Already two weeks into 2009

I can't believe that it's almost two weeks into 2009 and I haven't even posted. I have the feeling that this year is going to be one of those times that just sweeps by. I seldom make resolutions, but I do take time to be still and notice if any themes seem to be wanting to come forward. This year I have heard "Finishing Up," and "Working Studio Artist." I can go with those.

So, in the continued interest of "Finishing Up," here are some projects I've completed in the first two weeks of '09. All of these are from my stash, or my mom's stash that I inherited. First, the socks from the Yarnarian's KAL. I thoroughly enjoyed working on these, in spite of trips to the pond several times. They were so worth the effort:

Then there's the scarves I'm making for gifts. First one is Black Wool-Ease from my mom's stash, in a simple K3, P3. Next is a diagonal pattern in shiny rayon yarns from my Mom's stash. I googled the yarns, both Bernat,and neither are made anymore. And last, a WIP, with one down and the other on the way, my Julia-Inspired socks. (You hang in there, Alison. I'm praying for you with every stitch.)

So far, I like the way 2009 is shaping up.

Beautiful socks...I love the hint of lace.

Linda, I received the "Encyclopedia of Needlework" last week - thank you so much for a FANTASTIC book! It's going to be such a valuable resource for me, I can tell. I so appreciate that you thought of me...I will be using that volume a lot.
