Happy New Year 2008

Ahhhhhhh an even numbered year. YEAHHHHHHHHHHH I have always had a mental thing about odd years being "downer years" and I am looking forward to an "upper year".

This year will bring about a change in our presidential leadership as a nation and is also a leap year! I have a personal goal to lose 50 pounds this year. It is a pound a week with two weeks off for vacation. :-)

Over the New Years holiday I knit a hat for Jimmy. A Hat Fit for a Boyfriend by Stephanie: http://stephanieknits.blogspot.com/2007/03/keeping-boyfriends-ears-warm-since-2006.html Knit in Cascade 220 Heather color 2427 (red) picked out by Jimmy at Temptations in Dublin on Saturday 12/29/07:

Today I cast on the 138 stitches for the SSS (Spring Surprise Shawl).
