Long overdue update

I know, it's been ages since I updated here.

I have some knitting updates. First up, Karyn finished her knitting project bag. The way the yarn striped is really cool, but the knobbly yarn was a major pain, especially when it came to weaving in the ends
Then, I made another baby blanket, this time for a young mother in our church. She loves it and has been using it a lot, which is nice to see. And yes, that pattern is based on one of the Learn to Knit Afghan squares.
Hmm. Talking of which. Are you sitting down? Back in April I mentioned that I'd completed all the squares of my Afghan. After languishing for 8 months, I started crocheting an edge around the squares and putting them together. And, at last, it is finished. To give you an idea, it's about Queen-sized-bed sized.

In other news, we have a sort of 2005 year in review newsletter. If you'd like a copy, leave a comment and let me know.
