New Year?

Technically, thanks to our man JC (Julius Cesar), January begins the new calendar year. We’ve entered the future here in 2010. While picking any arbitrary date to start fresh is perfectly ok, I think I am going to start the new year in the spring. So no big changes from me till then, and even then, very likely, no big changes.

In the mean time I have managed to make very slow progress on my Citron shawl. The pattern is a joy, the yarn is a joy, the color… you get the picture. I just haven’t been very speedy. Actually, because it is so simple in some ways I tend to pay less attention and then realize I have messed something up and have to go back! Gah! Soon (as in after participating in the 2010 MIT mystery hunt, since there is no way to knit and solve mind-crushingly difficult puzzles) I will make a renewed effort! I want to have the shawl complete, maybe by the end of February to wear to NYC, and I really need to pick up speed on the afghan again!

The rest of my time has been absorbed by holidays, friends, TV series on DVD, sleeping, Professor Layton and the Curious Village (just recently, and very addictively), and Glee! Have you not seen Glee? Oh the horror! You’ve only missed the first half of the season, which resumes in the spring. Go Catch Up! and thank me later.
