Knitting Resolutions

And as I am very remiss in posting I am also very remiss in making New Years Resolutions on New Years. So now this year I am planning on trying to knit for at least 15 to 30 minutes a night. Hopefully this will be a good way to get a lot of projects further along as well as allow me to calm down and my brain to shut down before going to bed each night.
On some completely unrelated to knitting notes, wish my bf a Happy 22nd Birthday since I went to Abbotsford this last weekend to celebrate with him. Neither of us paid for a single drink on his birthday and that sad fact is that he had 2 or 3 times the amount of alcohol as me and by the end of the night (about 4 hours of time) we were equally sober.
I also got to spend the weekend with the puppies (Cindy is 3 and Hank is about a year and a half). They are much more active than Tucker is and much more fun to play with.
Well enjoy your knitting and I will be hopefully gaining ground on my own knitting soon.

Welcoming 2010 ... just a little late

So I keep getting distracted when I want to actually post this year. So far it has been an interesting year wit new classes and not as much knitting as I wish. Nevertheless I have made a New Years resolution about knitting this year. The resolution is that I am not allowed to start or buy any new projects until I have completed something. So far this has been working out well, except for the fact that I haven't been getting anywhere with my knitting at all. I am working however on the bf's sweatshirt which is about 5 inches long, maybe. My own two sweaters have been put on hold because one is too simple and I'm too lazy to cast on for the front, the second one I'm not very happy with how it looks but it's too late to turn back now. I have started a pair of socks but I screwed up the heel flap and it looks silly.
On non-knitting related topics last Friday I went to Black and White Casino Night that was to raise money for the GMB (I can't remember what the acronym stands for now) of which one of my friends belongs and she is going to Honduras in February. But on that note I am now the proud owner of my first piece of art. It was pretty cool and I was hoping to start people actually bidding on it if I wrote my name down but no such luck. I shall be recieving it on Saturday I believe and will post a picture of it later.
Anyways off to class again.
