I wish I'd made lots more than the 2 I sent them. Your plan to knit 50 is great. Think I'll try and knit some more with the oddments of yarn I have laying around. Not sure I'll be able to make the 50 mark though!! Love the pom poms - they're so colourful. <br />Your other resolutions sound fun - good luck with them all. I'm sure you'll think of plenty of fun activities to treat yourself too once a month.<br />Jill xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16845451731282180142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-15516530399813582052014-01-06T12:27:25.405+00:002014-01-06T12:27:25.405+00:00I've got one or two ideas for my something nic...I've got one or two ideas for my something nice for January, I shall let you know which I decide on in due course.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-56063153883707539492014-01-05T22:42:04.181+00:002014-01-05T22:42:04.181+00:00I love your little hats No. Funny how we both had ...I love your little hats No. Funny how we both had the same idea.

I'm looking forward to hearing which films you watch, I'm still going to carry on with this, I'll watch out for any I want to see being shown on tv. It's such a worthwhile cause, knitting hats for The Big Knit, so it's nice that you're joining in. I thought that if I start now, I should have a decent amount to send come October.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-52756236139802361552014-01-03T16:40:32.437+00:002014-01-03T16:40:32.437+00:00HI No Happy New Year to you.

I love old films so just don"t always have the time but as this is now one of my challenges I"m going to have to make time. Also picking up the challege of the little hats for Age Uk so we"'ll be able to keep each other on track with that one but you"'ve made a brilliant start.Lazy Days & Sundayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00981937294479619947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-81594884125294297202014-01-03T10:09:07.761+00:002014-01-03T10:09:07.761+00:00I like to set myself some fun challenges.

I don't know what my nice things are going to be yet but I think this is going to be a very fun challenge. I'd have made my own pom poms if they'd turned out a little better than they did. They're for charity so I reckon anyone buying them deserves something better than those which I can make.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-72318270432532181332014-01-02T17:50:56.426+00:002014-01-02T17:50:56.426+00:00Happy New Year :)

I know we're so lucky to have it, lots of places have seen libraries close down over the last few years, so I think it's important to use them otherwise we'll end up losing them.
