I wish I had the patience. :) Great job!
Hey there, I found your blog through the comment you left on my blog (woollymammothknits.com - thanks so much for that btw!) and just wanted to say I love reading it! Your knitting end of year review is awesome. I can't believe you just learned to knit in January 2010, you accomplished a ton! I (re-) learned to knit in July '07 and it was the same for me, I fell in love with the craft and it became my favorite thing to do.
But I'm rambling. I saw you're in the Norfolk area, quite the coincidence - we've just moved there! It's one of the reasons I haven't updated my blog in ages as we've been trying to find a house and all; but then I've never been that good about updating really. I think it's fantastic how often you update, it's inspiring me to update mine more often :)
Sorry this got kind of long! Are you on Ravelry by any chance?
Happy New Year to you and yours!

MCI - thanks! =)
Linda - Hi! Thanks for the compliments! I actually just started blogging again. I used to blog at another address, but eventually stopped. Facebook made it too easy to update family with a sentence or two. But I ended up missing my blog, so I started a new one. =)
Welcome to Hampton Roads! We've lived here for about a year and a half, and honestly I'm really loving it here. I found your blog from your post on the HR Rav group about starting a mom's kid friendly group, I'll have to email you about it! =)
