I have come to the conclusion that all you have to do to get it to rain in San Diego is to put your laundry to dry outside. But, we need the rain. Especially since I'm a slacker when it comes to watering my little lettuces growing in my raised beds. Amazingly I have this winter rape and collard greens that I planted about a year and a half ago that's going great, and keeps the bunnies happy.
I finished the back of A Cardigan for Arwen and started one of the fronts. I modified the sleeve length (armed with info I learned in the Sweater Design class at The Grove that I just took)
And finally, a finished object I finished around New Year with some great yarn I picked up at the Bonita Yarn Store before the holidays.
Yarn: Alpaca With A Twist Landscapes (Shimmering Sands)
Pattern: Ribbed Hat (modified for my gauge)
Book: Yarn Girl's Guide to Simple Knits
Needles: US 8
Notes: Don't be lazy like me and do the ribbing in the same size as the rest of the hat. I'm sure it would look a bit better if I'd been able to find some smaller needles ;)

Oh! You are doing much better than I am for Arwen. Have you joined either the KAL blog or Yahoo group yet? I happen to be in both. The hat looks comfy and warm!
