Basically for the month of January, I hibernated. I slept a lot, watched a lot of movies snuggled under blankets, and, oh yeah, I knit a lot. In fact I knit instead of blogging...or reading, or checking email, or reconciling my checkbook, or talking to Brian, or cleaning, etc...
I think one could say it has become an addiction. I've even signed up for a social networking knit and crochet site, Ravelry. Brian called it my "one true love" last night. But it's a productive true love.
Here are some of the things I've created:
London Beanie for Brian that is just a little too small for him. :(
Approximately 20 pairs of the classic Grandma Troyer Slippers knit in two months. This one is for a Bears fan.
My first sock. It wasn't even that scary. Okay, it was a little scary. And I still need to make the second one...
Fiddlehead Mittens. This was such a fun project. I took a class to make these and they have a cozy alpaca lining. Mmmmm. But I am not going to lie. I am not very functional while wearing these. I have dropped many things while wearing them, one was a large cup of Mountain Dew in our car. Oh well.
I'm currently trying to gear up for some other projects but for now I'm taking a little break and knitting a dishcloth.
