Looking back, looking forward

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?

… the afternoon was spent spinning…

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

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. Cute little satchels in blue, lavender and brown. Must. Open. Wallet.

Sucked back in.

Yep. I’m knitting a Jaywalker sock. And yes, I joined the 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 for this amazing sweater.
