Happy New Year!

Yes, I know it's already February, but I really don't know where the last month has gone. I certainly haven't been doing anything very exciting or interesting.
Some news I do have however: I will be going to Finland again for 3 weeks at the end of this month. I'm quite excited about it, but I'll tell you more about it later. I'm also excited about the Venice Carnival, particularly for reasons related to food! (See last years posts). There are some other exciting things happening too, but for now they shall remain secrets. I will share as soon as I'm good and ready, thank you very much.

All my friends seem to be procreating - and it's not even Valentine's Day yet! I'm of course over the moon about this. Babies smell lovely and the best part is that I don't need stay up in the night with them because they don't belong to me. This has also given me a really good excuse to start knitting again. Since the New Year I've so far completed 2 pairs of booties, a blanket, and a pair of socks for myself. Around Christmas I also made a really cool pair of felted gloves for a friend, they have definitely come in handy in the last weeks with the "cold wind from Siberia" sweeping across Italy. In fact they say tonight it should start snowing even here. The south has already been covered with snow earlier this week.

And that's about it, I think. This weekend I might go to Venice, assuming the weather permits. Expect to hear some carnival related news after that!
