Tell you what
Since I am awful at keeping resolutions, no matter how seriously and publicly I make them (my UFOs are living proof of this), this year, instead of embarassing myself with yet another set of unkept promises, I'll make a list of the things I did do in 2006. Why feel bad about the things I didn't do? I want to feel good.
Here we go, in no particular order:
Friends & Family
- Finally, finally, went to see my brother in London, after more than six years.
- Made new friends, on- and off-line
Knitting, Spinning, etc.
- Went to a spinning/knitting/felting retreat
- Finished two UFOs (two Na Craga sweaters)
- Learned to knit Fair Isle style, keeping a color in each hand
- Knit a bunch of socks
- Learned the basics of quilting (although I still haven't put that to good use)
Health
- Started to work out regularly
- Got into healthier eating habits
- Dropped three sizes; yeah baby, three!
Other
- Started this blog
- Kept it up!
- Got back to studying Japanese
- Put my library on line at LibraryThing
Hey, it looks pretty good when I write it down. I gotta do this more often. :)

Wow, you did a lot of great things this year. It must feel good. :)

Francesca, what a very good idea. I think we would all be rather surprised to see what we accomplish in the space of a year. By the way, I am impressed you finished the Na Craga sweaters. I am ashamed to admit I've got a partial St. Brigid that's been lurking in the cupboard for 6 years. However my list of finished knitting for 2006 is not so shabby. Let's pat our backs in unison.

You should be proud of yourself for accomplishing so much! I love the Na Craga sweaters and maybe you'll finish the St. Brigid and Poetry sweaters this year.
