Last post of the year

A Christmas round-up and resolutions post in one.

We had a relatively quiet Christmas. I tried very hard not to overdo it and try to make a million different things to eat, but somehow it ended up being seven people for dinner and me producing a mountain of food. Then Rose proceeded to cry throughout the meal, meaning we ended up eating in shifts, Mr B and I. Though I find that I never eat much Christmas dinner anyway as I’m half-sick of the sight of food after cooking all morning! Next year, she’ll be 15 months old and able to tuck in with us all, at least.

I got some gorgeous knitted gifts from Kai and Diane which I will photograph for the next post (currently have a baby attached to me!) and Mr B loved his annual Christmas socks, of course. Other than that, it wasn’t a very yarny sort of Christmas this year.

So onward to 2010. I resolved this time last year to be very selfish, which didn’t exactly pan out the way I’d planned, did it? Though it started well with my Deep-V Argyle Sweater, pretty much as soon as that was off the needles, morning sickness arrived and I made nothing for myself afterwards.

This coming year, I don’t know whether I can plan to achieve anything as it can be days between me putting down and picking up the needles again. But that hasn’t stopped me plotting. I’ve got ideas and charts and notes for new designs and all I need is a 40 hour day and I might just get them done!

Hoping you all have a very peaceful and happy 2010 and the new year brings you whatever you want it to.
