Happy New Year to All

This has been a lovely day of doing not much of anything. I don't often treat myself to lazy days, and then wouldn't you know, I jump up and start writing my blog instead of getting back on the couch with my book and my knitting. So here's the latest knitting stuff:

The Henley Perfected sweater is finished. I even had the perfect buttons in my button box. It's on the basement floor drying right now, so this picture shows it being blocked on a towel. The lace part at the sleeve edges was the most difficult, but after several froggings, I think I got it licked.

I've started a baby blanket for GGS#1 (that's Great-Grandson, expected in May). I know, I'm way too young for this, but both my daughter and I started motherhood early. I think Grandson #1 would want more boy colors in this blanket, but I already had the yarn, so that's what they get. I'll do some blue and colorful sweaters and hats later, and there's a really cute pattern for knitted toddler blue jeans in Knitty.

But other than knitting, I've been watching birds outside, and Honeymooners inside.
