Here is an ornament stocking that I made from a pattern sent to me by my friend in Texas...sorry that its sideways....tilt the head =) Its not perfect by any means, but I'm happy with it! My knitting skills are slowly progressing. I used some Carmencita Acrylic Yarn that Mimi sent me a while back when I placed an order for thread from her!
Here is a picture of my wonderful present prize from Yasmin..... apologies for the bad color - the pictures are taken on my cell phone. The Doily is a wonderful purple color!!
That is all for now. I've been working more on my youngest niece's baby blanket....she just might get it as her first birthday present in July! I am not quite half done. I am using the Fanned Feather Afghan for Baby pattern and I've done about 10 repeats out of a needed 25 or so! I'm going to try to finish at least one repeat a week until I go home in July.....that calculates to 18 additional repeats....perfect!
I am setting a few goals for my upcoming months crocheting......finishing at least one doily a month (already behind with no February) buying no new patterns until July, finishing at least one new pattern a month from a book I already own, finishing all of my WIPs, writing 4 new patterns in 2007. Is it all possible...I don't know, but at least having some goals might push me in the right direction with my crafting!

Those really are some lofty goals! I wish you the best of luck! Can't wait to see what patterns you come up with...
The dragon and stocking are both adorable. Was the dragon hard? I've been thinking of trying my hand at it. My chinese zodiak is the dragon and I have always been fascinated with them. Maybe if it goes well I'll make a couple for my nephews. hehe.
Charzon is soooo cute!!!
Kimberly, that dragon is adorable!
The knitted stocking is cute, and I find that tilting my head is good exercise ;) I'm so glad you were able to use my acrylic yarn, and your knitting is really good!
I hope you can take it easy on the work, have more time to crochet and have more fun ;)
The dragon and stocking are so cute, you did a great job.
Try not to work too hard, those Europeans never let up, it seems!
BTW, the word verification thingy reads "kkzag", which for some reasons makes me giggle...must be the 'zag' part, huh?
Very Nice Blog !

Kimberly~ I was just passing through when I noticed the little stocking ornament on your page. I do a christmas ornament exchange with all my high school girl friends and I'm always looking for new ideas. I'm new to knitting but I think I could handle the stocking. Is there anyway I could get the directions for the stocking from you? Please drop me a line: asknetter1970 at aol dot com
