Year end wrap up

The three weeks sped by faster than I could blink.

The fun times were spent reading, knitting, working at Ewe Knits and hanging out at the house.

The frustrating times were spent wanting to beat my brother over the head with anything handy. So many promises made to mom and none kept. He doesn't see the impact to her.

So I'm back at work and not much has changed. All the training I did in 2003 before moving into the dept I'm in now "doesn't count" so I'm doing a crash course in some training that is required. Of course they send the email out Dec 19th.

Still working on Optically Delusional. The back and left front are done. Now working on the right front which is now to the knit every row stage.

The Shape It Scarf with Gedifra's Scarlet turned out really nice. I ended up making it smaller and used 2 1/2 skeins.

Tried the French Market Bag from the new Knitty. I used Cascade 220. Really turned out small. I should carry the 220 double.

Ewe Knit Kits is having a Knit-A-Palooza in mid-May. Go to the website and sign up for the newsletter for more info. Classes on marketing, designing and knitting are being arranged.

And Tidewater Knitting Guild of Virginia will be offering classes by 2 well know instructors the last weekend of March. Non-members are welcome. Check out the website for info.

I had no idea you can get a marriage annulled so quickly! Wonder if that's the shortest marriage in history?
