I bought the basket on the Biglow site. It was one of their after Christmas sales. Can't wait until next Christmas to use the teapot. The Eggnog tea is great. I will have to order some for gifts next Christmas. The ginger tea is also nice. It is a better then cutting up ginger to make a tea.

Susanna's Present
I had fun knitting both items. The yarn for the mitts is Knit Picks I used the Feather and Fan pattern. It was a free pattern from Gail at the EZ knitalong group on Yahoo.
The bag is Cascade 220, the pattern is from the One Skein book. I also sent the book to Susanna.

January Sock of the Month
Here are the socks I knit with my gift from Franney. They are so comfortable.
Opal Yarn from Franney
I recieved this yarn from a swap organized at Townsandknits a yahoo group I belong to . I just love the colors. It was great to knit with.
Scarf from Daphne
I love the pockets. It keeps me warm sitting at the computer and my phone fits in the pocket.
Fiona's Christmas Stocking
I made one for each of my kids. I need to take pictures of the other two.
Pink and Blue Baby Hats
I had fun making these baby hats. Pink and Blue of course. I need to had them out at work and make some more.
Christmas 1957
My father found this picture going thru some boxes. I just had to take a picture of it. We all love the balloons on the Christmas tree.
Relish Dish
Isn't this pretty?
I know I have dishes like this at home. I'm going to search for mine and then I want to start a collection.
It was so pretty on the table filled with olives.

Knitting 2007
I finished my January Sock of the Month
I used Opal yarn that I recieved in a yarn swap on TownsendKal on Opal.
Franny sent me this absoulty beautiful yarn.
I used the Basketweave Ribbing Socks from Stitches of Violet.
The pattern is not complete on her blog, but it is easy enough to figure out to knit it correctly.
I love the socks and will be wearing them to work tonight.
I hope to start on my Clapotis using the Malibrigo yarn. I ripped out the Clapotis I knit with it last year. I will now alternate the 2 skeins.
It ends up being a stole and should look beautiful.

100 miles by April 1st.
I signed up to do the 100 miles by April 1st Challenge. I'm not sure if I will make it but I will do my best. Right now I can walk one mile a day and still function. At the end of the month I will try to increase my walk to 1 1/4 miles a day. I know slow and steady wins the race, but I just don't know how much my knees and other joints can handle. I did order a new pedometer. Now for the weather to warm up a bit so I don't end up freezing on my walk.
5 days in January and I've walked 5 miles. Not bad for a sore middle aged women.
