After a very long break...


Ok, so I'm going to try and keep this thing updated but not making any promises. :-)

I was asked almost 2 yrs ago to knit a hat for a friend. Yes, I said 2 yrs!!! I think I've had "knitter's block" or something. I haven't knit anything since last Christmas. I miss it but couldn't seem to get enough energy to actually do something about it...until now. I think I have found the pattern I've been looking for and am ready to tackle the hat. I think something about it intimidated me. He wants a Peruvian hat and I've never knit a hat with earflaps. For some reason, I just couldn't think outside the box on this one. (I still haven't even tried a sweater, which is something I've been saying I want to do for 3 yrs now). Anyway, my friend Dominique, (whom I've known since 5th grade) has been extremely patient with me and I thank him for that. So, I am starting the project this week. I'll post pics when I finish and hope it isn't a disaster!! ;-)
