Thanks for everybody’s lovely and generous comments about my new sheepy gift! My friends were both surprised and flattered by your comments. And just for that, here’s a photo of some of the sheep from the Owens farm:

Our holidays were wonderful and much sleeping was enjoyed. Is it surprising to know that I spent the morning of Christmas Eve dyeing?

More Blueface Leceister

… the afternoon was spent spinning…

Umm, yes, that’s more Blueface Leceister… and some merino/tussah from Deep Color Studio

… and New Year’s Eve was spent with friends, knitting this sock and drinking overly aged icewine…

Jaywalker, sock one down

Because of the nature of this skein of yarn, all the brown bits end up on one side of the heel. Fun.

We’re five days into 2006 and I know _big_ things are going to be happening to me and friends and family around me this year. Here’s wishing you all a 2006 full of good health, happiness, food and fibre.

Oh! And before you go, my friend, stylish Jen, wanted me to mention the new knitting bags up at [Jordana Paige](http://www.jordanapaige.com). Cute little satchels in blue, lavender and brown. Must. Open. Wallet.

Yep. I’m knitting a [Jaywalker](http://magknits.com/Sept05/patterns/jaywalker.htm) sock. And yes, I joined the [KAL](http://www.januaryone.com/archives/jaywalker_kal/).

Let’s see how far I get with this KAL… _No wait,_ let’s see how long I can restrain myself from also joining Cara’s ["Crossed in Translation" KAL](http://www.januaryone.com/archives/2005/11/crossed_in_tran.php) for this [amazing sweater](http://photos.imageevent.com/cdcphotography/miscellaneous/potds/websize/twstcardi.jpg).
