I believe that there is someone out there for everyone. Sometimes you just have to make it happen.
Hoot and Hootabelle are very happy. I wont post any more photos, because well, Hoot got a little amorous and well, yes.

This is a yarn that I scored from a friend’s destash, and it seemed like the perfect red for an autumn beret! Cascade 220 seems like a great workhorse yarn.
As well as this great snappy little project, I went stash diving and made some tawashi scrubbies and a cloth for the kitchen.
I love crochet!

This is something I have wanted to make for a while.. A much-loved character by my now 2-year old.
A very quick crochet project! He is adored and loved!

And this month’s lucky dip is…….

CRAZY ZAUBERBALL!!!!!!
But I am a little socked out, so this will be something a little different.. something that will show off the CRAZINESS! An Augustine Shawlette.. a triangular karius shaped clapotis redux. Win.
It’s been a week of quick n dirty FO’s.. here is another one I whipped up to go as a gift..

A hyperbolic scrubbie in Anchor Magicline. I love these.. they are quick, look like some kind of weird coral brain, and are great for the bath/shower, or in a scratchy acrylic, as a pot scrubber. This will be going to someone interstate..

Happy new year to you! I hope 2010 brings you happiness, love, joy, fun, and success
A new year is always exciting.. so many prospects ahead, so much possibility. A whole set of seasons to work thru and enjoy, and of course, lots of creativity to plan for!
But first, it’s important to look back and reflect.. so here’s my contribution: A year of WIPs and FOs!


And of course, a few frogged items, a few non-starters, and things I just fell out of love with. But still, not a bad year! I also did some sewing, hand-dyeing, and some other new crafty things. Yes, a Flickr mosaic, not exactly original, and I am sure other blogging knitters’ efforts put mine to shame, but hey, I tried!
What are my creative goals for 2010?
* Cook something I’ve never cooked before, once a month. I have so many AMAZING cookbooks, why am I so scared to try things? It’s not like we are fussy eaters! For Christmas N gave me a copy of Food Safari (sbs series book) which really, I have been lusting after even before the thing was written. 180 recipes just waiting for me!
* Expand my sewing horizons. I’m going to be kidnapping my friend Shan for this – she’s a whizz even though she wont admit it.
* Magic loop socks. Why, why why does this intimidate me so? It would increase my sock knitting productivity two-fold!
I could add something sensible like ‘spend more time knitting, less time stashing’ but really.. let’s be realistic!
