WHere has Janurary gone?

It seems that January just began, but February will be arriving shortly.

If you made a New Year resolution , has it been
forgotten already, Have you begun new projects or are you trying to work on and finish UFOs?

I have started a hat in the flat for those who do not seem to like dpns or rounds. The green one is being worked in Bernat Jacquards, The color is called Jade and the pattern is a basic stocking cap. It is coming up close to the pattern shown on the label. I am also doing another in the round,

I finally got to try the Premier Yarn-The Deborah Norville Collection Serenity Sock Yarn in Cinnamon. It is knitting up nice and the color way reminds me of fall, maybe I should have chosen a spring one as that is not to far off, but I was thinking socks for an Elf and could not see him wearing pastel.

Your thoughts on spring, I finished the green stole or scarf on January 6th and it does look like spring.

New Beginnings or is it a repeat?

Hard to believe the old year and the last two weeks flew by. Another FO was sent a little late, another mini stocking done. This and its mate was the trying of a new pattern and needs to be adjusted if it is used again, Green scarf or narrow shawl lacks 4 inches and it will be gone also.
Other projects are on needles or yarn is being looked at to begin new projects also. Still need a few more hats There is a red one on the needles and a purple surprise for a niece who has waited patiently for several years for something from her uncle. Can not tell as she might peek at this sight.
Have you begun your New Year by thinking of things to be done or things that need to be finished. Or are waiting to see what the new year brings that you just have to have?
