FO’s of 2008 (with admitted fudging)

This time last year, with a paltry eleven FO’s for 2007, I made the following statement regarding goals for 2008–

I have no knitting goals for 2008. Well, actually, I have one–a combined knitting, spinning, exercise, weight loss, health, decluttering, and everything else goal–to get a goddamn divorce already. That would be nice.

Not only did said divorce (finally) come through, but I also managed to start knitting and spinning again. Even better, I met a terrific guy that is making 2009 even better than I hoped. Lucky, lucky me.

So, with minimum hoopla, I present the FO’s of 2008, in all their glory:

Rhinebeck 2008

I should be making soap but I have to get just a couple of pictures up before October is over. Rhinebeck was a mind-boggling event and SO MUCH FUN that I’m feeling just a bit depressed that it’s over.

Friday night I had dinner with Norma, Sandy, Ruby, Barbara, and Leigh at the famous Eveready Diner in Hyde Park, NY.

Saturday morning dawned cold and crisp as Michaele and I browsed the Dutchess County Fairgrounds. In Utah, they’re misnamed “scones,” but in Rhinebeck they call it what it is — fried dough.

Like everyone else, I took few photos of Rhinebeck and the friends gathered there—I don’t know what the problem was. Probably just overwhelmed. I’ll get a few more photos up soon.

Sorry to be such a slacker lately. I’ve been preoccupied lately with a new friend. Hi, CB ;)
