Happy New Year! (a little bit late)

The holidays have come and gone, and we are now well into the new year and back to regular life. I hope your holidays were lovely, and 2011 has been good so far. Do you make resolutions for the new year? I don't really like resolutions, because I never really seem to stick to them for long, but for the last couple years I have made a list of 10-20 things that I hope to accomplish during the year. Some of the things I put on the list are serious, like paying off debt, some are craft or career related, and some are just fun, like finally going sledding or seeing more live theater. I like the lists because I don't have to do everything, and it gives me a lot of different options of things to try and feel like I accomplished something.

Some of the craft related things on my list this year are:
-Finish knitting my shrug- I am nervous about this, its been 8 months since I last worked on it! Not sure if I can figure out where I was in the pattern.
-Knit lots of socks- I have tons of sock yarn stashed, and I just ordered yarn for these Ravenclaw socks!
-Sew myself an item of clothing.
- Make or buy some new accessorizes and accessorize better.

Hopefully all will go well, and I will have lots post of my progress to share. Best of luck in your new adventures this year!
