Happy New Year

And welcome to my Grand Blog Re-Opening!

zella has gotten a new theme and also a new reason for being. I’ve decided to move my old posts about my family to a new, as-yet-unreleased site and to use zella to write about things mostly unrelated to my family. So, let’s have a go, shall we?

As you probably already know, on New Year’s Eve we had a blue moon. In honor of this uncommon event Blue Moon Fiber Arts held their own uncommon event – a sale, an Open House and the Eclipsing Blue Moon Cast On. This was one New Year’s party I didn’t want to miss so off I drove, credit card in hand, along with a wonderful friend who made certain that we didn’t get lost or miss out on any of the wonderfulness on offer.

Yarn Haul from BMFA Open House

I think I did pretty well. Don’t you? A little yarn, a little fiber, plenty to keep a girl warm and happy in the New Year.

I also worked a little bit on my Nutkin sock. I’m knitting it up in the beautiful Pagewood Farm yarn DH and the Cupcakes gave me for Christmas. Pretty nice, huh?

Nutkin - First Cuff

It’s only the beginning of the cuff of the first sock, but I’m pretty happy with it. It’s a pretty fast knit and I’m hoping to finish them in a respectable amount of time. In other words, sometime before 2011.
