It has been far too long since I last wrote and my entries are few and far between. I'm not sure who even reads this, as it isn't as much a knitting blog as much as it is a blog about my knitting. Small but critical difference. So, I am hopeful to start this year with more success maintaining a log of the projects I do and the progress I make.
I was inspired to return here after a call I received from a friend who commissioned me to work out some slippers for her this past holiday season. It wasn't a difficult project except that I had to learn some more crocheting in order to make the decorative flowers to adorn said slippers. This all while I was finishing up a much loved and labored poncho for my mother's Christmas present. It was a lot all at once, but isn't that always the way?
So the slippers were a hit with her friends and family, who incidentally are my one retail shop - the Pro Shop at Abenaqui Golf Course in Rye, NH. They've sold (and sold OUT) of all of the sweaters I knit and sold to them - much to my surprise and delight! So, sounds like a business meeting will take place in February for more of these projects to get planned.
In the meantime, I am working on a blanket for myself, some socks for a friend and will begin a baby sweater for another friend. Always lots to get done. But I'll give you a peek at the squares I am blocking to crochet together for this POP Blanket project, which I am very excited about.
Hope some great projects are popping up for you too!
