I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. Now the New year is upon us. Where is the time going? The kids will be soon back to school after their Christmas Holiday. I finished the Christmas stockings I knit for a client. They were fun to knit. Now I'm knitting a baby blanket for my niece in Calgary as her baby is due Jan.22. I think I'll knit her a little sweater and bonnet also. Everyone enjoys new mitts or socks in the cool months ahead. They are fun to make also. So start a new project for the new year, either knitting or crocheting. Have a safe and Happy New Year and Happy Knitting.
