Muntu Stitches

I’m afraid to even see when the last time it was I posted but the holiday season, thankfully, has come and gone and it’s 2008. In all my non-posting blogging, there were a lot of knits produced in form of many instant gratification knitting. I also call this my Back to basics knitting. It seemed like as much as I wanted to produce lots of knits last year, time was rare and the pressure was unnecessary. December had me returning to a time of simpler knits in the form of hats and simple scarves. I, of course, have a sweater in progress but I’m currently stuck on the sleeves and haven’t felt motivated to work on that lately. So for now it’s a new obsession with Malabrigo and all hats in the beret form. I’m particularly enamored by the berets designed by Ysolda. I love my Estella and Gretel berets!

It’s been nice to have lots of time to knit over this holiday season but as reality kicks in and I return to work next week, I need to face up to several things that I wish to see happen this new year.

1. Definitely blog more this year.
2. Get re-acquainted with knit bloggers and participate/comment with the knit community.
3. Stick to the basics with knitting.
4. Use my stash!

In the non-knitting realm:

1. Start running again. (I’ve missed running a lot!) I signed up for a half-marathon right after I finished the last one I did and well, kinda got into a funk of not running at all. Of course, I won’t be running the half now since it’s in a couple weeks and I gotta make up for that lame behavior.

That’s all. I don’t really want to write up a list for that because it’s just more fun to break the resolutions and then feel guilty all over again.

~Bee, looking forward to this new year.
