Check out what I got for Christmas! :D I've been wanting some foam alphabet blocks for far too long but now I finally have 'em!!! And now I can actually block my projects (in an easier, more efficient fashion)!

Last week we got word that my store is closing. I think I'll be ok but I feel so bad about it ending this way. My family's been shopping there forever. And my co-workers...I love 'em like crazy and hate that we're all in the same boat. But it looks like I may have quite a bit of knitting time in the near future.

I also started doing something I've been wanting to do for over a year now. KnittingFool.com has a lot of stitch patterns, and I've been wanting to knit small blocks of various patterns. I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do with them but there was a jacket from Free People that I came across years ago that has inspired me to make something similar. Anywho, these are the ones that I've made so far.
