New Year, New Me

Happy New Year to one and all!  I hope everyone has a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!  Sorry I haven't posted in a while, but with the Holidays and Year-end at work....it was a little crazy.  This year I have vowed to do certain things:

1.  Lose weight, a lot of weight, in small doses.  I actually got on a scale and cried my eyes out.
2.  Eat healthier and exercise more. 
3.  Knit more, learn to knit faire isle, is the one thing I really want to do.

On a different note, I receive a couple of packages.  One was the Grand Prize from the Scavenger Hunt.  I received a big box stuffed with some great things.  I couldn't believe all the stuff I got. I get to try to dye my own yarn.  That is the coolest.  I received dark chocolate cocoa, DPNs size 3, note pads and books.  Thank you so much to the Secret Pal Hostesses!

Then I received a package from my Secret Pal.  In addition to some gummi bears (yummmmm) and coffee I received the following:

My secret pal hand dyed this 100% merino wool lace yarn and she sent me a Snowflake Lace Sock pattern.  I can't wait to start that!  Thank you so much Secret Pal!
