Happy New Year (16 days late)! How have you all been? I made it through to the other side of Christmas Knitting with another Rusted Root top finished just in time for gifting. This went to my SIL since top-down, no seams trumps seaming every time, imo. In any case, I've started this year on another small projects kick. I've finished the toe socks I'd started before the holidays and replaced my sleeping cap with a new one. And now I'm working on Circle Socks, only I'm working them toe-up and with a short-row heel.
Once again, this year I'm aiming to shop the stash first for yarn, which, considering the number of projects I've already got queued and planned with stash yarn, shouldn't be too hard. I'm starting to get a little over zealous about my knitting though. I've got these socks on the needles and I already want to start swatching for KD's Heather Hoodie Vest KAL. Not only that, I've signed up for two teams for Ravelympics next month and I plan on making the Star Crossed Slouchy Beret and (finally!!) the Blooming Cotton Scarf. I'm triply excited cuz these will all use stashed yarn--nearly 2400 yards of it actually! I can't wait! And I'm finishing my dissertation this semester! I'm so giddy I can't stand it! *g*
Well, I'm starting to ramble now so I think I'd best take my grasshopping ways off to my knitting. TTFN!
Woolly and MDK!

Are you looking to replace the diss with knitting? *waves metaphorical pom poms*
Love the socks and scarf especially! Good luck with all the projects!
