What To Do?

Okay, what do you do when you have already copied the pattern, with permanent marker, to your fabric and the date is wrong? Yes, we all make that mistake of writing the past year for the first few times in the new year. But, here is a stitchery pattern that was copied last year and with all good intentions (yes, should have been finished in 2009!)to stitch in early December. Somehow, it got lost in the pile of other things to do and finally surfaced this year--2010!
There are thoughts of doing a dash followed by 2010 but don't know if there is enough space. Also, it could just be stitched, framed and considered done in 2009 and not worry about changing the date at all even though it was finished in 2010. Oh, well, guess in the wide world of troubles this isn't a problem! This design comes from Kaaren at First Friday Freebies Each first Friday of the month she posts a new stitchery pattern from her designs.
Other freebies are beginning this month. Check along the blog side where each new site that is found will be posted. If you are a knitter check out Kris Knits for new knitting pattern each month. Kris has some wonderful dishcloth patterns. And of course, Debbie Mumm always have free projects.

Right Start for the New Year

Not a Book! But a CD!
We begin 2010 with new sock knitting patterns--an assortment from several different designers in fifty states. There is a promised KAL on Ravelry (Group is 50 Socks-50 States) as well from this collection of patterns.
You too can have this CD book by contacting the editor, Dr. Laura Andersson at Sirius Knitting

Passage

Here we go--we are passing into a new year. Before leaving this old year behind it's time to reflect. Reflections of sharing time with good friends, learning from them, laughing with them, crying with them. Reflections of the love of family; caring for each other; being there for any crisis or happiness.
Yes, we are passing through a tunnel into a new year. Here's the best to you and yours for a Happy New Year's Eve!

Good-bye! Hello!

It's time to say good-bye to 2009.........

And hello to twenty ten!

We will close out the year with one final handspun and hand knit item--Basket Whip Cowl as modeled here by 'Greenhead'.

Finished, complete! Now, we move onto other projects that are on the list. And maybe add new projects to those wips........

Christmas Day!

Happy Birthday, Baby Jesus!

Merry Christmas!!

The stockings are hung by the chimney with care in hopes that Saint Nick soon will be there.

Stressed?

Do you feel like these end threads of a sari? All jumbled up? Running around with no purpose to your madness?

'Welcome' to some stress relieve! Stop! Take a deep breath! and think about the reason for the season! Now, doesn't that feel better?
