A New Year Already!

Happy New Year!

Wow! Here we are half way through January and I have no clue where the time has gone! Sunday I finally was able to get together with my Champs knitting group at the new location for Knit Wits, our yarn store in Paradise. The place is wonderful. It is larger so we actually have room to spread out and still not trip over each other. The chairs that she has for us are soft and comfy too. Oh, and I don't want to be remise in mentioning the fireplace. It gives such a cozy, comfortable feeling to the room. I will post pictures that I took from Sunday, but since I am blogging from work (tsk, tsk, bad girl!) I have the pictures on my home computer. So look for my next post.

I guess something else to get a grasp on is that SP9 ends the 31st of this month. I sent out my last package yesterday to my pal and revealed myself to her. Guess I will have to wait and see if she posts anything about it. My pal that spoils me has been great this time. She has stayed in such great touch with me. I don't go a week without some type of e-mail or comment on my blog. I definately know that I have a secret pal and that she thinks of me often. I was looking at the yarn and purse pattern that she sent me in my first package and plan on starting it this weekend. Of course if my sister knew this she would throw a fit as I still need to make two doilies for her that I promised last February. I just can't help myself, the purse just looks more fun and faster than the doilies. Okay, so maybe I should at least work on the purse and the doilies at the same time. I will think about it.

I guess I should admit that I also have started my first pair of socks. At the Champs session that is what I chose to start. My friend and fellow Champs Roni gave me this beautiful sock yarn, dpns and sock pattern for Christmas. I just couldn't resist getting going on them. Besides, she is teaching me the ins and outs of sock making and the socks are for me. Geez, do I sound selfish or what! Okay, I need to get a grip on myself. How about after I make the socks and purse (tee hee).
