Today is Steve's first day at his now job, and therefore it is the first day of my actually having a husband around in the evenings and on weekends. I cannot begin to put in words how elated I am about this. It's going to be so wonderful for our family! I can't wait to hear about his first day when he gets home tonight!
I have not been feeling very bloggy lately, so I think I'm going to take a break form here for awhile. Any time spent sitting at the computer seems like it could be better used doing other things, specifically sleeping. So, farewell for now!
I'll leave you with a picture of this handsome little devil, who is now the proud owner of six teeth!

Nina, pretty ballerina...
...in my Nina Shawl!!
I love this pattern by Phyllis Howe. Not 100% on the colours I chose, but it feels nice to wear.
For more info, specs and a photo of ABBA, check out the blog. And bring your dancing shoes!

mitres square variation
Finished in time for Christmas, just, is my variation on the mitred square blanket. I think this is referred to as a Taro blankie?? I may just be making this up but here's mines anyway. The idea was to create a throw for the back of Jackies settee, based on her new colour scheme of browns, zingy oranges, vibrant cerises and chrome. I am mighty pleased with the result and am loving it! Giving it away may be a problem. I am posting about it here because I can't on my blog as she reads it and I am dying to share it with anyone.
More info will be posted there after the holidays.

Group of Seven (Mason-Dixon Minis)
Hi all:
well, I got lazy and decided to finish with seven, not nine. Here they are, mounted on wee little 4"x4" canvases:
They were all knitted using Stork Svale fingering cotton - on 2.5 mm (US 1 1/2, I think) double pointed needles.
A fun little exercise - my favourite is the Nina shawl, and I will be taking the yarn for a full-sized one abroad with me on my Christmas trip to London, UK and Paris. :-) Also planning to make a full sized Circle of Fun rug sometime early in the new year 2008.
For more information than you likely need and some more photos, feel free to pop on over to the blog.
Cheers,
Kristina
