that time of the year again

as usual when christmas comes around, i look around and say to myself "i can't believe another year has passed." this year went by especially fast and it's really crazy to think that 2011 is just around the corner. i feel like i was pretty productive this year. my friends and i make a goodreads group called 52 in 52 to encourage ourselves to read more. i surprised myself by reading close to 100 books this year (compared to the 52 i managed last year). this has a lot to do with my friend and i discovering the awesomeness that are romance novels and especially paranormal romance novels. you end up reading them really fast and there's usually a series of books. we've come across a lot of good books this year as well as some duds, but that's to be expected. i have been knitting and buying less yarn though i want to knit more next year.

i think my knitting goals next year will be socks, sweaters and colorwork. i am working on a fair isle hat right now and i am skeptical about how it will turn out but i want to see it through to the end.

i also baked a lot this year and want to continue the trend. i received the awesome fat witch brownie book for christmas and i want to make everything in it. this might be the year of the brownie. other than that i just plan to take it easy in 2011. hopefully take a vacation and just enjoy myself. what are your new years resolutions?
