Finally, it is finished, and even has buttons! I struggled to find nice matching ones, but these simple blue buttons work well. It’s off to it’s intended recipient tomorrow 
I cant get rid of my blog now, can I?
That’s not totally true, they are all fine, fine, finished objects. Worth waiting for, every second. Things didnt exactly go to plan (but when do they?) but nothing a few weeks of recuperating and resting at home wont fix..
Welcome to the world, Matilda Elise Helen!

Isn’t She Lovely? Yes, yes she is!
Happy new year to you! I hope 2010 brings you happiness, love, joy, fun, and success
A new year is always exciting.. so many prospects ahead, so much possibility. A whole set of seasons to work thru and enjoy, and of course, lots of creativity to plan for!
But first, it’s important to look back and reflect.. so here’s my contribution: A year of WIPs and FOs!
And of course, a few frogged items, a few non-starters, and things I just fell out of love with. But still, not a bad year! I also did some sewing, hand-dyeing, and some other new crafty things. Yes, a Flickr mosaic, not exactly original, and I am sure other blogging knitters’ efforts put mine to shame, but hey, I tried!
What are my creative goals for 2010?
* Cook something I’ve never cooked before, once a month. I have so many AMAZING cookbooks, why am I so scared to try things? It’s not like we are fussy eaters! For Christmas N gave me a copy of Food Safari (sbs series book) which really, I have been lusting after even before the thing was written. 180 recipes just waiting for me!
* Expand my sewing horizons. I’m going to be kidnapping my friend Shan for this – she’s a whizz even though she wont admit it.
* Magic loop socks. Why, why why does this intimidate me so? It would increase my sock knitting productivity two-fold!
I could add something sensible like ’spend more time knitting, less time stashing’ but really.. let’s be realistic!
