Happy New Year!


‘Tis the time for New Year’s resolutions. Mine are: exercise more; read more; and crochet/knit more. I have the same resolutions every year and do well except to exercise more. There is only so much time in a day. How can I exercise, read, and crochet at the same time? Solution – put yarn in an apron pocket, plug in my new purple iPod nano fully loaded with audiobooks, and get on a treadmill. Problem – I have enough trouble walking and talking at the same time. And now I’m adding listening AND crocheting to the mix! Beware pedestrians.

I’m on a baby blanket kick right now, but babies can’t have too many hand-made-with-love blankets. Sometimes the blankets don’t come out as well as I would like. For instance, this ripple blanket is a little small. It’s my own pattern (ripples are easy) made from stashed yarn. Next time I will add a few more ripples and another pattern repeat. The blanket can still be used as a throw for a newborn baby.

Have a great 2009!

Believe me, if you do the "crochet while I walk" thing, it will NOT go undocumented. I'm holding you to our nightly walking, so you will have opportunities. . .
