Where has January gone?

Where has January gone? I feel like I am in some sort of time warp. We are trying to get back into a daily routine. Rachel returned from Israel. She had a fabulous time touring the country, met many new friends, snapped over seven hundred photos and rode a camel. School starts this week. Skating continues.

RP, Stanley and Zippy are settling in. There is lots of puppy energy to burn off each day. Zip is now 12 weeks old and lots of fun.

I have a few days off from work which is a welcome change. I've been looking through Ravelry, waiting for my yarn orders to arrive and trying to find some quiet time to get ready to start my projects.

Its finally cold. Not much else to report. Hope to have more news soon.

Resting with the pups

I've had the past two days off and even though we are keeping busy with Zippy, I'm starting to feel a little more rested after the retail holiday frenzy.

No knitting lately,but BrooklynTweed's last post inspired me to spend some birthday money to order from http://www.beaverslide.com - I chose the McTaggart Tweed, I think that is what it is called, in wild currant. I've wanted to knit myself a Pure and Simple V-neck cardigan. This yarn is perfect. I am also going to knit my first Starmore - St. Brigid in charcoal Canadian Regal wool from Schoolhouse Press. I'll have two "me" projects, one simple and one challenging. I'm anxiously waiting for the yarn for both sweaters to arrive.

Rachel is still in Israel with birthright.org I'm missing her so much, but know she is having a wonderful time.
