I was happily working on the Peacock sample for Three Bags Full over the holidays between games of Dance Dance Revolution (one of the new Christmas presents in our house … that is one fun video game!).

Happy Birthday to me!
Today is my birthday and my husband has given me a weekend with Sally Melville at the end of January! How perfect is that? I’m confirmed in all the workshops, even the one for which I was on the wait list.
Eloise, she is finished
Not only has it been a long time since I’ve written and much has happened, I just lost the rather long-winded post I was working on! The most exciting thing by far that I’ve done recently is attend the Emerald Lake 2007 knitting retreat with Annie Modesitt.
I made it!
I finally received my invitation to join Ravelry and I’m part of the community now! The wait wasn’t nearly as long as I thought it was going to be (just over a month).
Testing
Testing, testing, 1,2,3! The site has been moved to a new host and I’ve switched from holliyeoh.ca to holliyeoh.com. I keep going back and forth on which is prefereable. Certainly the .com is the most widely used website extention.
Nifty gadget
I’m still plugging away at my various projects. It’s Eloise’s turn now. This project was stalled at one point because it was time to measure for the buttons and buttonholes.
Tangled mess of ends
Last night I sewed in a lot of ends. Fingers and thumbs for two pairs of gloves, plus colour changes makes 56 ends. Yikes! The sample gloves are for my new pattern and now I just have to wait for a non-rainy day to take the photographs.
Fall Cleaning
I’m way overdue for a cleaning / sorting / assessing of all my ongoing knitting and design projects. I spent a few hours going through the baskets and bags that surround me where I sit to do most of my knitting and this is what I’ve come up with for UFOs.
That Knitable Thing
In the words of a child. As we were rushing out the door one morning a few weeks ago Hana said, “Hey, I like what you’re wearing … that knitable thing.” Don’t you just love it?!
