Year One

It's my 1st Blogger-versary!!

I started blogging on Yahoo 360 during the Yarn Harlot’s 2006 Knitting Olympics. I made a Booga bag which I carried for a while, until I got tired of digging for things in the bottom.
I should make a lining for it and it might be more useful! I-cord handles also stretch quite a bit! In the future, I will use store-bought handles for bags I intend to use on a daily basis.

ANYWAY, after a couple months, I gave up on Yahoo – it was too difficult for people to find my blog and comment. So I switched to Blogger and my first post was April 17, 2006. It’s amazing how life can change in one year! Last year, we had just been contacted about adopting Baby K and B. was finishing up his college coursework. Today, we are chasing an 8-month around the house and B. is filling out job applications.
Just for fun, here is a picture of my first-ever quilt, finished in 2004. I used a Terry Atkinson pattern called "Lasagna." It's reversible too, with a large piece of the focal fabric (Alexander Henry zoo animals) on the back.
