I spent the last couple days doing a glorious amount of NOTHING except laying on my [new!] couch and finishing up everything in my 'needs finishing' box. That included two socks (be it for different pairs, but anyways...), sewing in Lelah's elastic band, and seaming + end weaving for both pairs of mitts and the Cashsoft Shrug. I also finished up 2 scarfs (and almost a 3rd, the damn mock-lace scarf that is now over a year old) that were pointlessly hanging around, and just need to block them. I may or may not end up photographing these items. I'm just saying.
Anyway, I did start ONE new project (so much for THAT New Year's Resolution). That damn Ticker Tape was screaming "knit me into a bottom-up sweater NOW!", so I obeyed and now have an arm, a front, and 1/2 a back. And the thing weighs like 8 ounces. Hense the name "Light as Air", for our "Hot as Hell" winter in California. I'm sure you have been reading about all the crazy rainstorms/tornados/flooding in this little state of ours, but I would just like to add that I spent the New Years Holiday at 5500 feet and still had NO SNOW. Lots of rain, but not 1 snowball! I felt like a fool for lugging my big 'ol boots and snowpants up there.
[returning to the topic....]
So knitting. Instead of making a resolution along the lines of "finish this before starting that" (because the last time I tried to assert that, I realized what a FOOL I sounded like) , my resolution is to knit what I want, when I want, without apologizing or rationalizing why. It's the anti-resolution.
So here is what I am gearing up for in 2006

That's 100% Armenian right there. A baby, who's skin has never seen the sun, who is tanner than me. Awesome.

That cable bag is super cute, where is the pattern from?
Love that sideways rib! Where is the pattern from? You'll probably get a lot of these questions, you might has well let us know where all of them are from!
