Happy 2008!!

Happy New Year to everyone!

I had a REALLY NICE New Year's Eve. My SIL came visit us. We picked her up at Lee Outlet and then headed to WEBs around 1pm. We were there for almost 2 hours, and of course we bought "a little bit" yarn (let's say,
we both got 25% off discount). I know you won't believe me, here is a picture to prove...
I do need to show the Malabrigo Silky Merino in a closer shot, because it is just too beautiful and yummy. I got the Stonechat color.


Traditionally, I would make a fancy dinner for New Year's Eve, but I knew that we were going to Webs, and who knew how long we were going to be there. So I prepared the dinner the day before. I was going to make salmon with wasabi butter sauce, but I couldn't find fresh salmon. Then I tried to make chicken instead. After marinated the chicken, I screwed up the sauce. I was frustrated, and give up the dinner. We went to Bangkok Garden in New Haven for dinner. Yum!! However, I did make my own dessert... my favorite... Creme Brulee...

We watched the ball dropped last night/this morning on TV, and then went to bed. This morning, we dropped off my SIL back to New York. I felt so sad. I did have a great time with her, knitting, yarn shopping... I wish she could live closer to me. Or may be I could join her Moms' club someday.

As for knitting, during the holidays break, I finished 2 project, the Carolina socks and Fuchsia Lace scarf. Now I am going to cast on something else....

You had a great New Year's Eve! WEBS - and look at your haul! I have a case of yarn envy.

Your scarf is beautiful and so are the socks.

Happy New Year!

Happy new year! I'm glad you guys had such a great time! (Nice yarn, too -- especially love the Stonechat Silky Merino and the Shibui sock yarn; )

Mmm... creme brulee! The socks and scarf are so pretty.

Happy New Year! Sounds like you gave 2007 a good send off. I hope 2008 will be a great year. I'm jealous of all your yarn. :)
