Another year over.....Almost

Well that is Christmas over and done with for another year thank go.  I have to admit this year has been our toughest in loads of ways, there is always the money problems there is just never enough, Family problems consist of the usual bickering rellies. But this year I am just getting over my "break down" which is in one way  awesome that there is now light at the end of the tunnel but its also really freaking scary knowing that I need to do normal things like find work.

The work thing is my biggest worry to date, not that I am work shy in fact the I am quite the opposite.  But what is troubling me is that 6 month gaping hole that will appear on my CV!  What do I write? "I am sorry I was outa work as my brain & body endured a 6 month crazy frenzy"? doesn't look good does it.............

So that is where I am at with that part of my life. The other part (the best part) KNITTING is going really well :) I completed my knitted Xmas presents in plenty of time, I even knitted things for family members to give as gifts.  But I want to up my game so to speak, I want to tackle the dreaded sock.

DPNs are the devils work IMO so I will be trying my best to learn on circs, I have the tools I just need my brain to get on the same page.  This is all part of my "pushing" myself to learn a new pattern every month and I of course at the moment have ideas of grandeur like 12 pairs in 12 months!  I can manage that...Right?

I have also bought the infamous Owl pattern form this amazing lady http://katedaviesdesigns.com/designs/o-w-l-s/ and am scooting about trying to decide which colour to make my first one in.

So that's my lot for now, I kinda like the idea of this blog thing een though I am most likely talking to myself but it saves the trees if I do it this way.

Have a wonderful & safe New Years
