Like having a tomogachi (sp?)

Yeah, time to feed the blog. Time has been zooming by, but I haven't felt like posting. Since you all-1 person-have been patient, I am showing you my latest wips.

This is the back of "form fitting and figure flattering" done in crochet. Look at the top...something has gone awry! My crocheting skills are not what they should be, and I can't figure out how I ended up with so few stitches. Duh! I am going to try and make it work, though...if not r-r-rip.

And another favorite...the gathered cardi from knit1. It's definitely going much better than the crochet project, but I have stalled on sleeve island with that god forsaken seed stitch. I really have to be in the mood to deal with that. I'll give all the details after it's finished.

And what's my blog without a current doggie pic? That's my baby girl. She'll be one in August. I can't believe how big she's gotten. She's a holy terror around my little man, though. you should see the fur fly! happy knitting til next time.

Too Hot

Man, I just don't have the energy to take and upload photos...not that anything is finished. I'm still trying to crank along on the gathered cardi, and it really is coming out quite well. The lower part is what is taking forever! All that stockinette, then the seed stitch border. It may kill me. And let's not forget, I still have both sleeves to do.
My knock off Juliet did not come out as well....how in the world do you convert a lace pattern that is meant to be done from the bottom up to top down?? Any ideas? The fit is perfect. I still need to decide on how I'm going to make the closures...either i cord or crochet. It's sitting in the pile of "come on already. Finish me!"
I decided to check out garnstudio, and what do you know? They already have their fall line up posted...a few spoke to me but nothing wowed me.
Last thought...I am considering "Tomato" for my next project....more LB cotton ease to the rescue!

Time Flies When You're Having Fun

Man, already more than a month since I've posted, but I do have FOs. Two if you can believe that.

First up, the Keyhole Neck Pulloever from Fitted Knits. This was an easy knit if you overlook the fact that the diagram is missing for the neck edging. Luckily, I belong to Ravelry, and I contacted the only other person who has knit this, and she was able to explain it to me. I tried sending Stephanie an email, but I'm sure she's too busy with all she has on her plate. Anyway, here's the details: Start: 3-23-08 Finish: 4-16-08

Knit with size 7 nylon circs with cotton/acrylic yarn from a recycled Worthington sweater. The fit on this is fantastic. Very bodyhugging. Of course I finished it when it's way too hot to wear it, but at least I'll have a new one for this fall. Oh, and my project cost for yarn? $.99.

Next up, the Anthropologie knock off capelet from Craftster. Talk about a super quick knit. I didn't even take notes. I doubled some cheapo Caron Simply soft on size 10 circs and knocked this baby out in 5 days. The fit? Perfect. After reading comments on Craftster, I decided to go with the flow and do the seed stitch borders to prevent the curling, but mine still does a bit.

What's next on the needles....the gathered cardi from summer 2008 of Knit1. I tell you, I'm on a knitting roll.

I've also rediscovered my sewing. Stupid me forgot to take a pic of my latest top, but if I remember, I'll post next time. My next inspiration really started from reading Aprongirl's post about Anthropologie and the thrift stores. Yes, I've done a few knock offs, but somehow her latest post really made an impression. First off, yesterday I ran to Joann's for the 5 for $5.00 Simplicity pattern sale. Then as luck would have it, I ran into Hancock Fabrics and didn't know they were having a McCall's sale for 88 cents! I found one item at the thrift store that will become my next sewing project. This is one of those hideous beach cover ups...I don't know if you can tell, but those are giraffes and antelopes, I think, on the border. I've already ripped it apart, and today she will be cut out and sewn. I thought about posting a pic of the pattern, but I think I'll leave it a surprise!

Oh and if you haven't heard....Lion Brand has introduced a new sock yarn....Sock Ease!!!

Are people still reading this blog?

Evidently, my only reader is Red! Hi, Red! Miss you! Anyway, I do have a FO for your perusal.

