I am not a fisherwoman, nor do I like live fish. The only way I like fish is unrecognizable on my plate, with a twist of lemon! So I hope you'll be amused by the fishing props I was able to dig out of our stuff.

This is my first FO of 2007, and frankly my first FO in quite awhile! Dad is turning 60 next month, and I'm turning 28! I'm a shameless Daddy's girl, still. Here's my dad showing off a fish he caught in the creepy created ponds in our subdivision. Every few years he packs my mother onto a float plane and goes to the most desolate place in Canada he can find. My poor mom.

Specs:

Pattern: My own, stitch pattern from Sensational Knitted Socks
Yarn: Donegal Tweed, leftover from Omar's Irish Creel <1 skein
Needles: Clover Takumi DPNS, size 4

My parents are going to be staying with us for a week in February, so I will be able to give him these in person.

Omar update: He has embarked on a secret project of his own. Only our knitting group knows for sure!
Also, he found a scarf pattern thanks to our secret knitting weapon! We bought the Lacey Lamb on Saturday.

Also on Saturday, we got to meet up with Tipper and her mom for some knitting time at TYF. Fun! It was great to meet her, she is talented and I know her babe's going to be the best dressed one in Minnesota.

Now if we could only catch up with the illusive Illanna! I think we missed her by a hair's breadth on New Year's Day. (I had to stop and think...a hare's breath? a wheezing bunny?) Everyone assures us she exists, despite seeming too adorable to be true.

I haven't decided what is next for me besides the secret project. I just want to bask in my FOglow.
