HAPPY NEW YARN ......or YEAR
Nothing like unexpected Yarny goodness for the New Year.
Nancy (Wyoming Breezes) sent this gorgeous yarn to me. I entered her contest and I wasn't even a winner and she sent this soft fun skein to me. Oh it is going to be a wonderful hat. The first hat of my new year. Thanks sweet Nancy!
A co-worker Nurse friend of mine gave me this yarn bowl on Sunday night shift. I nearly cried. Her husband throws pottery and made it just for me. It is so beautiful. I' have always wanted one, but was too cheap to buy one..........
What a way to ring in the new Year.
New yarn and New Yarn bowl.
I do resolutions. I know some of you do not. I completely respect the no resolution group. I really do. I make them for fun.
Here are my New Year resolutions:
* I will see the Northern Lights this year.
(At least once a year the weatherman/person says we can catch them in Chicago if we go to a dark location.....
I will see them this year!)
*I am not buying any wrapping paper this year. I plan to use old brown bags. (Brown paper packages tied up with string)
I WILL make them beautiful with ordinary things I find in my yard/home.
and Finally
* I will knit myself a Lopi Sweater.
This is a big big goal for me. I'm up for it.
Mosaic Yarn Studio near me will edit a pattern to fit my specific body shape for ten dollars.
Happy New Year Pretend Friends.
Resolutions or NO?

Love your resolutions. Happy New Year!
I received a yarn bowl for Christmas, too. It is a handy and beautiful tool.
Resolutions? This year I plan to 'live' more. I feel like I've spent the last year working and little else. I turn 50 this year and I want to remember the dinners with friends, the vacations, where I get to meet pretend friends, the convos with hubby in the hot tub. How's that? g
Happy New Year!
I'm not one for making New Year's resolutions, but I think yours are very doable! Have fun in the new year!
That is a lovely yarn bowl. Your friend's husband is very talented. Enjoy!
Happy 2013 to you and your family.
Hugs to you,
Meredith
I would be in tears if someone gave me one myself! I too have been wanting one but too cheap to get it.
Happy New Year!
I make promises to myself rather than resolutions. Mine are to finish Classic Cardigan. (I've only been working on it for 4 months heehee). I also promise to TRY to control my temper in traffic, in the office, in restaurants, at home...anyway, to be more peaceful! Pray for me!
Your new yarn bowl is gorgeous!
I'm pro resolution, but I don't beat myself up too much if I don't keep them!
