So, another week (no, wait - make that another month!) has passed - how do they go by so fast?? Just wanted to check in so I don't lose the little bit of momentum I have, though there's not much that's really bloggable to report. This month, and especially the last week, has been filled with preparations for a big event at my small church, and for a long-planned 'long weekend' in Hawaii - we're leaving at the end of next week. Given the snow & rain here at home, we picked a great time to go!
I did promise a picture of my first FO for the year - a simple, skinny scarf in Noro Iro. This picture isn't especially inspiring, but I love the colors and the simplicity - this took just a few hours over two days! Are skinny scarves still popular? Guess it doesn't matter - I had one skein, and used it all. The length is perfect, and, despite being so skinny, this scarf is surprisingly warm when double wrapped.
I've done a little of the embroidery for my 'Bullseye' headband, and the puppy slippers? Well ... now I'm thinking that my lining concept just wasn't meant to be! May need to just let it go & knit up the cuffs next week in order to be done. The baby will just have to wear socks with her slippers (yep, she's here, and she's a beauty!) if it's really an issue.
Maybe next week I can post a bit more on my 'Back to History' reading - I did finish one book in January that I think qualifies, and have a few more to add to my list. All in all, I may have gotten more accomplished than I realized! Now, back to my lists ...

Have you started reading "Mary, Queen of Scots" yet? I am on page 165 of "Faith and Treason"--over the hump.
The scarf is so pretty. Nice colorway, isn't it? And yes, skinny scarves are still in!
