I enjoyed so much this last podcast. The astrology references were funny - me being a scientist I don't go for it, but it makes a good excuse anyway.
For your contest: I am beginning to learn to spin on a hand spindle - I learned on a wheel many, many years ago & still have the wheel, but as my life turned I have been away for many years. I now knit much, & decided I need to get back to spinning. I have done my first yarn on the spindle - see this link from Ravelry:

I love socks, too.

Hey, there. Listened to your 'cast today. I wouldn't call it a New Year's Resolution, but I have certainly resolved to be fearless with my knitting. In the past I've avoided knitting challenges which is why I haven't made a sweater yet, although I've got plenty of socks and garter stitch scarves. But why shouldn't I try new techniques, like entrelac and colorwork? No good reason I can think of! Fearless, that's me!
