Happy New Year!

 I can't really say I have any New Year's resolutions this year.  Instead, I am simply looking forward to what 2010 might bring.  Of course, the New Year is always a time for reflecting on the work I can do to be healthier, happier, and hopefully a little wiser.  And there is always room for improvement in those areas.  I just know that I'm already working on it, and that those changes tend to evolve as opposed to happening overnight.  In that vein, I hope to do more of what my family and I already started in 2009:  organize and simplify our daily lives, exercise more, eat out of the garden as much as possible, take care of each other, and give a little back to our extended community where and when we can do so.
   On the knitting front, the same is true.  I started this blog with the goal of finishing up items I'd already started.  It feels like slow going sometimes but I'm making progress.  On that note, I am happy to say that the with a few hours to go in 2009, I finished up the collar on my lace pullover so that I can check one more item off the list.  Here is a sneak preview:

Don't you just love that Malabrigo yarn?  More about that tomorrow......
For now, I just want to pass on my wishes for peace, health, and joy for you and yours in 2010!
