A blank canvas is always exciting, isn't it? A fresh sheet of paper waiting to be scribbled on, a new ball of yarn waiting to be knit, a whole new 365.25 days waiting to take us to new places.
I have more intentions this year as I try to continue to discard the perfectionism and bad habits I sometimes succumb to. As far as knitting goes, this is what I plan.
-Learn the differences between Fair Isle, Intarsia, and attempt the dreaded "Steek".
-Delve further into dyeing my own roving.
-Socks. Lots of them.
-Practice spinning. Learn a range of techniques.
-Knit a sweater that fits, designed for me by me.
Last year I only intended to learn how to knit. It's hard to believe I've been at this for a short several months and have come as far as I have. Most credit is due to my friends, and the inspiration of the online knitting/spinning community.
I am eager to see where this year takes us.
Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, tardface.
I haven't looked at that damned sock since I left your house. I don't have crochet hooks or anything, and I just know some kind of pure BAD will go down if I don't have it.
Had a great time hanging out at your place with the minions. You were right - we DO need to converge at a common place, or I need to visit more. For now, I'll stick with the latter. How's that for a New Year's resolution?
It's a perfect resolution.
Don't fear your sock or the powers of rock.