This is the short sleeve cardigan with ribbing from Fitted Knits. I started it on 4-2-08 and completed it on 4-15-08. Talk about your quick knits. I fumbled around because I made so many goof ups on this, but the pattern is very straight forward and easy. I used size 10 nylon circs for the body, and size 8 nylon circs for the sleeves. The great part was using up some of the stash yarn I had purchased from the thrift store long ago-it's Brunswick Germantown in Dartmouth Green, and it only took 2.5 skeins. Talk about your budget projects. I definitely give this one a thumbs up for fit, because it really does. Sorry my photo doesn't quite show you those buttons...they're sunflowers. People, it is sooo difficult to find 1" size buttons and none were available in green. Then, if I found a button I liked, they wouldn't have 7 of them. I spent forever at Joann's looking, and settled on these. I didn't even bother to block it, and I wore it to work today since we had such unseasonably cold weather. What's next?

I gotta finish the keyhole neck pullover before it gets too darn hot. It's in a cotton acrylic, but once it really warms up, I'll die in long sleeves. I do have my next project picked out, though. It's gonna have to be another Garnstudio one! Happy knitting to all!

Yet Another FO for 2008

People, I'm on a knitting high! Not one, but now 2 projects off the needles for this year. If this keeps up, I'll be ecstatic by the end of the year.

Project-Knit1 Cabled Mini Jumper

Started-1-21-08 Finished-3-14-08

Lion Brand Wool Ease in Cocoa-3.5 skeins The pattern required 5 skeins, and i bought them, but as you see, I didn't need it all. My only modification was to knit this in the round, size 8 nylon circs-I hate to seam, and I'll admit, my seaming sucks. This was an easy pattern with no errors. It literally was a no brainer. I gotta say, it was a pleasure to knit this. I love the look of cables, and with wool ease, you really get the definition. I know I've said I hate wool ease, but I didn't want to spend a load of $ on this. I'm not sure I'm too cazy about those 1 1/2 inch button monsters, but I'll reserve final judgement after I've worn it.

What's next? Crochet...I figure I'll do a switch up, and hope my crocheting will be successful. I will say I had to go down one hook size from the pattern because my gauge was WAY off...mine measured 22" across instead of 17". Yeah, I would have been furious if I made this too big. Be on the look out for a wip pic!

Another successful Garnstudio pattern finished!!

I'm very excited to report that I actually have another FO for 2008...remember, last year was a total wipeout. Ok, I finished one item. Anyway, here she is in all her glory, and I can't wait to wear it.

Here are the details...Started: 2-9-08 Finished: 3-5-08

I used size 4 addi turbos, and it took 7 3/4 balls of a vintage yarn I purchased at the thrift store a few years ago. (Berger du Nord ecosse #5). You can click the image to get a better look at the center motif. Those drops patterns are great to use. There were no errors, and it was a straight forward pattern. Ya gotta love that.

I've decided to try my hand at some more yarn recycling, and here's a pic of the sweater that's almost completely ripped out. It was a Worthington xl pullover made from cotton/acrylic yarn. I paid $3.63 for it, and now I'm trying to decide what pattern to use.

In other news, I'm almost done with the knit 1 cable tunic and I'm also working on another Anthropologie knock off. Oh, and it's true. I'm on Ravelry now. Yea!!! I can't believe I waited so long. Love it!!

Vacation Begins today...

and I'm back with more of my insanity. In my last post, I mentioned an OLD wip.

This is an afghan I started in 1994 for a friend of mine who moved into an apartment complex very close to where I lived. I had such grand ideas of finishing this in no time flat to surprise her with this housewarming gift. Ha!! never happened. This ghan has 20 repeats of a 20 row pattern, and the pattern is wrong, too. Uh...I've only done 6 repeats. I used to tell myself that if I could do 2 rows a day I could finish it in (insert number of days--since I'm too lazy these days to do the math). Ok, so now it's 2008. Wonder how much longer it will be a wip? I hate to tell you, but this isn't my oldest wip. Wonder who could have the record for the oldest wip? That would be neat to know.

I've since stopped the knit1 tunic, and started something else...remember my bit about inspiration. I'm a lot further along than this, but I wanted to show how much yarn I've got since I may run out. BTW, this is yarn I found at a thrift store in 2004. The addis are new, however. When you knit continental, do your shoulders hurt? I also have like carpal tunnel in my right palm. When I knit english, I get horrible tendonitis in my right elbow. A lot of my pain is exacerbated by metal needles, but I didn't have any #4's in nylon.

