The scarf is finally finished! On to the next project, I picked up a UFO and started working on the KAL project I bought in Portland. Zaynab, Jeanie and I picked out the cabled wrap at Knit Purl in September. Zaynab has her project complete, I have one skein of yarn to go, and I think we lost Jeanie's interest in about the middle of the first skein. The yarn is luxurious, but the pattern is very repetitious. I know I need another project on the needles too, so I plan on casting on a hat for Caiti this week. She lost hers somewhere, so it's a perfect excuse for another project.
One of my New Year knitting goals is to knit my first sweater. Jeanie and I signed up last week for a sweater class in March, an Icelandic cardigan knit in the round and steeked. I will learn two color knitting and steeking. Fun!!
Knitting burns 80 calories an hour... I wonder if I can count that towards my exercise goals for the New Year, probably not. :-(

yes you can! it's better than nothing!!! i wonder how many calories are burned while treadling??? :)
Your scarf is yummy, yummy! As for our KAL. I picked it up last night. I worked on three repeats. I am so excited for our class! I can hardly stand it. Learning to steek was one of my new year wishes. I did not put it on my written list but it was on my internal list! Yeah! A new technique. We need to research spinning and calorie loss, to bad it isn't as much as spinning on a bike. xo j
