1. I finished this sweater over the weekend. Still need to give it a final blocking and get a photo of it on me though.
2. I started writing a column for Serious Eats NY. Each week, I’ll be profiling a local food artisan and reviewing one or more of their products. I’m really excited about the gig; it should be a lot of fun.
3. I made a long list of New Year’s resolutions. I *love* making resolutions. For me, they’re not at all about focusing on negative things that I want to stop and more about adding positive stuff. 2011′s include writing here on a more organized schedule (I’m thinking MWF, but haven’t decided for sure), trying one new recipe a week, which will surely help with the first one, and reading literary mystery authors I’ve either missed entirely or not read much of: P.D. James, Dorothy L. Sayers, Ian Rankin, Patricia Highsmith…
4. I finally got around to watching all of Party Down over the holidays. Holy cats, that was an awesome show! Too bad it was canceled before I even knew it existed.
5. And I did a fair bit of work on my ripple blanket over the holidays. I had to add a few colors, since I’m not going to get as many stripes out of each skein as I expected, but I think it’s working out fine.

Ian Rankin is pretty awesome. Makes you want to drink a lot. Ripple is looking fantastmic. Can’t wait to see the sweatah.
Those are great resolutions and selfishly, I hope I get some book recommendations
.
Love the blanket and those colors – so pleasing.
i LOVE party down too! so bummed it was cancelled.
Ian Rankin is my favorite ever! You are exploring my favorite genre. Margery Allingham would by my 2 cent addtion to the list.
Dorothy Sayers. YES. I need to read her stuff too. I don’t know how I missed her for so long.
