Congratulations...

to my DH, who was selected for promotion to Colonel in the Air Force last week! He also becomes a Chief Flight Surgeon on February 28. Pin on for Colonel should be June 1. This opens up new possibilities for his career and we're all very proud of him!

In knitting news, I have finished 2 scarves for the Red Scarf Project. Pictures soon, hopefully.

It's a new year...

so I'm going to try again. Today, I'm going to figure out how to add a picture! This is a picture of my daughter, R, that we took last weekend. We got to join other girls and listen to Olympic hockey player Jamie Hagerman tell us about her hockey career. This was held in the minor league Aero's dressing room, so we took her picture in the slot with her number. A picture with Jamie will have to wait, because I have to learn to use the scanner - one thing at a time!

Knit Unto Others

Today is the start of Knit Unto Others, Carole and Margene's knit-a-long. It gives us a time to remember others in the frenzy leading up to Christmas. I actually started charity knitting right before Halloween, because the Ship Project deadline was Nov. 7. Right now I'm working on a baby blanket for my church, which gives them to various Crisis Pregnancy centers. After that....?

There are so many people that need help, and so many worthy charities, it's overwhelming. I mostly knit for the two above, and Dulaan. And since I live in Houston, it's fun for me to make warm, wooly things!

I'm off to finish the blanket, so I can start something simple to knit at my daughter's hockey game tonight. Happy Knitting!

Happy Halloween

This blog has just been created. I have no idea what I'm doing, so we'll see how it goes. Right now, I have to go finish my knitted hat for the Ships Project.
(And maybe see if there is any candy left!)
