Happy New Year! This meme is getting to be a tradition around here - this is year number 3. Without further ado: The first sentence I blogged in each month of 2008, plus a little commentary:
January: I did this meme last year, and it was pretty fun, so here it is again. (See, I told you I did it last year!)
February: Good ole Clapotis.... she's sort of like a model. Very pretty, but not so much with the conversation. (Yeah... I ended up frogging it. Way too boring to knit a second time.)
March: No new pictures lately, but these socks were cruising right along. (I just can't get excited about socks these days... apparently back in the good ole days of 2008 I knit quite a few of them!)
April: Ugh! Those on Ravelry will recognize that sentiment. (Bad projects sometimes happent o good people. But that sweater ended up fitting my sister, so it was fine after all.)
May: The weather is warm... the birds are chirping... and I just can't get that excited about blogging these days. (Warm weather? That sounds pretty fantastic right now. I was pretty psyched that it was around 50 degrees today. But I ended up taking a nap instead of going for a walk like I intended.)
June: I "finished" the Flutter Sleeve Sweater a couple of weeks ago. (That thing never did turn out right - super baggy I will not being knitting sweaters out of cotton/silk blend yarn again anytime soon.)
July: Are you on twitter? (Yeah - are you? I'm zarah - follow me and my exciting life of exercise, knitting, airport law, and general randomness.)
August: I must admit, the opening ceremonies for my own personal Ravelympics were nothing compared to the drum-beating, calligraphy-dancing, torch-flying festivities in Beijing. However, I think this year's competition is shaping up nicely. (I love the Olympics. love love love. I'd love to go to the winter games in Canada in 2010. Anyone have any inside info on how to make that reasonably affordable?)
September: Yay! I'm happy to report that I finally finished my first lace shawl! (That made a great Christmas gift for my grandma. Resolved: No more triangular shawls.)
October: I knit a reusable shopping bag - isn't it cute? (Why yes, it is! The baggers at the grocery store are a bit befuddled by the crazy macrame-looking bag, though. They seem to do much better with the cloth bags shaped like paper grocery sacks.)
November: Really great Missouri election map here. (bah - Missouri broke it's streak of always choosing the winner of the preseidential election. Maybe that will mean fewer robocalls in 2012?)
