2016 Goals Round Up
2016 has been quite the year. I moved, and did quite a few other things. But lets look back at all the things I plotted back out in Jan.
Knitting Goals
1. Year of the Sweater- One Sweater every two months *finger crossed* - Royale started body is about 3″ still. Cabeladabra became my Rhinebeck sweater and there was really just lots of frogging otherwise. Stonecutter, and Kitra both need to be tried again. I do have part of Ommegang and part of Artichoke french again in black. I mean that is six sweaters attempted….
2. A pair of socks - A girl can dream - apparently it wasn’t that far fetched. Two pairs of socks done. Three more on the needles, because my startitis is strong.
Spinning Goals
1. Learn supported spindling
2. Get a supported Spindle and bowl
3. Spinning down the fiber stash or at least spin more than I take in. Well I added a little to the stash at VKL but have quite a few spindles in progress so maybe? I haven’t finished anything yet but have five or six projects going right now. So that would be staying on track sorta-ish.
Sewing Goals
1. Finish my Dress
2. Sew some new bag styles
3. Learn some new skills
4. Sew more in general
Shop Goals
1. Continue to grow the inventory (I’d like to add notions and other sized bags to the shop as well) Done!
2. New Logo (More a new take on the current owl than a full revamp) - Have contacted an artist and everything!
3. A couple more craft shows, still looking for the holiday market that fits
4. Better tracking of things to make 2016 taxes easier.
Life Things
1. Organize Stashes (Fabric, Yarn, Fiber, Beads) - they were packed does that count
2. Go through the wardrobe and donate/trash clothes - First round done
3. Donate some books
4. Pack
5. Move
