Knitted Hats

Contribution by Saul Martin

I got a great new knitting pattern using my Clear internet New Haven and visiting my favorite knitting blog. It gets really cold in here and I decided that I was going to make all of my girlfriends these cute knitted turban hats that I saw on this great blog. The blog is filled with great patterns that you can download for free and even videos about techniques. I have ordered some great colored wool from a fine wool supplier on-line. They wool is merino and in great rich tones. I just can’t decide which friends are going to be getting which colors. I like them all so much, I want to keep them for myself, but I know that I can’t! I think that this year’s Christmas gifts are going to be really unique and that they will really appreciate them. I think that they are also going to really enjoying wearing them because they are so stylish! Maybe I should start making them and selling them on-line. I bet that I could make some money doing it!

New Year

I am hoping this new year will bring a new life along with it. As you all know, ANK has been on a hiatus for almost 2 years now. Yes, that's right 2 years. I'm sure you all think, "She's never coming back!" But, I am.........one day. I do accept customs every now and again but, as for pre-knit items for sale I haven't been able to knit anything in a long time. All of my knitting supplies (minus a few needles) are still in Texas!

And, so with this new year I am hoping that I will be able to get my yarn and needles out of storage and start over. Who knew starting over would be so difficult!! I am quite tired of starting over. Which where my hiatus, in the first place, began.

In September 2010, my family and I moved to Texas after a military stint in Virginia. Never having lived in Texas or knowing anyone but my husband and barely his family, things didn't go as well as planned (of course there's a back story to that and some of you already know). Well, since things didn't go so well there, my daughter and I moved back to my hometown in North Carolina......again, starting over. Things were going SO well (minus having a car) in North Carolina but, something was still missing. Then my world came toppling down on me (please see my fundraiser page at WePay for more info) and my new life was obliterated. So, now I am in the process of moving back to Texas (pending everything in North Carolina goes well). I am just so tired of starting over and I hope that in the next month (and not 3 years) I will be able to make a FINAL restart. I don't know of anyone that's ever gotten this many chances at trying to make life right. I mean, sure in the movies yes.....all the time (12 Days of Christmas, It's a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Carol, Family Man, you get the idea) but, never in real life. I'm just waiting for the day when I wake up from this dream and have my family back and my life is normal again. That was my Christmas wish this past season.......so I'm still waiting on my Christmas wish.

So, check out my WePay page and help that Christmas wish come true!!
