What a beautiful list, Laurie. I see you started over in your counting and I was contemplating doing the same. I may go back and renumber. This was such a blessing last year and I pray I will be more faithful this year with it. Such JOY in your post this week and such inspiration……

Good to hear from you Rebecca. Yes, last year got a little out of balance and I had to scale back on something due to having an art show at my home most of Nov & Dec. It feels good to out taking pictures again and counting. I keep up with your postings…I can’t believe how much you can knit in one year!
