Emily's Hat and Mittens (new pattern)
A Happy New 2009 Greeting to Friends and Family! We received many colorful and fun cards during the Christmas season, so I feel in touch with lots of old buddies now. My last blog entry was last fall, so I'm behind. The included photos will show you what I've been up to, as far as knitting goes anyways.
A Shawl for Davina (new pattern)
Davina is a very special young lady in my son, Daniel's life. (A wedding in June!) The cable lace shawl in knitted in a wool/silk/linen blend yarn I found in Newark, DE, at Stitches in Style.
Mag's Hat and Mitts (new pattern) Baby Ben's Sweater Set (new pattern)
2009 will bring big changes for Peter and I. We will move into our new (old) cottage just down the road. A few alpaca may be coming to join our entourage. We will see our oldest son get married in June. Our youngest son will move into an apartment in Bloomington while attending IU. As I continue to design and knit, hopefully the blog will be updated on a more regular basis. We send our best wishes to family and friends and will be praying for an improvement in the economic issues that affect us all, for continued employment, and for the Lord's provisions of shelter, food, and transportation for those who have suffered recently. May God Bless You in 2009.
