I'm gonna be keeping myself busy in 2007!
I got a set of circulars thanks to my dear hubby!
I LOOOVE these needles! I switched the sweater over to the Boye needles so I can see all my work stretched out as I work on the sweater.
I'm still getting used to having the wires attached, but I like that the actual needle part is shorter and doesn't get caught on blankets/pillows/couches/husband/person that are near my elbows.
Speaking of the sweater....I am DONE swatching! I don't have it down 100% perfect, but as long as I'm paying attention to what I'm doing, I can get it right and usually fix any mistakes I do make. Plus, since I've got it mostly down, the mistakes aren't as noticeable.
After Chauntel & Tracy's help:
Finished! (the extra mini-swatch was done on the circulars to make sure the gauge was still right because ny straights were *slightly* larger even though they are supposedly the same size):
I stopped by Chauntel's house on Saturday to say hi and borrow some knitting books. She gave me a TON of yarn (yippeee!) and so far my favorite is this mill-end cone that is a beautiful lavendar color. I already started on a scarf for MIL's (other MIL - not the one I made the belt for) birthday in January. On my new circs of course!
(The ball is the largest center-pull ball I've ever done - and by hand!! LOL)
Lastly, a non-yarn creation :)
Christmas Breakfast!!
I hope you all had lovely Holidays! Hooray for a short week :)
PS: Oooh, I almost forgot....the last crochet project I did was the java cozy for my mom. I love how it turned out and she loved it too!

Yay for everything! For the needles set, the yarn you took (and will take) off my hands, the java cozy, yummy christmas breakfast, all of it!
Check you out with all that knitting!!! Well on your way to being a master knitter. :) I can't wait to see the progress on the Rebecca sweater (whocares if you were working the WS rows backwards! remind me to tell you how I had to relearn how to knit...).
