Looking Back on 2013 Goals
Happy New Year Everyone!
Well I hope everyone enjoyed ringing in the New Year whatever you chose to do.I spent it with friends having a fun night.
So Last January I posted a set of goals. These goals below to be exact.
Now for the new year:
1. Double Knitting - I want to do more - both knitting and designing with it in the new year
2. Designing - I put out 3 patterns last year. Can I double that to 6 this year? Will 2013 have a publication possibly?
3. New techniques/skills (last year I learned to spin let’s see what we can get up to this year)
4. Socks - let’s try that again
5. Ever present Stash busting
6. Sweaters - shall we aim for 4?
7. More Hats
How did I do?
1. Lantern Corp Scarf Re-knit and two double knit designs in progress. (I will call that a victory)
2. Designing - I did a few submissions, The Bowties are cool gloves came out, I have some cowls, and some gloves in progress
3. Chain Plying/plying on the fly while not the same, I learned them in tandem
4. Dad’s socks
5. I actually didn’t track this at all this year, but I know I brought in less yarn on a whim and much more for specific projects so the yarn that arrived in went out of my stash rather quickly
6. A sweater dress and a striped cardigan we can count that as 2.5 right?
7. Two more added to the hat pile
Not bad at all, part of the reason I like setting goals is that I have a year to achieve a nebulous thing. Something that is on the back of my mind for a while and usually when I find myself at loose ends I look at things I had planned and see if I can get started on something.