And again, a doggie pic...my baby girl is getting spayed on Monday, thus the vacation. I want to be able to be at her disposal since she's such a "wittle" thing. I'm hoping to accomplish more knitting and some sewing. I did a little pre-vacation sewing..namely, repair work. The baby dog is a chewer, and completely torn up her doggie bed. I replaced the bottom with thrift store fabric, and it came out quite good if I do say so myself. She also destroyed a pillow case for a body pillow, so I made a new one out of an old sheet-this I've done before. I have more repair work lying around, and some alteration stuff. Yuck. I hate being short.

Holy time warp, Batman!

Yes, it's unbelievable that I completely missed January, but since I am FO posting, I feel it somehow balances out everything.

Now, better late than never-I actually wrapped up 2007 with a project completed on 12-31. It's been done before, but not by me until now! Spicy fitted tee from Fitted Knits. When I started this, I obviously lost my mind, and couldn't understand the directions. It came out huge. After 3 froggings from the underarm, I was able to make it work for me. I would venture to guess that this was started around summer of 2007, and finished on the last day of the year. It sat in my knitting bag being punished for being such a difficult wench. I knit it on size 10 nylon circs with what i think was 8-9 balls of now discontinued Lion Brand 'Kool Wool". It fits like a glove and I love it...except for one small thing...the garter stitch hem rolls! I hate that!

And since I was so pleased with myself at finishing that, I started the puff sleeve cardi from the same book!! Ah...the explanation was so clear to me now...I still can't figure out why I had the total meltdown to start with. Anyway, here she is...the sweater-not the puppy!!!

Start date-12-31-07

Completed-1-20-08

Knit with Reynolds "Tucson", 7 balls.....size 6 cnylon circs-thank you , Cindy!- I was really cranking on this and just knitted away night after night...completely clueless...IT"S TOO FRICKIN" HUGE!!!!!!!! I lost my mind when I tried it on...why, oh, why, hadn't I measured the gauge????!!!!!! It will be visiting the frog pond when I have the heart and strength to rip it out. And, if that wasn't enough, I found a cutie on the garnstudio site, I immediately cast on for it, only to discover that no yarn and no size needle in my stash would work...again, too big! My mojo is so off....

What does a knitter do? Not stand defeated...I cast on for another project in the queue..the Knit1 tunic from fall 2007. The downside is that like a fool I decided to go ahead and use LB 'Wool-ease". That stuff pills like a mother, but I'm running with it...(uh..it wasn't even stash yarn, but since it was cheap...I cheated) Here's a WIP photo for ya..My only mod is to do it on circs since I hate seaming, and quite frankly, my seaming looks like dog doo. Anyhoo, it's zipping along, and my mojo, although squashed, has rebounded. Once this is completed, it'll be a heyday to see what I do next. I will say, that I know this about myself, I absolutely have to be inspired to take a project to completion. Next time I will show you one of the oldest wips that suddenly inspired me again!

The After, After Christmas Aftermath

Lots has happened since my last post and it's doubtful I will remember everything, but here's what's been happening...dh decided to change out my computer for his old one since now he's on his third. I wasn't up and running as fast as I would have liked to have been, but oh well...I also had an early Christmas sleepover at Red's and we partied down by seeing Da Man!! We gorged on food and dvds, and managed to slip in a bit of yarn shopping for moi. The doggies had to have their annual vet visit, and now my baby girl is able to go for a walk like a real pup. She'd rather chew her leash than use it.

As far as Christmas week...besides working grueling hours at the dungeon(my name for work), I decided to stop all work and try to finish an old one. About a year ago, I started the spicy fitted tee from Fitted Knits. After placing the sleeves on scrap yarn and working a few rounds, my stitch count was way over than what the pattern said. I took it to knitting group, and no answers there. After a year of vegetating, I kept staring at it thinking I should finish the damn thing. I knitted in every spare moment I had, and when I bound off I felt a sense of accomplishment. I tried it on, and .....TOO BIG!!! R-R-Rip!!! And since I was in the ripping mode, I tore up 2 other projects for good measure. Where does the spicy fitted tee stand now? I did a few adjustments on a whim and I'm close to the bind off on the body. Cross your fingers that it will fit....More on that next time. See, I'm leaving you in suspense...Ha!

BTW, here's a gratuitous doggie photo for your enjoyment. See how big she's getting?

