One of my new years resolutions for this year was to knit a sweater, as well as some other lofty goals that I'll touch on a bit in this post. (I do plan to do a goal review post soon.)

I've done a lot of thinking (since yesterday) and I think there are a few a lot of changes that need to come into play in the new year. The first change will be to this blog. I believe a new template is in order (and I think I've found one). The current one is starting to get a bit stale and while all of the picture and slider...

I'm also late with listing the Hunger Games colourways and with advertising for the Quarterly Club sign up that's coming up soon.
