wiping the dust off my wheel I was shocked to find bits of a spider web on my wheel when I was cleaning before Xmas.. my poor neglected wheel. I can't even remember what I was doing besides spinning.. recovering from craft fairs only takes SO long, you know... anyhow, it's been dusted off and is spinning happily again. a bunch of superbulky merino, pre-washing:


I've declared in the new year, mondays are for sweaters. This is the only day I won't have running, yoga, knitting, or the usual friday going out stuff. to start the year off, I used up Noro ball #2 on sleeve 2 and started ball #3 on the body. round and round and round.


I've been contemplating a list of sorts, reviewing my 2005, but... what have I done? I got engaged in 2004, but am not getting married til June. I bought marcel's car; he paid me back. nothing exciting big news. ok.. so smaller things.. went to fab wedding in a spanish orange grove, and got terribly sick. navigated paris during a(nother) transit and only got felt up once while being smooshed into a train. ate dinner in a hall in a scottish castle. sold yarn in a completely different state. ran 8 miles once! (ok, that one I am proud about!)

how about looking forward? 2006 *is* my year. Right?! I will finish sweaters. I will get married. I will go to some exotic location and sip cold drinks on the beach. I will buy a house or condo if house is unattainable. I will run more than 8 miles at least a few times. I will dye yarn. I will fix the website.

happy new year!   ¶ 18:33
