This past weekend we were lucky enough to go skiing in Vermont. We stayed with friends and had a wonderful time. I am amazed how well my children ski/snowboard and with the Olympics starting, it was great to be in a ski town and watching the winter games.
I finished a restitch of a project and sent it off to the magazine... and now I am working on another project.... this time a knit wrap that is really pretty. I have been staying up to watch the Olympics so I needed a project that I could work on while watching TV and who better to help me with mindless knitting in the round, but the Goddess Elizabeth Zimmermann...

I am going to be making the famous (in the knitting world, that is) Green Sweater, knit by Elizabeth Zimmermann (goddess of knitting) and dissected and written by Sunday Holm. I bought this kit for myself for Christmas and I was lucky enough to get the exact wool that Elizabeth used. Thrilling for me! The story of the sweater is here.

Hi there. Who are those gorgeous kids on the mountain? Great weekend!!
Deanne!!! You left a comment! Those are two of the most handsome men on the planet and two of the most sweet, beautiful, respectful lovely young ladies I have ever had the pleasure to spend a weekend with.
What a great trip!
I'm envious of your EZ sweater kit...from the moment I read the post on that sweater I wanted to make it. Can't wait to see the progress.
I don't know about you but I'm counting the days until summer.
