		<title>Finish Line</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, the Ravelympics finished on Sunday.  It was quite a challenge and I didn&#8217;t manage to do everything that I wanted to do.  Most notably, the blankie of doom.  This was A Challenge.  I will admit that.  And I worked hard on it.  However, it is hard to find [...]]]></description>

		<title>I heart Ysolda</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, the ravelympics are nearly over and I have done fairly well.  The blankie of doom will not be finished, sadly, but have taken a different WIP out of the cobwebbed closet to see if I can finish it before the end of the Winter Olympics.

		<title>Nearly There</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is nearly the end of the Ravelympics.  I have not finished all that I wanted to do.  By a long shot.  But that is not for a want of trying.  I shall post photos of what I have done after the closing ceremony.  But, fair to say, I&#8217;ve not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Missing Hook</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How can I do my crochet if I cannot find my hook?!  I was using it last night and today I cannot find it anywhere!  And to top it all off, my spare hooks seem to have vanished too.  
I wonder what the borrowers want with my hooks.  Hmmmm.

		<title>Goodbye Woolly Workshop</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I am rather sad.  Yesterday I received a parcel from one of my favourite online yarn stores, the woolly workshop.  However, due to very sad circumstances, Gill is closing her doors.  This makes me sad, but I do wish Gill all the very best in whatever she does.
I have bought many [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, with all this snow, we may as well bring a bit of summer back into our life!  After seeing so many beautiful blankets, by Heather, Kaff and, of course, Lucy, I decided to do one myself.

		<title>Circle of Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I have been playing.  I have borrowed David&#8217;s macro lens, played with my gorillapod tripod and the new ball head that arrived today and been taking photos with it all.  I love love love the macro.  I do like getting close into different things and the clarity is astounding on some [...]]]></description>

		<title>Day 2 &#8211; Twelfth Night</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tonight is Twelfth Night.  It means that Christmas is all over.  So, to commemorate that, I have chosen a photo I took a few days ago that sums up Christmas 2009 for me.

This year was, as the bauble states, our first Christmas with Niamh.  That alone, made it a special year for [...]]]></description>
