So grateful for this year. I’m feeling so blessed by new friends brought by my craft and the way the internet can bring far-away people so close. Feeling blessed at the promise of the Grace and Salvation that the Savior brings. Also, excited to be entering a New Year with a new set of crafting goals.

Talk to me about your own 2015 goals! The lovely daizie knits has offered a skein of her Tango colorway in the fingering weight base of your choosing. Come join the conversation and in January I’ll be drawing a name to win this beautiful colorway from this talented dyer.

I talked today about two WIPs: my Advent scarf and my Jingle socks.

I talked about a little spinning that I did using some Must Stash Yarns fiber. So yummy. Coral Reef colorway.

I talked about being blessed to receive some gifts – some Miss Babs in Cleopatra, an adorable bauble from P is for Primitive, some Eucalan and other goodies from the gift swap.

You saw me frog my Hairpin Lace project, and saw my Sipalu (what little there is of it).

Merry Christmas, Friends. Lets move into 2015 with hearts full of hope!

I’m going on a mini-break this weekend, so quick show notes now! Project details can be found on my project pages!

Soapbox: A public response to this editorail comment. Your pharmacist IS a doctor. Not an M.D., but a Pharm.D., and we’re here to help keep you safe. We’re all human, even your physician, and we can all make mistakes. (also: I now realize the author of this letter was a man. I kept saying “she.” Another adendum: If you only have one pharmacy, the pharmacist will have access to our entire prescriptions history and be better able to make judgement calls without calling the physician)

Shakers: here’s a link to the wikipedia article on them, if you want to learn. Here’s a link to the Pleasant Hill Shaker Village if you’re interested in seeing where we went!
