2010 has been the worst year of my life, and as an appropriate ending to a dreadful year, I have just returned from 6 hours at the ER. I'll be so happy to see this one go, and I have high hopes that 2011 will be better. It simply has to.
The knitting wasn't bad, really. I never showed you my finished Clapotis. Here she is, blocking.
Details:
Pattern: Clapotis
Yarn: Lorna's Laces Lion & Lamb, 3.2 skeins
Colorway: Embers
Needles: US #8
Comments: This is my second Clapotis, all for me! Love the colors. Grays, blacks, reds, with bits of purplish goodness. It's aptly named. And look at how gorgeously it pooled!
Started in the old year, to be finished in the new year: first ever 2 at a time toe up socks. Using leftover yarn because of stashbusting. They were fiddly at first, but I think I'm getting the hang of the method. May use it more often on single color designs. Probably won't make a habit out of knitting multi-colored patterns two at a time. Too much tangling.
So... I'll see you in the new year. May 2011 treat us well, be kinder to us than 2010 was, and bring much joy to everyone.

((hugs)) Hope it was nothing serious at the ER.
Uh-oh, I hope you're feeling ok, and that 2011 is a far better year!
Oh Batty, I wish so many wonderful things on you in 2011. I hope that 2010 can just fade into the background soon.
Here's hope and good wishes that 2011 will be full of light and love for you! Happy New Year's sweetie!
beautiful socks. wonderful how you can take some left overs and make something out of them, isn't it?
Everything in our life gets made into something, love, joy, happiness, (or anger, sadness. destruction.
Knitting help us make the peices into oneness and into beauty, (and into practial socks!)
hope the next year give you more yarn, and less of a need for it!
((hugs)) Here's hoping 2011 is a much better year for you!! Happy New Year!
Lovely, lovely knitting. As always. As for the way 2010 treated you--pah!
Every good wish in the world for a spectacularly GOOD 2011.
I felt just the same yesterday when I gladly said goodbye to 2010. Nothing but trouble! So here's to a better year ahead!
Oh dear, I'm so sorry you had to go to the ER! In any case, your knitting is very pretty, HAPPY NEW YEAR and I hope 2011 is better for you.
Agree with your sentiments about 2010. May this year be better for all of us.
The ER??? Good night woman. Yeah, 2011 has got to be a better one for you.
