Jess has started on her Zig Zag - looks great so far! She also dyed up some yarn this week that is so pretty!
Sherrill has some lovely new sock yarn and the cutest needle holder!
Theresa has been crazy busy! She finished up a hat (her knitting olympics swatch), Winter Folly, her 90th(!!!!!) pair of socks, and started on Am Kamin! Whew, I'm tired just typing that!
Tara finished up a gorgeous Noro cardi, is working away on her Jaywalkers and is casting on for her Olympic cardi!
Chris finished *another* lace project! This time it's Ella, and it's beautiful! She is on a knitting tear!
Laura has started some beautiful stranded mittens!
Erica celebrated her blogiversary this week! And she has pictures of an oh-so-cute buttonhole bag!
E is on vacation, and she didn't take us!
Julie has cast on her Olympic knitting as well!

Oh, and I think that shot of my pattern caused some confusion - I'm making the hat, but it sure does look like a mitten on that chart!
Thanks for all the sweet blogiversary wishes! I hope to be around for a long time to come!
Awesome job on the sock and colorwork! I love the yarn you're using for your socks (Is that the Trekking?)- it looks so soft and the colorway is gorgeous. So impressed with all the colorwork, too! You and Laura have me very tempted! ;-) Thanks for the KAL update and take care! :-)
