I counted today, and I have seven WIP's, and I'm getting ready to cast on an 8th. I know I should finish them, but it's just so difficult. Does anyone else have that kind of issue? I love casting on and starting projects, but then I kind of tucker out about halfway through. Then I start making up excuses... "Well, it's a scarf, so it's a lot of knitting... ""Well, I'm improvising that design so it's okay..." "Well, I'm using size 1's on that, it's okay that it's not done..." Gah. It's terrible.
Anyway, I made some resolutions, and some fake resolutions! Here are the real, fiber-related ones first:
-Finish at least one project a month (even if I don’t start one a month…)
-Finish at least 90% of my 2010 UFO’s.
-Organize all of the yarn and the yarn area.
-Make at least one thing in several categories that I have not done yet: socks, sweater, lace, felting, bag…
-Learn to spin (I’ve got everything, I just need someone to teach me!)
-Knit socks both toe-up and top-down to see which I like better.
-Knit/crochet every day I can, even if it’s just a couple of stitches.
-Kit up as many yarns and patterns as I can.
Wow, that's actually a more substantial list than I meant to make...
Also, I'm making some "fake" resolutions. I'm taking part (again) in Mission 101, or 101 in 1,001. Basically, you think up 101 different clear, measurable goals and you then have 1,001 days to complete them all. I won't bore you with the whole thing, but I do have a few knitting related ones...
-Do/attempt self-imposed-sock-of-the-month-club
-Knit/crochet 10 things for someone else
-Knit/crochet 10 things for myself
-Knit/crochet 100 projects to completion
-Knit at least half of an afghan
-At least start the World Map afghan
-Reduce my yarn stash by 50%, at least
-Have a plan for the remaining 50%, even if it’s just “scrapghan” or “trade/gift”
-Knit a sweater
So that's that! I hope you all have a good year!
