First day of the year and first blog post

Welcome, welcome one and all! To the 1st, all new, shiny and exciting knitting blog created, courated and collated by Rachael Emily Punton and with a few directional hints, tips and maybe a collumnist position given to my fiancé Richy Daniel Barrett aka Bazza, who makes fantastic things out of wood. Together we make Bazza bear and little bear or soon to be Mrs bear. Now darlings let me explain some things. Firstly it's a fresh new day on a fresh new year and I feel anything but fresh. It is 2013 and inevitably the year I shall turn the dreaded twenty six, my LATE twenties, the 26 - 30 box on forms. As it is such an important year in that way I make a deffinate decision to make some of those loose dreams (urgh cheesy) firm realities and more specifically goals that I shall meet. But to keep this short Im going to aim not to babble, however by saying that I have already babbled thus defeating the object, oh dear. The following are said goals, get them out the way, before I  babble again. So here it goes. 

You guessed it. Create a blog... Become a blogger... And presently  a technological queen and so forth. 

Secondly actually become good at a craft that I have fooled people into thinking I can do for the last year, that being knitting foremost followed by crocheting and macramé-ing. The first I have never developed any further than beginner, the other two well I haven't really reached any stage and quite possibly won't. 

Thirdly join as many knitting groups that is possible, realistically that means pluck up the courage to go to at least one, specifically the knitting group that resides at Armley mills museum. The most amazing old woollen mill ten minutes from my front door. 

These wooley resolutions excite me and are also very achievable, I mean look I'm achieving one of the three now, fantastic! This blog shall track my progress. these goals were set not through slurred lips after sipping on whiskey out of a hip flask after the stroke of 12.00. No no no, they were planned and premeditated around two months ago, set up so that come the first of January 2013 (today) it's all systems a go go.
