Hello

Well that was January. Rather a testing month but that seems to be the way of the world at the moment.

A little but not a lot of knitting.

5 socks 

I suspect but haven't checked that these were all cast on during 2008. The single sock is from the Get Knitted Sock Club and the yarn was sent to me in October - Irish Jig. So yes I am waaaaaaaaaaaay behind as I still have December's "Christmas Conga" to knit up and another lot of yarn will no doubt drop through the letter box this week. The way I see it is I finish October's socks (hopefully this week), I then knit Christmas Conga as my February socks and then February's yarn as my March socks. I need to see if "someone" will wind the Christmas Conga yarn for me - me and the swift sometimes come to blows and stress is not allowed at the moment on health grounds!

As well as 5 socks I have 5 squares to show for January from the 2009 Mystery Blanket so I am up to date with that. My yarn arrived from Debbie yesterday to do February's squares. I had the details emailed across to me Thursday night and when I looked at them my first reaction was "challenging" and then I remembered how much trouble I had with square 37! The plan is to start with square 18 this evening. It would be good to get them knitted up this week but I am not going to fret if I don't just as long as they get done in February.

Happy Knitting.
