I like that. Congratulations on losing twenty-five pounds last year. I am sure you will be able to continue with this. You sound very dedicated. Good luck on all of your other goals and the publishing of your third book. I hope you have a happy and productive 2012.Melissa Sugarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16268333458796847721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852800943772489474.post-38786408761631819762012-01-03T13:21:40.133-08:002012-01-03T13:21:40.133-08:00Faith, The first large project I ever made was a v...Faith, The first large project I ever made was a vest for my husband, shortly after we were married. It must have been some quality yarn because that vest still looks as good as new even after 40 years of marriage! Course it doesn't get worn much now, as he "outgrew" it sometime around age 35.<br /><br />Misha, Thanks! I appreciate the support. Good luck with achieving yours as well. I'll be watching hehe.<br /><br />Simon, Well, like most husbands, mine would be grateful for a nicer, less snarky wife I'm sure :)Karen Jones Gowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01153821980625034810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852800943772489474.post-30104727083929046572012-01-03T11:43:21.125-08:002012-01-03T11:43:21.125-08:00Wonderful goals; I share many of them.

At least if I mess up, I'm not forcing anyone else to wear my mistakes. :)Faith E.
