First FO of 2008 and Happy New Year!

Pattern: Roman Earflap Hat, by Mintyfresh

Yarn: Debbie Bliss Merino DK, pink

Needles: US size 5 16" circ, and US size 5 dpns

After dragging my feet on this project for way to long thanks to the holiday knitting, I picked it back up yesterday and finished (I only had one earflap and the pom poms left to finish). Just in time since I awoke to a bit of a snowstorm...

Looking back at 2007, it's hard to believe what a year I've had. So many changes!

In 2007, I:

graduated from law school

passed the bar exam

started my first "real job"

started adult-ish things like a 401(k)

fell in love

moved to Pittsburgh

moved in with aformentioned love

traveled to: Detroit, Las Vegas, Ft Lauderdale, [Mexico, Belize, Honduras, Grand Cayman - on the cruise], Boston, and Chicago

was a bridesmaid in my best friend from High School's wedding

Knitting-wise, 2007 was a pretty big learning year. For the first time, I:

knit lace

took a knitting class

knit with beads

did the kitchner stitch

joined some bandwagons: Chevron Scarves and a Clapotis

knit a hat (then proceeded to knit many many more hats)

Like most, I have many goals for 2008.

(1) give up the snooze button (probably my worst habit)

(2) get back into shape/loose the weight that snuck up on me/stop wasting my gym membership. As soon as I figure out how to add something to the template to calculate miles run/walked this year, look for it in the sidebar.

(3) knit colorwork