The Latest Rebecca

Wow! I got the newest Rebecca and fell in love with the dresses. As you see, I'm still on a high after completing the Drops tunic/dress. I have got to stop this project meandering! I keep seeing things I want to knit, but then I don't ever finish anything! Arghh!
Today I decided to update a few of my links because the gals I added blog pretty much daily, and I find their work amazing....
Also, today is knitting group, but alas, I can't make it (again!). Today is dh's birthday and I think I see a seafood dinner celebration in my future.
Now, on concert news....Last month I had the pleasure of seeing one of my all time fave bands perform...REO Speedwagon. That Kevin Cronin can really belt it out after all these years...and ya know what else??? Got my tickets for Bon Jovi!!!!!!
Probably will have several days when I won't get a chance to blog-damn retail schedule----but I wanted to stop in and say "Have a Happy Thanksgiving"!

Will Wonders Never Cease??? It's a FO!

I meant to post this last week but never had the chance. Here she is in all her glory!

Project: Garnstudio Drops Design 96-9

Start Date: End of Sept (?)

End Date: 11-6-2007

Needles Used: Vintage Nylon Circulars #9, #9 aluminum straights for sleeves

Yarn: Caron Simply Soft in Country Blue (doubled)

Project Notes: First off, I want to say that this was an easy project, and Garnstudio did a great job with the instructions. You might remember from an earlier post that I had problems with the chart...evidently, it's meant to be read from left to right, not right to left, which was what I had done wrong originally. The sleeves were to be done on dpns, but I have to admit that I have dpn fear, thus the straights. I got gauge with the Simply Soft doubled. I figured since it's a work item, I wouldn't invest a ton of money on the recommended alpaca---probably would easily have been over $300.00 clams. I made the second size, and the fit is fantastic.

I opted to omit the bobbles on the back since I certainly don't need to appear any larger on the backside. The new baby got in the photo and decided the dress was her new blankie.

It may be awhile before I have another FO, but I'm so pleased with this one because it's boosted my knitting mojo. Happy knitting to all!

It's been hectic around here...

I know it's been a long time, but really...I have been busy! And I have tried to spend some time knitting, I promise. First of all, you may remember from my last post that I was working on the Garnstudio tunic...here's a pic to show you some progress.

That's about 27" , and as you see, I'm past the armholes. But then, I lost interest. Very typical of me. So, I started another project. Yeah, startitis should be my first name.

Everyone has seen it and done it, but I hadn't...I love the Central Park Hoodie and there's even a kal...which I haven't joined, but think I will. Everyone's hoodies looked so great, I just couldn't resist. My only concern with this is that everyone has cautioned about the sizing, and when I look at it, I think it still looks too small for me...meaning, that it will fit too closely, and I envisioned it being more roomy. We shall see.

Now I saved the best for last. Pictures speak a thousand words, right? Well, here's the reason I can't get anything done....It's my new baby girl!!! Hey, don't look at the horribly scary human in the background! Am I excused for not blogging sooner? I hope so. She takes up alot of spare time, let me tell you. And between you and me, if I have to pick knitting or playing with pups, the furry beasts win out every time!

Knitting Is A Labor

....supposedly of love. Ha! Not these last few months it hasn't. I actually finished knitting the vintage sweater I had started about 2 years ago. Unbelievable, right? Well, the sleeve caps are smaller than the armhole and it will require some doing if you know what I mean. So, that's project #1 that has me mad. I figure that I'll use up some of the stash and start #2...Twinkle cardi from VK...things were really cranking along on this baby. When I tried it on, the top is smaller than I thought it would be, and the bottom portion done in the chevron pattern is huge!!! So now project #2 has me good and mad. What do you do?

Start project #3....tunic from garnstudio...I really was lovin' this, and got about 8 inches done when I noticed the waving cables on either side were wrong. Wanna see? Yeah, it sucks. So, I went back to the website, rechecked the chart and the directions. No, I wrote it all out longhand, but it was right. This little conundrum bothered me for 2 days. I recently received my latest copy of Rebecca and decided that maybe that cable chart there was better. See, the tunic from garnstudio is almost like the one in Rebecca. Yep...the chart on the website is backward from the explanation. Do I hear r-r-r-i-i-pp? Sad to say, I did. All that work for nada. Good thing today is Labor Day, because that's what I've got ahead of me.

P.S. Did I mention that I actually got gauge, too?

Secret Project Revealed

First off, sorry about the layout on the last post. Still trying to figure out blogger. Anyway, I finally finished my secret project, and I hope you like it as much as I do.

