Wow, It's February, How'd That Happen!?!?!

Okay, so I'm not sure where January went.  I recovered from Christmas, Parker went back to school and Aaron is still working all the time.  So excited that Patrick will be coming in March for spring break.  Can't wait to see him, I miss him so much.

My resolution this year (instead of the usual lose weight and quit smoking) was to keep a record of all the projects I knit.  So here are a few projects I've completed recently.  Okay so three pictures and I must have made a billion things as gifts.  I so need to try to get picutes.  As well as the pictures that Denise and my Mom made me for Christmas.

The picture Denise painted me for Christmas.  I love coffee!!


The watercolor my Mom did of my boys.

I've also gone back to school this month.  I was so nervous at first but I am doing pretty well.  We also found out today that we are going to be moving into a new house.  It is much larger and nicer than the one we are in now.  It is definetly the nicest Navy housing I've seen.  It looks like we will be moving very soon and I'll post some pictures once we move.

The wrap sweater I made for Alyssa.


My new Louet drop spindle kit, and the first yarn I hand spun.

My shawl I just finished in January.  The pattern is the Buffalo Shawlette from Luxury One Skein Wonders.  The Yarn is by Dream in Color - Stardust it is almost a deep burgandy with touches of green through it.  There is also a "sparkly" filament through the yarn that gives it a subtle sparkle.
