Ok, so its New Years Eve, but….in17hrs and 24 min give or take a few (its 6:37 am now) it will officially be New Years day and all the old will be gone and the new will be here, well, new year anyways 🙂 What is everybody gonna do tonite and what are you planning to resolve for the new yr?
Tonite Hubby, Son and I are gonna snack and ring in the New Yr by watching FOX News Channel (dont get local stations out here) to see the ball drop in Times Square. During the day I plan to finish cleaning my mess in the kitchen, making the boys a good breakfast (bisquits and gravy) doing some laundry and in the middle of it all finishing up sock number 1 for the Boy and getting number 2 started While watching an all day CSI Las Vegas Marathon. Cant wait to get started, but…need to figger out what needs to be done first, the kitchen or laundry, have to choose as I cant run the d/w and washer at the same time. Tomorrow Hubby and Son will be goin to my folk’s to help my dad cut wood so I will have plenty of uninterrupted Knitting Time and House cleaning time.
Part of my plan for the New Yr is to get the Knit-n-Stitch moved to the new host so will be working on it along with trying to finish Christmas Knitting and getting started on Birthday/ Me Knitting. So in the near future look for me to announce here and at the Knit-n-Stitch that the move has been started! It will be opened as a skeleten site and will be fleshed out as the month moves along, I will have yarn, knit and chrochet supplies and some sewing/quilting supplies. No fabric or Embroidery supplies planned as of yet since I dont yet have the room to store the extra stuff.Â
The other part of that plan and also part of my living area plan is to get the upsatirs cleaned and habitable so we can move our bedroom upstairs and out of the living room and to get the bedroom downstairs cleaned and all the stuff there moved into storage so we can use that room as the Knit-n-Stitch LYS and storage area 🙂 Ambitious… yes, dooable… yes, will I be able to get Hubby to help me when I need the help and not be cranky about it… I sure hope so.
 Socks for Soldiers, I am gonna shoot for a pair of socks a month and hopefully will succeed, but am not gonna kill my hands to get them done and I need to do family knitting too.
I have a busy Yr planned and hopefully I will be able to report that the resolutions/plans have been completed and I will be taking pics of the whole process. There will be a new page by the end of the day today to keep track of how my plans are progressing for anybody who wants to keep track.
 Sorry pic is Blurry but this is the best kitchen cleaning shot I got. Josey did a very good job!!
 This is what happens when you leave a pie out to cool in a spot that a Kitten can reach 🙂 Never have I had a cat that likes pumpkin pie so I never even though about where it was cooling I just sat it on my knitting machine table that doubles as a cooling/baking rack and about 10 min later turned around and this is what I found. Oh well, LOL 🙂
 yep…its Bligh! he seemed to enjoy it so much that this is what happened when KooKoo decided to Check it out too
 yep…the boys got into a brawl on the back of the couch!! It was funny esp when they tumbled off the back and onto the seat still goin at it!
Yep, you guessed it ones behind gets cold! My mom is gonna make me a new pair here pretty soon (as soon as the fabric she ordered comes in) so my behind wont be cold anymore!
 All 4 of the apparently hungry kitties.Thats Bligh laying over Charlie eating and KooKooNut under Sandy 🙂 now for another Hungery Kitties pic;
 Charlie seems to be saying “Mamma I’m hungry too” she had just came out from under Bligh tho after eating her fill 🙂
 First 4 rows of ribbing are done on my first pair of Big Black Socks for Socks For Soldiers. I have been endeavoring to work on these for 20 min a day however Christmas Knitting took Priority and they kinda got left behind. I have since picked them back up and they have regained their former position in the Sock Bag.
 Jacob’s Christmas Socks first of a pair am almost halfway done with the foot so he should get these soon (one can always hope)
 Uncle Atchie’s boot socks Pattern: Eesti Trail Hiking Socks, Size 3 needles, Lion Brand Wool-ease yarn, MC Forest Green Heather CC Cream, worsted weight. Am on the last 13 rows of ribbing b4 the patterning starts these socks will be my first attempt at Fair Isle sock knitting, wish me luck and my Uncle too that these wont be to tight! Am gonna use the same pattern and yarn to make both Hubby and my Dad their boot socks.
 Yes I am talkin about these 2 little guys who look so cute lying there all snuggled up trying for all their worth to look innocent. Believe me…they arent 🙂 Well back to work again. Nah never mind, dont feel like workin no more so am gonna sit here and knit. Planned for this eve, Uncles Socks, BBS, and either Sons or Jacobs socks or both, depends on my mood how much of this will get done. Pics and updates tomorrow
 This is my oldest Niece Ami (my sisters daughter) wearing her hat from Aunti and Uncle Brian. Foliage pattern from 
 This is Miranda, she is Ami’s little sister wearing the Hooded Cardi from Creative Knitting Magazine Nov 2007 issue.
 Oops I cut off his head… This is my Son, Josey, wearing a 2 shirt combo from his Grame. I didnt get a pic of him wearing his half done sockie 🙂
 Jacob is the primary target of this picture, however Josey also had a role in it too 🙂 Jacob is wearing his New Watch from his Mommy and Daddy hes kinda shy so wasnt holding his presents up for pictures very well. No pic of him wearing a half finished sockie either but I did get a measurement of his foot so now I know how long to make em!!
 And last but certainly not least is Hailey, shes wearing her Cooks outfit, we all got together and made/bought her items useful for cooking. No hand knit sockies or anything however She did like the felted potholders!
