Christmas has come and gone and the new year has begun.  As exciting as New Year's and beginnings are, I am always a little sad when the holidays are done (I didn't bake enough cookies, I didn't get my fill of Christmas music, I never got around to knitting all the Christmas presents I wanted to make).  And once again I vow that next year will be different.  

I'm not a New Year's resolution kind of gal, but thought that I will set some New Year's intentions and also thought that I will set some New Year's knitting goals.  Along with finishing my Amanda cardigan (yes, I am the last on the panel to finish), I plan on finishing the Cypress vest that I started before the shop opened ( a year and a half ago) and starting this summer I will knit hats and mittens for all four of my kids so that I don't panic when September comes around and they have no warm hand knits to wear on those cool mornings waiting for the school bus.  Also, I intend to get a head start on my holiday knitting.  What are your plans the new year?
