If you are like me, you have knitted your way through the holidays, gifts, and enjoyed yourself very much! Do not get burned out, but take some time to think about your self now. In January, I find it is the best time to work on your own sweater, cape or skirt. It is me time now, and what better way, than to find a great wool, and make some short work of it!
Find some great patterns, and buy a new book. There is nothing like having a new knitting book, and sitting in your lazy knitting chair, with some tea, and working through your next dream. Find your pattern, and decide. Wow, isn't that hard?
So many patterns, so little time! Make a decision, and then make a second decision, just in case your wool or silk or cotton is not available. You can find great wool online, but it is fun to really see and feel the wool. Keep your plan, bring the book, and get help at the store on how much wool to buy. Be sure to buy two extra balls, as you can not come back and expect the same dye lot, but you can always return the extra.
Now, take your time with the pattern, and learn some new steps if you can. It is for you after all!
