2006 is forever gone and a new year is right now unfolding itself in front of us! New oportunities, great intentions, resolutions and expectations....imagine how the world would be if they all came true! I am no good at making new year's resolutions - and even worse at keeping them...but this year I bang the drum and may the world-wide-web be my witness when I promise: DURING 2007 I WILL FINISH 3 KNITTED OBJECTS FOR EVERY SINGLE NEW ONE I START! AND IF I DON'T FEEL LIKE STARTING ONE (HAHAHA!) - I'LL FINISH EVEN MORE! (AND BY ALL MEANS: SOCKS, MITTENS, GLOVES, OR WHATEVER OBJECTS THAT CONSTITUTE PAIRS IN ORDER TO BE USEFUL, COUNT AS 1 - ONE OBJECT!) This resolution is absolutely crucial if I by the end of this year don't want to become known as the poor knitblogger who sadly went missing among her own WIPs...(and noone ever heard even the faintest click-clack from her ever again....)

The good thing about making my own resolution is that I also get to make my own rules. When I say "finish an object" this may also mean finish as in terminate, rip, frog, unravel, FINITO! Right now I can't think of many objects that I actually want to end like this - but there might be a couple...

Please remind me if I break my rules... And any other over-active knitter out there is more than welcome to join me in my WIP-reducing adventure!

Status pr. january 2. 2007: no projects finished or started so far this year... Sad, isn't it? :-)

BUT during the last week of 06 I finished TWO objects and started ONE. Just doing a little warm-up for 07... I planned on getting pictures of both of them today - but one of them was gone! I made the man a scarf and he actually wore it to work - bless his neck!! However, younger boy and his new socks sticked around since school doesn't start until tomorrow. After only a couple of days they look worn - he likes them!!

details:

yarn:opal dreamcatcher, aprox. 50 g

needles: 2,25 mm 5 dpns

pattern: basic sock pattern, top-down, 60 sts, short-row garter st heel

Since the other FO took a trip today I'll show you the newest addition to my WIP-list:

And please do remember, I did start this in 2006! It's the "Here There Be Dragons Socks" by the keyboard biologist. I want to finish them, wear them and feel fierce as stated in the pattern! WIPs! - watch out - here I come!!
