I have neglected the blog terribly over the holidays! I haven't even had time to knit until yesterday, but I made up for it with a spree that got a little baby cardigan made and two books finished. Then I ordered more books! Of course I had to order enough to get the free shipping, so quite a bit of the Agatha Raisin series and a couple Aunt Dimity's are on the way, lol. Nothing quite like having a light cozy to read while immersed in comfy, fluffy knitting!
I will catch up on blogging tho, and fling pictures around gleefully...tomorrow! Meantime, I am absorbing colorful goings-on and various other rather gothic and labrynthine (how is that spelled..!) quirks of small-town southern life.
My resolutions for this year? Hmm...one is to knit more for charity, even a little bit can help. Another is to just listen more. Hard for me to get a word in edgewise around here, but instead of fussing about that, I think I'll hush and listen. If everyone else is talking, it's a safe bet they ain't listening, and someone surely should... Something every person needs is just to be HEARD and SEEN.
Another is to take a nice long, contemplative walk with myself at least 3 times a week. I figure my soul needs the excercise as much as I do.
And I think that's enough resolutions for the year. The rest will take care of itself.

I love your resolutions. In particular, I think long, contemplative walks are especially conducive to having a good year. As you say, exercise for the soul and the body.
Happy New Year, Owl!
I can knit by touch...but it has always eluded me as to how anyone can read AND knit.
I like the Agatha Raisin series too!
As for listening...perhaps that's where I need to go too.
