<\/a><\/center>\nI knit most of this sweater in 2 1\/2 weeks while on holiday, and it’s taken me the 5 days since we got home to knit 6 ruffles and do some seaming. Ah, life!
\nI’ve spent some of this past week ruminating over the past year and thinking about the new one. We had a generally pretty good 2009. No major dramas, a few hiccups, but that’s what life is about, isn’t it? I started a full time course, David started a new job and things flowed along pretty nicely. It was certainly one of the better years for us.
\nIn 2010 there’ll be a few changes for us, a few Big Deal type things. I’ll finish my course and hopefully get a job after being a stay at home mum for almost 9 years. Emily finishes High School towards the end of the year, and to be honest, I’m just trying not to think about that one too much. I’m going to try to just go with the flow with everything and not worry too much about any of it. And that’s kind of a Big Deal for me anyway.
\nWe’ve made a habit over the last four years of spending New Years Eve somewhere different every year. First was Bundaberg, then Las Vegas, Sydney and finally the Gold Coast. That’s something I’d like to continue with every year, so maybe we’ll think about a holiday towards the end of the year.
\nOnwards and Upwards!
\nKnitting wise, I got thinking about resolutions, goals, aims, whatever you’d like to call them. Last year I did the Personal sock club, with a pair of socks a month, and that was pretty successful. I could join the 10 shawls in 2010. Or knit only from stash. Knit a pair of socks from every sock book I own. Aim for at least 6 sweaters. Gift knit, charity knit. There’s a great many respectable knitting resolutions and goals out there. So which one am I going with?
\nNone of ’em. Not a one. This year, I’m going to knit what I want, when I want, with whatever I want, from wherever I want.
\nAnd I’m going to enjoy it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
