dancing and leaping.

I'm not. I fight against anxiety, having "flushes" of anxiety every now and then, and those make the whole world go black for a second. Very difficult to concentrate on anything. I don't know if I can dechiffer the rest of the dishcloths until 13th Day. :-(

Ladies-a-dancing corrected 8.9.2008 - rows 30. and 48.
Corrected 9.9.2008 - rows 21 and 22 - Thanks to the sharp eyes of Carol B :-)
This was "just" a typo - Ps and Ks had changed places and there was one L too :-D

Alternative patterns; textured dishcloths ;-)

No, they are not transcribed and won't be either. You really should need to learn to read charts, you know ;-)

What else... It's the first day of a new year. All the promises and surprises are fresh in the future, all the disappointments and hurt have been lived through. A new year is a treasure box waiting to be opened.

Feline Flip Flop will be taking some time off from swapping
Monthly Coloriffic hasn't announced the next theme yet
Whip-lash is still working on the decoration and ornaments
Softies' January theme is "something old, something new".
For some reason I missed the Pincushion challenge for December: Winter Wonderland. It's still on.
Take a look at "2007 Knit-Alongs and Swaps"

My year will look like this:
once a week a doily, once a week a pair of socks, once a month a surprise for next Yule with family, once a week an ornament for coming holidays, and other stuff during the rest of the time.

I will be "playing politics" once a week and not do any crafts that day, only discussing about issues with people in my discussion groups, but not more.

And I will keep up my groups and blogs.

Oh, and I will be joining the sock challenge and design a couple of socks for people to knit :-D
You'll see ;-)
