2006 - Flotsam - Love

Looking back on my blog posts from the past year, I realized that I really knit a lot last year (30 items to be exact). Not as much as some of the knit bloggers I read, but I was still proud of myself. The list is just for me to remind myself that I am able to accomplish things. Sometimes everyone needs to pat themselves on the back.

8 Hats
3 Wraps/Shawls
10 Sweaters
3 Bags
4 Socks/Slippers
2 Bracelets

Now for my first knit of 2007....drum roll please....

Pattern: A custom pattern I printed up from the computer program Sweater Wizard

Yarn: Louisa Harding Flotsam #4

Comments: When I put this yarn on the shelf when we opened the store, I knew that this yarn would be mine. The color combination is my absolute favorite, robin egg blue and brown. This is a really interesting yarn too. The base of it is like cotton interfacing. It has a string of blue with little slubs of cotton and it is all bound together with a gold string. The effect knit up is really cool. As an added bonus, it is washable! Plus, with it being mainly cotton, it will be a great sweater for our mild Houston winters.

Now, on to love. Today is my eleventh wedding anniversary. Boy, have the years flown. It has been a wonderful ride. I love you Kevin.
