Another beginning

I can't believe it's been 10 months since I made an entry here! 

But it has been, and here we are at the start of a new year.  I do hope to do better this year with maintaining this blog, but I won't go so far as to call that a resolution. 

On the topic of resolutions, I want to recommend a book titled "This Year I Will..." by M. J. Ryan.  I bought my copy in audio format, but I recommend text, because it's the kind of book you'll want to go back and review certain parts, make notes, maybe scribble in the margins.  It's not so easy to do that while listening on an MP3 player.  The book is about resolutions.. New Year's ... birthday... whenever... we all have times when we self evaluate our lives, find something lacking, and resolve to change it.  This book is about why we fail to make those changes time and time again, and how to go about making a resolution that will really stick.

So we begin a new year and I'll start by posting this picture of the first project I completed this year - my crocheted tam.  I got the pattern from Crochet magazine.  It's unique enough to hold interest.  The hat itself fits well and is very warm.  I think I'd like to try the pattern with a different yarn.  Something that would lend it to be a little more fluid.  We'll see...
