Big Kid and Little Grandson

The holidays went so quickly! We are already missing our kids, big and small. Alas, everyone is back to work!

Hand Knit Socks Goal

Last year I knit 20 pairs of adult socks. This year I plan to knit 24 pairs. Here are the first. For ME! Then I started a pair for my favorite son in law.

Yarn for New Baby's Leggings

I wanted to try a leggings pattern with our first grandbaby but just never got around to it. Here's hoping we get a baby girl to go with big brother!

Wonderful Knitting Distraction!

This is my favorite distraction!! Notice the knitting project nearby!

Elsa's New Hat

A teacher friend requested a warm hat and I got to choose the pattern and yarn. It's wool of course! She loves it!!

Already a Fun 2010

This year is already going well! I'm knitting and yes, have purchased more yarn. Yes, knitting at the Garcia Library is still very popular and last night we had a darling young middle school boy knitter for the first time. He's been knitting for a month, learned via the internet, and blended in so well with the little girl knitters (ranging in age from 7-19) and older knitters (ranging in ages 23-85).

The Garcia Library also now has a volunteer to teach crocheting to interested persons of all ages. She came last night and was warmly welcomed by all.

And yes, there is a new grandbaby in the works for our family so I'm looking at infant styles so this baby will be well dressed from birth.

I do wish all a very happy, safe, and prosperous New Year. I also hope to get a few more people hooked on needlework this year!
