Happy New Year! I enjoy the end of the year, looking back to see what has been accomplished. There are so many weeks that I think, what did I do this week? Did anything get done? I like looking at the year as a whole (reading past blog posts is helpful) and seeing, oh yes, wow, a lot did happen. And then, that's enough. Time to look forward to 2008. I'm already overwhelmed with all that is planned for 2008 and the year hasn't even started.

Among those big plans is my sister's wedding in March. Last August I got yarn to make a sweater for the evening reception. I haven't had time to design something, so I decided to modify a pattern. I went with VK Holiday 2005 #22. It will be much shorter and the neckline is steeper to copy the neckline of the dress. I tried it all on this morning and the neckline matches the dress perfectly. I am loving the yarn, Qiviuk by Windy Valley Muskox. Unfortunately, I think I'm going to run out of yarn. I should have modified the pattern to knit it top down. Then I could have just knit until I ran out of yarn, but I was lazy. Oh well, I probably still would have needed to buy more yarn.
