Happy New Year!

Hope you all had happy holidays and are enjoying 2010!

It's New Year's Resolution time, and I've been thinking about what I'd like to accomplish this year – apart from knit a lot, of course!

I'd like this to be an adventurous year for me – there are lots of new things I'd like to try (not just knitting!) and I'm looking for some suggestions. Are there any techniques you've tried and really loved? In 2009, I tried Jeny's surprisingly stretchy bind off which really does what it says on the tin and the No wrap no gap shortrow heel is now my go-to heel for simple socks but I still haven't found a way to stop myself yanking the floats too tight when I do Fair Isle, so my 'Flame Thrower Socks' from Knitting Socks with Handpainted Yarns are languishing in the UFO pile. Tips gratefully received!
