2009?

So will 2009 be the year I actually get my act together and take the blog a little bit more seriously? By which I mean continue to post facetious and outlandish material, but on a more regular basis? We shall see. I'm certainly going to try.

Anyway, here is my last Finished Object of 2008. Considering I'm apparently getting more and more neurotic as I reach the age of 30, it's quite fitting that lace knitting completely absorbs and obsesses me almost to the brink of madness. Even at 3am after a bottle of wine, I am telling myself not to stop until I have 328 stitches on my awesome Addi Lace needles. Some might say I need to get out more, but I go out all the time!



I finally made a Swallowtail Shawl (ravelry link). I used Handmaiden Yarns Mini Maiden, which is a glorious wool/silk fingering weight blend in Indian Summer colourway with 3.5mm Addi Lace needles.



delightful!

resolutions

I love a good list, particularly one filled with unrealistic goals. So without further ado, here are my Resolutions for 2008:

• stick to budget. Aim to have $3K saved by the end of the year in the African Holiday Fund
• continue yoga at least once a week, but without turning into a "yoghurt fancier"
  
• get rid of some unwanted stuff on eBay or Freecycle it. It's all about minimalism folks!
• knit up all the yarn I have lying around before buying any more. See above re minimalism.
• get knitting articles/designs published. Work on knitting book.
  
• visit more lighthouses
• drink more cocktails and less beer
  
• procrastinate less (hahahahhahahhahahahhah)
  
• blog more than once a month
  
• continue being hot
• bring Vincent Price back from the dead
