Happy New Year!

Wow, its 2011 and all my Christmas decorations are still up (including 3 trees)!  The fun task of taking down all the decorations is on my list of things to do.  I have been kinda preoccupied with something that has captured my full attention - knitting.  Yeah, I may have a trillion quilting projects in all stages of construction, but I visited my local knitting shop Needleworks and was hooked (excuse the pun).

So, there I was browsing around this tiny corner of a large quilting shop called Threads of Time and saw the cutest little baby hat I have ever seen...

Like a little kid, I was smitten by all the colors and had to make it!!  This is the Marley hat from the book Itty Bitty Hats by Susan B Anderson (who also has, as I just discovered, a fab blog with all sorts of fun knit stuff).  So, I purchased some circular knitting needles, some other knitting gear and yarn to get started on my FIRST EVER BABY HAT!!  Wish me luck :-)
