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!
