Welcome to 2016!

Well it is snowing,  again. We had about five inches over night and it is still coming down. I enjoyed a nice day by the wood stove knitting on socks.  I hope that 2016 has begun well for you.  Looks like part of our family is in for some change; they are moving.  Closer to us so that will be nice for the children to have grandparents closer.

Here is my Christmas present from Carl.  Not totally finished but soon I hope.

He replicated the Ashford Traditional I love so much.  The wheel is oak, the hub is blue pine and the rest is scrap.  I love it!

Here is my list of USOs for this year.  We made this term up at the last stitching meeting in Bennett. UnStarted Objects.  I keep this list on my Nook and can check things off as I start them.

For my other fiber goals I plan to post any project that takes a week or longer on Ravelry. Azariah on Rav.  I want to finish at least four new designs this year.  I want to learn to weave and do the backwards long draw.
Please feel free to share your goals in a comment.

The Kook-Aid book took a hit this week,  but it's okay.  I was testing stock viability and dumped the jar over. It was a two month test instead of eight but I got enough info and still have other jars that can be used, just not as controlled as before.

I have finished cover pictures for each season of Country Sophistication. Summer is currently the blue version of the shawl and I want the yellow,  but with so much snow it will remain a want.

The next entry will be a review of last year's projects,  with pictures.
Have a blesses weekend!