On June 5th, I happened to be off and caught General Hospital. Elizabeth was wearing a cropped cardi in green that literally revved my creative juices. I then went to my fave clothing website, Anthropologie, and lo and behold there she was! Now, i don't know about you, but I can't afford to spend $88.00 on a sweater even if it is adorable. The next best thing is to make your own-which I did.. I went to the thrift store and found this sweater, albeit a bit scroungy, and ran home and washed it. (Happy to say that all the stains came out!) Next came the motif research, and I found this....http://www.patchworkcrochet.com/doilies.htm.

I furiously went about crocheting the wheels...I was on a mission! I used vintage thread that I bought on a previous thrift store outing. Here's her unveiling..and the best part? Only cost me $2.00. I think I'll wear her to work today. BTW, this is my 3rd Anthropologie knock off. Gosh, I love their clothing!

Crochet is for summertime

I promised an update with pics, and so you shall have it. Last month was killer for me. I got to see concerts at a local amusement park. First it was kicked off with Da Man!

A fantastic show and I got some good pics for a change...sure does help to sit close...I've noticed this camera refuses to function at night events. Oh sure, you can take pics, but it's a waste of time. Found that out last year. Anyway, then a couple weeks later I saw Three Dog Night-without Chuck Negron. A web search revealed he's gone out on his own. The remaining two "dogs" really belted out the old tunes, and I wish they would have played longer. Tonight I'm going to see KC and the Sunshine Band. Yeah, I'm old school when it comes to my musical taste.

On the knitting front, it's been silent. I gave up on Japel's Spicey Tee, and the VK lace cardi. Just couldn't get motivated. However, I did want to post a picture of what my parents brought me back from CA. After reading about the Prince of Knitting, I was fixated on getting some of his pattern books. My mom and sis finally found 3 at the Kinokuniya Bookstore. Yes, the instructions are in Japanese, and no I don't read Japanese. Thankfully, my mom can translate for me.

Crochet you say? Yep...that's the name of the game for me right now...here's a work in progress of Rowan's Joy. Sorry for the crappy photo...the stupid thing kept curling...definitely will need blocking. That's the back and the left front. My only concern at this point is whether it will actually fit around the neck. I've ripped out the neck twice since I wasn't getting the dratted gauge, but you know, that's always my downfall. However, this has become interrupted because I found a new secret project to begin, and it involves this.....I've got to make 16 of these suckers, and I'm already worn out. But I'll remain diligent because I think the end product will be worth it.

Lastly, I wanted to share a few of my most favorite thrift store finds. On Wednesdays, it's 50% off everything, and I ran across these 2 sets of cross stitched pillow cases. I fell in love! They had never been used, and they were only .50 cents a piece. I have been searching for vintage embroidered pillowcases forever, and could never find any. But, these will do just fine. My first craft I really become obsessed with was embroidery, and a childhood friend and I used to sit on her porch in the summertime and embroider dresser scarves and pillowcases. It's a shame someone thought so little of this person's work to donate them to the thrift store like some unwanted trash. Oh well...one man's trash is another man's treasure!

No Picture Friday

Very inventive title, no? I've been meaning to blog and do have pics to show, but currently am feeling under the weather. Twice a year I can look forward to a sinus infection. I have the energy of a turtle.
I went to knitting group on Wednesday night and had to call it quits early. That really bummed me out since it's the group that only meets once a month. Anyway, just thought I'd let everyone know that I am currently crocheting "Joy" from Rowan Spring/ Summer 2007. I'm only on the back, but it's great for mindless crochet, and allows you to chat in a group and not lose your concentration. I am inspired to do crochet when I visit a super knitter/crocheter blog's like this... http://myknittinworld.blogspot.com/. This gal is amazing!
Have you seen the latest Knit 1? The dress is beautiful! I would love to make it, but there are no craft stores around here that carry LB organic cotton, and I would like to see this yarn in person before I made a purchase.

I Must Have a Thing for Stars

I thought I'd share one of my secret passions...I love quilts. Back in the '80's, I use to watch public television so I could catch Georgia Bonesteel making lap quilts. I have 2 of her books...alas, I am not a skilled or talented quilt artisan. As you may also remember, I love to go to thrift stores. All I can say is Eureka!!! I scored !

