The presents have all been opened, the decorations have been packed away, and we are all back to work.  William likes his new Candy Corn Hat his Nana (DK) made for him. 

Looking ahead to 2008, we have already booked our calendar full of travels and other fun stuff through June.  The first change of the year to take place here at Nautical Knitter Designs is the opening of the new web site: KnitWith.us.  The new site offers pod-casts, videos, the largest knitter’s blog-roll, technical posts, links to the latest knit a longs, and so much more.  Stop by for a peek and let us know what you think. 

The Nautical Knitter blog will still be up and running, but will be more tuned to family happenings and personal knitting projects. I hope you will continue to read my blog and throw me a little encouragement every once in a while when the design muse hides from me or the projects just don’t seem to be flowing.  I love reading your comments and hearing what you are all up to out there.

I am working on a post for the new site on substituting yarns (including different weights) in knitting projects that I think you will be interested in.  Additionally, I have three new books to review, so please stay tuned for those as well.

The Secret of the Stole II KAL begins in just 15 days and we are so excited to begin and share this new pattern with you all.  If you have joined, get your needles ready it is going to be a fun ride.  If you haven’t joined yet, please do.  We are waiting for you.
