On the Needles 1/2/2015

I'm back and it is the start of the new year. So lets see how long it lasts.

I have tons of stuff on the needles but I haven't taken pictures yet. So I will just show what I finished in the last couple of days.

Not the best picture but I don't seem to have enough light in the basement. I found a link through Facebook that was asking for 1000 hats by Jan 21 for Michigan babies so I thought what the heck. This is an acrylic yarn (which was requested) and of course it is red, also requested. I ended up knitting one and crocheting 3. I haven't crocheted in a long time and I really can't do it very often since it really hurts my hands, but these hats only took my maybe 15 minutes each. It was really not bad at all. Just pretend to watch TV with the hubster and I am good to go.

Then, I received a lovely Christmas present from Mary, who is a student in my Loyal Union Quilting Class. It was a lovely skein of Blue Ridge Yarns - Boysenberry and a pattern to go with it. The other students challenged my to have it done before our class in January. So of course I took on the challenge. I finished it yesterday. So it is my first finish of the New Year. Now if only I could get my other projects done as fast.

The pattern was very simple but I loved the way it came out. It is a very airy cowl and I am going to enjoy it very much.

Hoping everyone gets a lot accomplished in the next year.

For more goodies head on over to Judy's. 

Hope to have plenty more to show this next year.
