Currently, I'm helping a good friend work on some samples which will be revealed later this year...so I can't share that with you just yet.
In the meantime, let's take a look at what I was able to finish in time for the holidays...and beyond!
My mom's LBI Sweater - designed by me! As luck had it, Ramona was sick on Christmas so my mom did NOT have to receive a partially finished sweater...and I say "partially" finished because I was well on my way when I realized I would run out of light blue yarn. I placed an order sometime around Dec. 20th and received the new yarn on Dec 30th. I was able to finish the sweater before we saw my folks on Jan 2nd - hooray!
I also finished my neighbor's THIRTY (30!!!) year old sweater. I've gotten so many complements from Raveler's - one lady even believes she may have knit this one too! She's looking back through her stuff and will send me photos - pretty awesome.
Jill was kind enough to include me in her latest kit quest with Tilli Tomas. I was sent a list of "rules", 5 different yarns, and sent on my way. I designed and knit this in three days (approx 20 hours). Whew - talk about a whirlwind weekend of knitting!
I also knit this sexy little number for the shop (yes, it's Noro!)...
I also made this cute little slug for my in-laws. They love it - Karen FTW!
Ramona wanted a scarf - which I happily knit - but won't pose for a photo in it - so that's for another day! In the meantime, I made T-Rexes for she and Matt...
Lastly, I designed and published patterns for my Chester Mittens and Cowl. The cowl is a free pattern on Ravelry (after some debate). The mittens are for sale at the low price of $1.99! Let me know what you think...
Well, glad to have my first post up for the Knit Year - hope all is well with you until next time!

Whoa, I have been completely and utterly put to shame by this incredible outpouring of work, I hardly know where to comment. Lighthouse, awesome! 30 year old sweater, incredible, etc. etc. Love the cabled cowl and mittens. Why did you decide to make them free?

Yeah You rock! I am pretty sure I already knew it. I love the 30 year old sweater. Georgous! Does it fit your neighbor?
You are AWESOME ! ! ! ! !
I am logging on now to get the mittens. I just bought yarn yesterday to make the cowl and thought... hey I'll get enough to make mittens. I was going to e-mail you to get the pattern when I discovered you had it up for sale. Yippee ! ! !
Love the lighthouse sweater. You definitely have to include that in your first book along with the Tilly Thomas shawl, Dora shawl,... etc. You are half way to your book.
The slug is utterly adorable!
