I'm been trying to post my photos thru my flickr account and it hasn't worked. I have no idea why and it is extremely frustrating.
I'll try and keep up to date on my finished knitting items for 2008. Also need to sit down and write out what I knitted in 2007.

So I do have readers.
I need to post more often. I know that. I spend way to much time on Ravelry.
Had a great time at Stitches West. Still need to take pictures of what I bought.
I finished knitting Tudora from knitty.com. I used some of my Malabrigo. I'm using the rest of my Malabrigo to make Fettching mitts for myself.
They will be so soft.
Not having my own computer does slow down getting my pictures up here.
Hopefully by the summer I'll have my own computer then I can spend even more time ignoring family and paying attention to my online friends. LOL
Thank you very much to my loyal readers.

Posts
OK. So I'm still not posting much.
I still need to write out my finished projects for 2007 and start a running total for my projects for 2008. Wonder when I'll get around to do that.
Oh, well. One of these days I'll feel like it.
Good thing there aren't many people out there reading my blog.

Dec Socks of the Month
My December socks. I finished them on Dec 31st at about 11am. So I can say that I knit a pair of socks each month for a year. I don't think I will try to do something like this ever again.

Happy New Year
I wish everyone a Happy New Year.
Not sure how much blogging I will get done this year. It would be nice if I could get more done then 2007.
Last year I knit 12 pairs of socks in 12 months.
This year I hope to knit some lace. Not 12 lace project. Just knit some lace.
I have 2 Pi's that need to be finished. Then I have at least 4 projects worth of laceweight yarn.
So today I cast on for a laceweight Feather and Fan Scarf.
I'm using Knit Picks Shadow.
My goal might be to knit 4 lace projects this year.
We will see what happens.
When I have time I'll update my finished knitted items for 2007.

Big Black Socks
September socks. Used Knit Picks Elegance. Difficult to knit because of their size. My wrist hurt long before I could finish the sock.
I will send them to Socks for Soldiers.

Smocking Mug Cover
Found the pattern on a blog somewhere. Can't find it now. It is called a Mug and French Press Jacket. The original pattern is knit from the bottom up. I then found a pattern that knit from the top down. I liked the way the top down pattern looked so I used that one.
I knit this and the mitts for a Holiday Exchange at Knit 'n Chat.
This was a fun knit and I think I'm going to knit more mug covers. They will make great gifts.

Feather and Fan Scarf
Here is the scarf I knit for Shirley to match the mitts I made her. She loves the color.
Feather and Fan Mitts
I knit these mitts for Shirley for our gift exchange at work. I used yarn I had in my stash.
November Sock of the Month
Here is the second sock I knit for my November Sock of the Month. The first sock I knit in 2001. They are to small for me so I will give them to my daughter.
Twist-n-Shout Socks
I knit one sock on 2001. The second sock I knit for my Novemenber Sock of the Month.
Garter Stitch Mitts
I knit these mitts for my brother's girlfriend for Christmas. They were a very quick knit. Yarn is Elegance from Knit Picks.

Little Leaf Lace Scarf
Here is the scarf I knit for the Scarf Exchange. The yarn is Cascade 220. The pattern was a very easy knit. The yarn is wonderful to work with.

Brian's Scarf
Brian bought this yarn when he took a knitting class at school. He never finished the scarf so I figured I would finish it for him. I use the Men's Cashmere Scarf pattern from Last Minute Knitted Gifts. It was an easy knit. Yarn is Encore.
Big Black Socks
Here is my first pair of Socks for Soldiers. They were my September Socks. They are washed and dried ready to be sent. One problem. I don't remember where I left them. Typical of me. I used Knit Picks Essential in Black. They took a long time to knit because the leg and foot are 12 inches long.
I hope to knit two pairs of Socks for Soldiers in 2008. I'll just buy the yarn and have them in my bag as my take along project.

October Sock of the Month
Here are my October Socks. I did finish the September sock I just haven't taken a picture yet.
These are Opal yarn I bought in 2001. A simple vanilla pattern so you can see the color changes in the yarn.

Knitting
I've been able to start knitting again. A few weeks ago I started having pain in my wrist so I took a break. Now I just let myself knit for short periods.
Today I finshed my October socks. Opal yarn using a vanilla pattern.
Last week I was able to finish a scarf that will be sent to my exchange partner from Knit and Chat.
Later today I will start back on my September socks. Not sure when I finish them but I do think they are the reason I hurt my wrist. I am using Knit Picks Essential on size 1 dpns and I think the weight of the yarn on such small needles were a bit tough for my wrist.
I do have yarn to make a hat and scarf with larger needles so I may switch back and forth between them and the socks to help my wrist out. At the first twinge of discomfort I do stop knitting and take a few days rest. Now willing to risk the use of my hands just to knit.
