I hope it's not too late in the year to wish everyone a Happy New Year!
The holidays seemed to come and go very quickly this year. We were distracted by the health of my 97 year old mother-in-law, who was suffering some issues. That always seems to bring up other family issues.
I miss the quiet time my husband and I shared over the years. No matter how hectic our jobs and family issues were, we managed to carve some time out just for us. That seems much harder to do now. I miss those days!
I didn't do as much holiday stitching as I usually do. I did manage to finish stitching Merry Little Christmas.

I haven't quite decided how to finish it.
Then I stitched Bon Noel.

My apologies to the designer, but I have had this for a while, and I don't remember where it came from. Another one that needs to be finished!
Then I knitted a pair of socks. They are such a little luxury in this cold weather!
After that, I knitted up this cowl from some recycled cashmere yarn I had from a previous project. The free pattern is from Purl Soho.
It called for a long tail cast on, but I really don't have the patience for that. I used the crochet cast on method to give it a little extra ease, and it worked out just fine. It is a quick knit, and is a good way to use up that extra yarn.
Well, I have a lot of finishing to do in 2025. That was my resolution for 2024, but I didn't get as much done as I would have liked. Hope springs eternal!
I hope all of you have a wonderful 2025, full of good health and happy surprises!
