Happy New Year!

New Year Ravelry family. No resolution list here. I'm just grateful to live to see a new year. Here's the first project for the year. It's the Storm Cloud Shawlette.

A New Year

Happy New Year Ravelry friends. I'm not the type of person to make New Year resolutions since I can never seem to keep them. I know what I would like to achieve for this year. So forget the lists, forget the resolutions. If it happens I'll share it on my blog. No more stressing.

My New Toy

Knitting is one of my favorite hobbies. I also love to read. Since I take a bus to work everyday, that's when I do most of my reading. However, I'm not thrilled about having to drag a bunch of books around with me. Hence, my Christmas gift. Now I can take all of my reading material and place them on this one little device. I love my Kindle Wi-Fi. Yeah!

Knitting Retreat

A group of friends from work went on a knitting retreat to Rush Creek Retreat in Sugargrove Ohio. The cabin was beautiful. It had plenty of room for all fifteen of us.
It's very relaxing to be able to sit and knit, crochet, etc without any other distractions. Definitely will have to make this an annual event.

Me Time!

Knitters Connection started yesterday. Didn't sign up for any classes this year. However,I did sign up for membership and picked up my goodie bag. Our knitting group at work took the afternoon off. After eating lunch we stopped by to see what the vendors were selling. Then we got a good three hours of knitting and crocheting in. I'm going to have to schedule more of these half days for knitting.

WWKIP Day

On June 12th, our knitting group sponsored our World Wide Knit in Public Day at Polaris Fashion Place in Columbus Ohio. Close to twenty people showed up to knit and crochet. The rain held off allowing us to be there all day. A lot of people were interested in what we were doing. It gave us a chance to promote the fiber arts.

Meet the Ravelry Gang

Our knitting group at work (Stitch'n Club) got to meet the Ravelry gang at Yarnmarket. There was a nice turn out. It was great to meet the creators of Ravelry. Thanks to Deborah at Yarnmarket for a successful event.
