New Year, new skills

Happy New Year.....................

Ours has started off quite well for a change.  The tree is gone the after effects of the holiday's a distant memory.

I am sorting a list of knits I want to achieve this year.  I wanted to try Lace and I have started off with great intentions & am currently working my way through the Alyona lace scarf by www.fyberspates.co.uk

using a beautiful lace yarn from this lovely lady www.edencottageyarns.co.uk.  And so far so good :) I was really scared to try it out although now I don't know why, the pattern is amazing for newbies like myself & I would highly recommend it.

I am also trying to only have 1 WIP on the go at  any one time too to make sure I finish off what I started instead of having a cupboard full of UFO's for a change.  I recently went through all my UFO's and recycled the yarn after deciding that I really was just kidding myself that I was going to finish them.  So month 1 WIP 1 = a win so far.

I am trying to decide if I am brave enough to tackle the dreaded sock next? they honestly give me the fear even though they are at the very top of my "new knits to learn this year" list, there are so many amazing patterns to choose from and I don't even want to get started on the yarn choice...................


So that's my lot for now, I am off to enjoy a cuppa & get back to my knitting.
