Current WIPs

So the new year has started…what does that mean for my knitting needles? A couple of WIPs on the needles & a couple of WIPs off the needles that need to be blocked before being ready for prime time. Pictures will come in future posts.

On the needles:
#1 – The Baby Marlowe Blanket – A simple blanket that should have been finished in 2005 but as I was nearing the end of the blanket it was obvious that I was going to run out of one of the yarns before running out of stitches. Yep, that was lack of planning. So on New Year’s Eve I frogged the whole thing & started over. The good news is that I’m about 2/3 of the way done with the “redo.”

#2 – A Stash Buster Scarf – Going through my stash I pulled some Mission Falls wool from my 2002 scarf & some new Mission Falls wool & am knitting a quick scarf. It’s now finished! See here.

Off the needles:
#1 – Java Keyhole Scarf – A new scarf to go with my new winter coat.

#2 – Java Headband – A new headband to go with the new scarf and winter coat.

Favorite Reads in 2005

As the new year starts, I thought I’d take a minute to list some of my favorite reads from 2005. Some were book club reads, some were Costco finds and some were passed along from friends. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

The Samurai’s Garden by Gail Tsykiama
The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
