At the beginning of the year, there was much discussion in my knitting groups and on Ravelry about goals for the coming year. Last year, I tackled 12,447 yards of yarn with knitting, crochet, and weaving projects. There were times when I was scrambling, but overall the year went pretty smoothly.
I participated in The Knit Girllls 5K over the summer and that got me halfway through the yardage requirements alone. I've also been doing my own self imposed sock yarn club with a few girlfriends in which I have completed every month. We were inspired by the one that the Yarn Harlot created for herself two years ago. It's worked out; I'm finally making a dent in the sock yarn stash. I met all of my goals last year.
To make myself more accountable and to share what you may expect to see here over the next 12 months, I thought that I would share my 2012 goals. Without further ado, they are:
- Finish the Adeline blanket. (More on that project soon!)
- Complete the Sky Scarf project. (More on that project soon!)
- Continue my self imposed sock club. (Every month!)
- Knit more items that I've had marked for years! I keep post-it noting, printing, and storing the patterns. There is no time like the present.
- Try to knit more patterned socks. Seriously, I don't need more plain vanilla socks. Patterns, even more stripes, would be nice.
- And finally....Knit/Crochet/Weave 12,000 yards in 2012. Any type of project as long as there are 12,000 yards at the end of the year.
