Happy New Year!!

2010 has most definately been my starting-to-knit-year, after finishing my first project in about 15 years (baby blanket for my niece) in May, I've gone on to knit the following:

• 3 pairs of socks (2 for me and 1 as a gift)
• 1 scarf
• 2 baby hats
• 1 phone sock
• 1 pair of baby bootees
• 1 hat and pair of matching fingerless gloves

That doesn't seem a lot but I've always had something on the go.  In 2011 I would like to knit my first peice of clothing, a cardigan for my niece and a cardigan for me (as well as lots of socks and scarves).

Speaking of New Years Resolutions, here's how I did on this years:

1. Weekly facial - FAIL
2. Finish what I start - PASS (if you don't count buying wool and then not knitting anything with it yet)
3. De-clutter - PASS (I have thrown out lots and tried to use stuff up before buying more - not wool though)

Not bad.

Next years resolutions are:

1. Start cycling and running again.
2. Learn toe-up socks
3. Read more books
4. Watch less TV
5. Be more sociable
6. Eat more healthily

I have high hopes that this time next year I will have acheieved all of them :-)

Highlights of my 2010 have been:

• Gaining a niece - Isobel Skye born in May and still as cute as ever
• Still living happily with Pete - Our 3 year anniversary is looming in Feb and I'm still as happy as ever :-)
• Starting a counselling course - Could be a new career for me, if I can get the coursework finished

There must be more but I can't think of them.

I hope everyone has a great night tonight, I'll be snuggling up with Pete and toasting the New Year in with a lovely bottle of wine I have stashed in the fridge.  I hope 2011 will bring more joy and happiness!
