Good grief. Another year over and it's all packed away again to hide in the eaves until next December.

I can't quite believe I've let another year slip by and have only just got round to updating this blog ! I have been really busy - especially at work. And to be honest, I'm not sure that I'll be any less busy when I go back to the office on Monday. But I will try very hard to make more time for me, for my health and for friends :0)

Next time, I'll show you what I've been knitting.

In the dim and distant past that is known as the Pre-Ravelry Ages, I can remember the excitement of waiting every few months for the publication of the latest Knitty.com

It was probably my first real experience of the whole wide world of international knitting opening up to me. Along with that and the discovery of the blogging world, I was sorted.

But as newer and shinier toys came along, poor old Knitty fell by the wayside for me. There were a few issues that, for me, were a bit "meh" - none of the projects appealed and to be honest, with the vast resource that is Ravelry, I stopped looking at Knitty. The Twist Collective became my favourite online magazine.

Ravelry though, being the all encompassing, everything you can imagine about knitting and more facilitator, has re-awakened my enthusiasm. Mooching about among the posts, I came across a link to Lanesplitter. And I HAVE to have one :0)

Rummaging further through that issue of Knitty I found Iced and Mythos and Coralie and Flo and then in the next issue, there's Beatnik and Vines and Brambles and Riff ......... what can I say ? Way to go Knitty ! Back on form :0)))

In the interests of rediscovering some other old friends, I'm also planning a bit more "me" time this year. Last year was an incredible year for me professionally but left me so little time for other things. This year, I plan to get my life back. Even if I have to steal it.

Happy New Year by the way !
