Happy New Year

So my New Year's Eve wasn't very eventful- I was in bed by 11pm- but I did get a chance to knit a bit New Year's Day.

All I can think about when I knit these socks is how much I hated to color when I bought it (it was meant for socks for my MIL) but now it is really growing on me. It is Tropical Sunrise from Knitpicks and is now discontinued. The stranded pattern seems to be preventing any pooling, at least for now. They are on the smaller side but a good blocking should make them perfect.

The throw is coming along too. I am realizing, thought, that I am getting old and can only knit the fuzzy yarn sections under really bright light. 33 is great, isn't it?

I saw Dreamgirls this weekend and it was good. Jennifer Hudson is great. It was the first time I have been to a movie where people start clapping half-way through. Yes, it was after her big song but I was still in awe. If you like musicals and everyone knows I do, then you should check it out.
