As I’ve mentioned before – Dh got me a MP3 player for Christmas and I’ve been totally enjoying it! Music, podcasts and audiobooks have made knitting even more enjoyable! I found a new podcast today that I thought others might enjoy too! It’s the Bible in a Year – a bit of the New Testament, a bit of Old Testament and some Psalms and Proverbs to round out the day! Great for those who’ve made a resolution to read through the Bible in 2007!

StoryNory – I found this for my kids – but she’s reading Alice in Wonderland right now so I’m going to be listening too! 🙂

Remember, even if you don’t have an MP3 player – you can listen to these on your computer!

I’ve been knitting away on my Red Scarf and then I’ve got my sweater and lace socks to finish…but that didn’t stop me from casting on (and finishing about 2/3) of a baby sweater last night! It’s so nice to do something so fast! I’ll put pics in my 2007 gallery as soon as it’s done!

My local knitting group has committed to knit for three charities this year – first up is our local Pregnancy Support Group. Thus a baby sweater! I’m loving this pattern – sooo easy! Can’t wait to show you some photos.

Anything else? Well, it is, of course, #1 son’s birthday today – and he, DH and J3 are all back in school. J2 and I are taking a administration day – which means I need a day to catch up and create some lesson plans. Really it’s all done – but I need a day to get back into the groove – clean house, pay bills – all that.
