I do hope you’re as wonderful and interesting as 2008, even though I didn’t do anything to welcome you in! Yesterday I finally decided that my ‘ignore it while I do fun things’ attitude to my cold might have some influence on the way it’s lingered for forever. So in an attempt to actually do something to get rid of it I spent the evening eating soup, watching Six Feet Under and knitting, and then I went to bed at 9.30. That might be rather pathetic, but after 13 hours sleep I do feel a little better. And since they woke me up I did at least get to see the fireworks. I’ve spent today pottering around the house, cleaning up a little, knitting some more,
dreaming
and making sure to drink plenty of fluids.
Right now I’m off to heat up more soup and maybe in a few days I’ll be ready for 2009 to get a little more interesting, but right now I’m quite happy with it being quiet. Wishing you and yours a happy, peaceful and knitting filled year!

Sometimes the most lovely way to usher in change is by embracing the quiet and wonders of our simple lives. It sounds like you had a wonderful evening. Take care of yourself!
Happy New Year, Ysolda, and all good wishes!
That sounds like a lovely way to usher in the New Year! Hope you are feeling better soon and happy knitting.

Well, except for you not feeling too good, it sounds like a lovely evening. What’s wrong with quietness?
Feel better soon. Happy new year!
Happy New Year, Ysolda! I’m so glad I discovered your blog recently and I’m loving your patterns (currently working on Liesl and looking forward to Briar Rose, Elijah, Otto and the new collection to expand my skills). Looking at your photos makes me want to visit Edinburgh again someday (beautiful city and quite a way from Brighton). Thanks for all your interesting and inspiring posts and I wish you a sparkling 2009! Love that narwhal mug by the way!
Happy New Year! I can’t wait to see what that delicious dark pink knitting in the first pic turns out to be!
Feel better soon! (adorable mug)
Hey, may I ask what the pink and red tweed yarns are? They’re just lovely, and I think I want some…
I hope you feel better soon. May your 2009 be a safe and blessed year!
I hope you feel better soon. I drink tons of green tea and white tea. White tea has more antioxidants in it so it is actually better!!
and of course Congee.. as chinese soup/rice dish. can’t bet that
well, if i wasn’t a narwhal fan before, i most certainly am now. narwhal!
Happy New Year! Thank you for some gorgeous patterns. I can’t wait to see what you make with the New Lanark Yarn… such lovely colours.

A bowl of chicken soup should help you on the way to feeling well again – unless you’re a vegetarian…

Hope you’re feeling better. Not much better across the pond – all of Texas is taken with colds or stomach ailments. I’m dodging them left and right.
Having a blast reading your blog. Lovely!
Gazing at pretty wool and dreaming sounds pretty therapeutic to me.
Six Feet Under is the best show to knit to.
hii friend.your blog very nice please,you can add your friend list me to..have a nice day
There is nothing like bringing in the new year with quiet and contemplation, and lots of wool. :)
Stop by and try a bit on my gingerbread house! Sorry you are sick .. we’ve been hit here too. Best wishes for a 2009, Ysolda. Love your blog and your Narwhal coffe cup.
