How quickly 2004 has come and gone. For me, I'm glad to see 2004 over... roll on 2005. On a personal level, the year has been somewhat of a rollercoaster ride.
So, with 2005, I hope that the bad spirits get swept away and the good spirits come back to stay.
Oh yes, and here are my new year socks. I finished them last night and gave them a quick block before shoving them onto the scanner. It was hard work making them identical.
Rib socks always look a bit funny when they aren't on feet, but the fit is really good
My New Year Resolutions?
- knit more for ME!
- don't take friends and family for granted and be much better keeping in touch with people. I'm going to try and answer emails and not just put them aside because I get busy and forget to do it.
- be on time and stop procrastinating
- be tidier
I wish everyone a happy new year.

I got some JaggerSpun Zephyr in Violet to do it in and plan on starting Sunday (although I may not be able to wait that long....) Your new sheep are great! Can you get them in the USA?

New socks for the new year - does this mean that 2005 will be a sock knitting year, or that you'll always have well clad feet?
BTW, despite household tasks and dinner getting in the way, I have managed to finish Donna and Wavy , so we're now relaxing with a little vodka, some new knitting and the champagne is on ice for Jools Holland and midnight.
Dawn :)
Posted by: dawn at December 31, 2004 10:24 PMHave a great New Year and definitely make 2005 the year you knit more for yourself. You do such a lot for others that it is about time you spent time on you, you deserve it.
Health, wealth and happiness to you and James.
Louise, Lyssie and Jeremy

May it be filled with good health and happiness [and lots of fantastic knitting !].
2005 is already here. Wishing you and yours a wonderful year (with, I hope, a little more lace knitting included??), lots of laughs, love from family and friends, good health and much happiness.
