Merry Christmas

     Well it's December 25 and I've already started planning for next year. I've spent the last few weeks knitting and crocheting like mad because as usual I've left most of it until the last minute. You know how it goes, you think you have lots of time left and then life gives you a slap and reminds you just how long it takes to knit a pair of mittens or crochet a hat.
     Any way I've decided on three things for the new year
     1) to learn some new stitches
     2) to make at least one generic type gift a month
     3) to make something from one of my many books once a month, this means that once I make a pattern from a book it goes back on the shelf until next year.
     4) to blog more.

     This month I'm learning the star stitch, I'm going to make a wash cloth using it, 2 things done. Learned a new stitch and will have part of a gift for next year. Lets see how it goes.
