Cleaning my slate

I'm not making real life resolutions this year, but I am making two knitting resolutions.

1. I will finish up everything I've started before I start anything new this year.
2. I will not buy any yarn, needles or ANYTHING this year. If I'm given yarn, I do get to keep it.

The exception to this rule is Alison's Sockapalooza. If there's nothing in the stash that's suitable for my sock swap pal, I'll just have to get something now won't I?

To start off the year, I'm finishing up the Spey Valley socks I started last June just before John was born. This is the first time I've knit two socks at the same time and I think it's what I need to do to end up with pairs of socks instead of single sock-shaped swatches.
