I saw the New Year in sitting at my MIL's picking up the stitches for the lace edging to the Hap shawl. This will now be my commuter knitting for the next few weeks.
Never being one to have just one project one the go (more like 100) I spent Monday working on another new project - the Sienna Cardigan from Fall 06 IK. I'm using Jaeger's Extra Fine Merino Chunky in the hope that the difference in gauge will make it fit me. I made a large swatch aka the right front and am fairly happy with the fabric I'm getting. Sizewise it also looks as if it will work so I'm happy.
Our New Year's celebrations were quiet, unlike some of those elsewhere when drunken louts went on the rampage damaging a local bus shelter; they then attacked cars parked outside the residential home for adults with learning difficulties where my sister was working. Then they smashed the residents satelite dish, ripped the wires out and caused a great deal of terror to innocent people.
I hope they had the hangovers from hell today!

Happy New Year (and I picked up my hap shawl edging on xmas day itself!)
