Wow I sure am glad that 2007 is now behind us. Don't get me wrong it was a great year with all the wedding planning, the wedding and the honeymoon but that last part which was December was a real doozy.
We had a rough December around our house. It started with car problems (flat tire) then with Hubby's work accident (he's fine) and then the big one -- I hit a deer on the way to work Wed. after Christmas.
Hubby cut his leg with the chainsaw at work the Thursday before Christmas but he is fine and well now. He only had 7 stitches and they have been removed and now the outside just needs to finish healing up.
On my way to work Dec 26 -- I was going in early to make up some time from Christmas Eve since we didn't work and we didn't get paid for that day. Well much to my surprise a deer ran out in front of me and needless to say we collided. It killed the deer on impact as well as my car (busted radiator) but I thankfully was not hurt. Now we are just waiting for the body shop to open so that we can get an estimate and get the KIA fixed.
I have started on my Nana's birthday gloves -- they will be a pair of Dashing since she loved the ones I had made for hubby. I had to frog them on the first attempt because I totally had a spacey moment and forgot to do the ribbing and it was all in stockenette. I have gotten back to where I was on them now and hopefully I will have them done after next week.
I will most likely still make her the ones from the Simply Soft website just not for her birthday.

- Knit Nana's birthday gloves
- Knit one sock (and have its mate done by end of Feb)
- Finish Quant #2 (I think that will be a Christmas present not sure at this time)
- Get to 50% on Randy's Danica Scarf
My next Purlin' Peaches meeting is on Jan 12 and I can't wait to see all the ladies again. I think we will have new members joining us too.
Thankfuls:
- I'm thankful I have a warm bed to sleep in at night (it supposed to get down to 19 F tonight).
- I'm thankful for being owned by a cat; Thomas could have chosen to love anyone but he chose me.
- I'm thankful for teaching myself how to knit socks even though I haven't completed a pair yet.

My Goodness, it's a miracle you both survived the last couple of weeks, what with your run-ins with chainsaws and wild animals.
