After the champagne toasts and the “Auld Lang Synes” come the resolutions, those pesky little promises we make to ourselves each New Year’s Day, only to wind up disappointed when March rolls around and our pledges have been forgotten. This year, make a resolution to love your body as it is right now—not how it looked in high school or how it might look if you lost weight, but as it appears in your mirror at this very moment—and then resolve to knit up an amazing sweater built to fit your sexy, beautiful curves!
