Christmas and all of the chaos that surrounded it for me was really great. I got to see most of my family and a lot of my friends. It was kind of a lean Christmas in terms of giving gifts but I feel like I gave everyone things that they could use rather then things that they could admire. DW and I did a lot of baking for the holidays and so many people got baskets of food. Biscotti, scones, quickbreads, regular breads and other assorted goodies. DW had lots of issues with shortbread this year so we were the only ones who got any as most of the batches were not fit for consumption by anyone else. I got lots of fun yarn/obsession related gifts which was really fun. With almost all of my Christmas knitting done now there wasn't much on the needles but as I'm cleaning up after the holiday tornado that went through the house I'm finding bits and pieces of half finished projects sitting around the house. My biggest new year's knitting goal is to finish DW's socks and his sweater, preferably before Christmas next year. I have the entire back of the sweater done and I'm about a third of the way through the front of the sweater. I think that it's going to be my spring/summer knitting so that it's done when the cold weather hits Michigan again.
In news that is totally unrelated to knitting... I have a craving for sushi that just won't go away. Some days I just curse sushi for being so damn good because I could eat sushi for 3 meals a day for a week straight and still not be sick of it. Of course I would go broke long before I got sick of sushi. I suppose at some point I should teach myself how to make sushi so that I don't go completely broke.
