Well here is 2011..

and January is half over already. Where does the time go.

I have just checked my list of things to knit in 2010 and am very happy with my effort of all the things listed that a I did complete. I didn't complete 2 items, a knee rug and an item in feathers yarn both of which were for Albion Park Show that is being held this weekend 14 & 15 January. I did manage to knit one knee rug and one feathers item for the show though.

I have made a list of things to knit in 2011, I haven't put it on my blog yet, maybe I will, maybe I won't. It mainly consists of knitting for the knitting sock stash and knitting from stash only groups I have joined on Ravelry, they are apart of Morris & Sons forum on Ravelry.

So far this year I have knitted 5 coathanger covers for my grand-daughter, and I am currently knitting the first pair of socks for the sock stash knitting. All of which are a part of the knitting from stash only too.

While on holidays we had a day trip to Glenrowan Vic to visit Ned Kelly country. So while in the area we went to Beechworth and some know what is in Beechworth....besides the lolly shop...Yes....the Ardent Alpaca store, a beautiful store, full of beautiful alpaca things, bed quilts, pillows, clothing and best of all yarn....I did buy some yarn, and before you say 'hang on a minute, you are not buying yarn in 2011'.....I did buy it from christmas gift money....so technically it was from 2010 and it was a gift so I really didn't buy yarn at all...are you convinced cause I am. So I am still on track for not buying any yarn in 2011.

I did visit Albury again to go to the Knit2Go yarn store, which I did visit last October, but got there 20 minutes after they closed, well we set off to visit the store, got very excited when we pulled up out front, only to read a sign on the door. Closed to 18 January 2011. Bugger, bugger, bugger. I was a bit disappointed, but hey I am hoping 3rd time lucky....not sure when I will be down that way again, but hopefully sometime maybe in winter....busy, busy year this year from me and DH.

Yesterday I dropped off my knitting for Albion Park Show, I entered 17 items. I can't wait till Saturday morning when the show starts to be able to go and check out how I did. Last year was the first year I entered in this show after moving there in 2009, it is a lovely small show, but has heaps of things, I really enjoyed looking at all the cooking, photography, flowers, vegetables, knitting, sewing etc. So pretty excited about tomorrow and seeing everything in the show. I will put photos up of my entries over the weekend if I get time.
