Happy New Year! I'll be here knitting with y'all. Don't think I'll make it to the cozy, though (but it sure is cute!) I'm trying to finish up a hat for my daughter's birthday on Sunday...
What a coincidence...I'm having turkey, green beans and mushrooms for dinner. Then I'm knittin'
Great minds!

Tell him to itch away! This is knitter's night out!

You just can't hold back a group of happy knitters!

Nice resolutions!
I need to make my list too. I think I'll put "buy more yarn" to get a good start.

Enjoy your time with your hubby!
We will knit a stitch in your honor.

You're so lucky! I've never been on a cruise before. But, it's on my list for next year hopefully.
Sounds like a blast! Count me in! I'm hoping to finish my monkey from Itty-Bitty Toys before 2010 is out. I started it 6 weeks ago and made great progress until I got to the limbs and then life got in the way. I have so many other ideas on stuff to knit so I just need to finish it!
sounds like fun! I don't have all the colors of yarn needed, but I will asap!
Have fun yarn shopping! You KNOW we wish we could go with you!

I know how you feel about finishing up projects! I'm working on a scarf for my dad, dishcloths for my oldest son, a blanket for my step-granddaughter, another blanket for my stepson, and I haven't even started some other promised projects.

Yes it does! Amy has a video on doing that increase stitch here: KFB Increase Video
