Greetings and Happy-Almost-New-Year! I hope you had a lovely holiday! We did...we saw all the families, and even had a birthday party and a baby shower (both for my SIL). We are now very tired and cranky about being at work.
I really didn't do any knitting while on vacation. I mostly read. Call it exhaustion, or perhaps I just wasn't in love with anything I had brought with me. I blame it on post-big project funk. Upon returning home yesterday, I tried to knit, but just moved from one project to the next...with no emotional attachment to any of them. I cast on for a pair of Swedish Fish (rav link) and even got to the first row of fishies, then realized I was using needles bigger than what I swatched with...so I had to rip those. They only success I had was finishing the button placket for Fana (rav link). I didn't seam it to the sweater though as it was dark out and the yarn is dark blue, and I don't have the best light on my couch (which I was not moving off of to save my life). Tonight I'd like to work on the buttonhole placket, but we'll see what happens as the DH and I need to go shopping for a snowblower. We are supposed to get two more storms this week, and since the DH hurt his back and shoulder, I am doing all the shoveling, and I'm about to loose my mind if I have to shovel anymore (I have shoveled more this month than I have in the last 2 years). I am DONE with this Winter...and it's only 8 days old. Sigh.
So, I think the game plan for the next few weeks will be this:
1. Finish Fana cardi...1 buttonhole placket, knitting the collar, and seaming the the sleeves all that remains
2. Finish a pair of wrist warmers for a co-worker (I only have 2" on them and haven't even put them up on Ravelry yet)
3. Start the Swedish Mittens...cuz they are really cute and I want them badly.
Once Fana is done, then I'll think about the next big project...but I'm sort of on a finishing kick, and it'd sure be nice to finish the Kilt Turtleneck (rav link). Oh...and then there's Sapporo.....
Wait, here's the game plan for 2009:
FINISH ALL ADULT SWEATER WIP's!!
There...list making complete, I feel better.
