Knitting
When 2015 rolled in I sat and thought about what my crafty goals were for the year. Now while there was a few, the big one for the year was to knit (or crochet if I get the itch) everyday! Yep, everyday! I don't care if it is only a handful of stitches but I must knit something. My thought process is pretty simple - if I knit everyday not only will my lovely knits get finished but it will also give me something to focus on each day which (I hope) will transfer to getting other plans for the year done!
First up for the year was completing this pair of wool soakers. In toilet training the little man we switched him to cloth nappies for both his day and night sleeps and no cloth nappy is complete with out a wool soaker. Using up my stash yarn and THIS fantastic pattern by Kelly Brooker I finished my first knitting project for the year (even if I did start it way back in November)! The little man LOVES them and asks to wear them all the time and lets face it they looking pretty darn cute on!
Goodbye 2014, Hello 2015
As 2014 drew to a close we were truly grateful for the year we had - a published book, a book launch, camping trips, moving house, new friends, a ski trip, triathlons, new additions, a wedding and engagements. But the standout was by far not only being approved as permanent foster carers, but welcoming a little man into our lives and all the firsts that came with becoming parents, especially to a gorgeous 2 year old. He truly is a remarkable, funny, affectionate kid with resilience beyond his years. We don't know what 2015 has install for us but we can't wait. And what of the blog? Keep checking in there will be things to come!
Happy New Year from my family to yours and may your 2015 be a prosperous one!
