I had extra Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino left over and I couldn’t resist! I still have some – I wonder if I could get socks/booties out of the leftovers…..hmmmm…..

And a bit of progress on the koigu socks:

I had better get on it if I’m to finish them for the “Sock-a-month KAL 2006.”:http://knittinmom.blogspot.com/2006/01/sock-month-knitalong.html
I know that the “wee baby socks”: that I did would count, but I really want to do another pair next month, so I plan to push myself to finish this pair by January 31st.

And for the “Knitting Olympics 2006″:http://knittinmom.blogspot.com/2006/01/sock-month-knitalong.html I have decided to do a full-size, long-sleeve sweater. I’ve done shrugs, and started a couple of sweaters, but never finished one. I’m going to keep the pattern fairly simple (I haven’t narrowed that down exactly) to keep it realistic, but I plan to succeed!

“Mom”:http://livinglakeside.com and I went to Starbuck’s tonight and just hung out and knit, sipping peppermint hot cocoa (neither of us are coffee drinkers) and what a wonderful time it was – so relaxing and enjoyable. We plan to do it more often!