This first one was in a bad state, and I spent 4 hours painstakingly sewing up all the tears, but when hubby saw it, he fell in love. The original price was more than I wanted to spend on something so tattered, so I waited til half off day, and snatched it up as a surprise for him. This one matches our decor perfectly.

This second one, unfortunately, had to be repaired, too. I love the colors and thought I could use it as my tv watching blankie. It has that whole denimish chambray thing going for it.

This last one I had to have! It is handmade, as was the first one, and it is in perfect condition! No stains or anything. Uh...I paid $4.60 for it. Yes, score! You may notice that someone else is in the photo. You try taking photos of quilts when your Maltese wants to play ball!

And then, this is for everyone who probably thinks I don't knit anymore...a finished back of the VK lace cardi. This sucker has been something else as far as gauge goes...I surfed around, and no one else has had a problem...anyway, I am knitting the largest size and am now afraid it might be too sloppy. If I have to reknit the back I will scream, so stand by to cover your ears.

Have you tried the new Diet Coke Plus? It's the one with vitamins added. The flavor was too similar to Pepsi for me...Coke, you gotta stick to the original recipe for DC...we all remember the fiasco with New Coke, now don't we?

Yep...I've got the goods!

I've been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the "new" LB Cotton Ease...FINALLY, Michael's got it and I couldn't wait another millisecond to get it! I bought Berry, Violet, and Terracotta. Next time, there'll be more !

Yes, It's Really Me...

Sorry to say there are no pics, but there will be. My excuse? Work, work, work...yuck! I knit when I can and am frustrated that I haven't finished anything. I am currently knitting the Spicey Tee from Stephanie Japel's book, Fitted Knits. I love her patterns, but I must say, I must be a dummy. I have ripped this sucker 4 times, and I still have way too many stitches. In checking for errata, there's nothing there. The folks in the KAL haven't discussed this one, so I can only conclude that it's the knitter and not the pattern. Yikes!
I do have some new stuff to share, but again, I want to show it in pics. My Little Man is doing well...translation? He still bites and barks, but he's so darn cute you overlook it. I'll have to post a new pic of him, too.
The Patons pattern I was working on is about three quarters of the way done, but I don't have progress pics. After the Spicey Tee, I may crochet something from the latest Rowan book. As I like to say....it's always something.

Happy Knitting New Year!

Well, I don't know about you, but New Year's (as I've gotten older...ahem) has been considered "amateur night" around here. What do I mean? Well, it's a time when some people feel it's ok to get totally stinking drunk, and perhaps drive. I like to stay at home and get into my "toys". And quite frankly, it's some time off from the retail hell in which I work.

I finally got a chance to visit my LYS, and do sit and night. People, it's been months...and after feeling the knitting vibes, it put me into action. I think it's just what the doctor ordered as I've been in a crazy slump. Even though I have returned to work and have some cash to buy, I'm not. I figure I've been heavily stashing for 3 years, and I just better make do. So, what have I cast aside to start?? As you may remember, I was working on my second go round of the RPM socks, and they are the right size now....I'm on the toe decreases of sock #1..but like I said, after being with my lovely knitting friends, I got the itch to start something new... It's the "Must Have Cardigan". I love this pattern! I decided to use Plymouth Encore since I can't bear to wear wool....my first attempt was WAY too small...so I started again. Too bad I got so excited that I misread the pattern...as you know, it's called a new design element. If you look closely at the left side (panel a), you'll see that I forgot to cross the cable. Live and learn....and no, there won't be ripping since there's a good 6 inches there and my time is so limited.


I would like to address Michele who left a comment on my last post. (I love comments) I love to take pictures of my new pup, and various and sundry things, but I have this phobia about sharing too much personal info on the net. So, he shall just remain to be My Little Man...aka MLM...and here's a new one for ya cause he likes to have his pic taken... (truly he loves the attention, and doesn't care too much about my knitting projects...when he sees me get it out, he likes to chew the yarn. Bad Boy!) That's it for now, but I promise to be better for 2007...ok, I'll try. Oops! One last knitterly piece of business...every year I keep saying I'm going to make a list of the new things I have learned, and I never do it...(slacker!)..this year is pretty pathetic...the only new skill I learned was the long tail cast on--Thank you, Roz!
Everbody have a a great New Year!!!
