As I am writing this post, I my knitting basket staring at me. If my knitting basket was a person, and looks could kill, I would be dead. Two rather innocent projects- a blanket and a sock- are still unfinished, even though they have been a WIP for several months.
I really enjoy knitting, I do. But sometimes, when life gets stressful or busy, knitting is cast aside for other things. I was inspired by the Yarn Harlot’s Self-Imposed Sock Club for my first 2012 resolution.
One of my 2012 resolutions is to knit 1 project or finish 1 knitting project a month. That’s plenty of time to start and finish a knitted gift for Christmas, or reach the end of an old project.
The first thing that will be ticked off the list is that blanket I have been making since 2010. It’s a large project, so it will be the only knitted thing worked on all January. I know for sure that this is a reasonable goal and something that I can achieve.
What sorts of resolutions/goals do you have so far?
I have many resolutions! One is to finish redoing my craft space, which has been an “on hold” WIP for months…
As far as specific to KNITTING goes – I never finished my cats christmas stocking! Finished all the color work (red and white with colorwork fish, snow flakes, and pawprints) but after i turned the heel just… stopped. Don’t know what came over me, but it must be finished!
I’m excited to find your blog – it’s very cute, and I love the goats!
Cat Christmas stockings… what a fun-sounding thing to knit! Thanks for the compliment!
Hmmm, I don’t think I have any New Year’s resolutions! LOL. If I can survive knitting 100 more goats, then I guess that will be enough of an accomplishment to satisfy me.
