I would love to see anyone's projects. Please feel free to email me. Also for 2009 I am thinking of getting a group together to just have a little knit night out. If you are interested, please let me know! I can teach you if you need to learn!
Well, I am off for now! Happy Crafting. PS. The above picture was designed by my husband Paul, my daughter Alyssa, and my son Jacob on PAINT! Isnt it awesome!
