Projects to start/restart and/or finish in January....

I was going through my WIP and Frogged items that I had on Ravelry... I'm thinking come January I'm going to get them finished, or restart where I need to.










  










I started this baby blanket, and it's just been put aside.. I've done it in a multi coloured blue/beige/brown/cream, basketweave 12x12 squares.  A friend of mine is due in April, she is having a little boy, so I thought this would be prefect..

--------------------------------------------------------

I thought I'd attempt my very first sweater.. I'm doing one of those nordic sweater that was really popular back in the 80's and 90's.  A friend at work gave me this great pattern book, very retro!  I photo copied a few of the patterns to try out.  I'm using a dark navy blue, with pale blue and cream accents.  I'll post some progress photos as I go along.. so far this is what I've got!

























--------------------------------

I started the 'Darkside Cowl' that I found on Ravelry, but I think it's a bit too small... I'm going to take it out and restart it and add a few rows to make it a bit looser. 












I've really got to learn to finish projects lol.

Book Tour: Bring Me Back by Karen Booth

I’m Karen, a Midwestern girl transplanted in the South, raised on 80s music, Judy Blume, and the films of John Hughes. An early preoccupation with Rock ‘n’ Roll led me to spend my twenties working my way from intern to executive in the music industry. Much of my writing revolves around the world of backstage passes and band dynamics. My first full-length novel, “Bring Me Back”, is a story I had in my head for nearly eight years before my fingers hit the keyboard. Sleeping and eating quickly became a luxury, a plan I have since dubbed the Writer’s Diet. I channeled teenage memories of plastering my walls with posters to weave the tale of music journalist, Claire Abby, and the dreamy British rock-star crush of her youth, Christopher Penman. “Bring Me Back” is a work of women’s fiction, published by Turquoise Morning Press. When I’m not creating fictional musicians, I’m listening to everything from old-school Cheap Trick to Duran Duran to Superchunk with my kids, honing my Southern
