2018 was an.... interesting year. It had a lot of healing, and a lot of knitting!!
A friend and I have started meeting at a cafe and knitting all day on Saturdays. I didn't tally everything I knit this year, but since August I managed to pump out:
- 5 hats
- 4 pairs of fingering weight socks
- 1 pair of slipper socks
- 1 pair of fair isle mitts
so.... it's safe to say I don't have "I can't"as an excuse for not getting a TON of stuff done.
I have missed blogging over the last number of years that I have been ignoring it.
This year I thought I'd get started with some goals.
1. To blog once a week, likely on the weekends. That way I can keep track of how much I actually do this year, because I'm spotty at best of taking pictures of what I'm actually working on.
2. Complete the 2019 Make Nine challenge. I found this on Instagram through the Knitmore Girls and it really looks like something I need in my life. 9 projects to just work through and get done. My sewing confidence has gone down the tubes in the last 5 years and I really want to get back to the grind. Especially with working through some of the vintage fabrics I inherited from my grandmother.
My make nine snapshot is:
Two things I really want to learn this year is how to make a button up blouse that fits me without gaps and how to make pants that fit me nicely, possibly jeans.
3. This coming weekend I'm going into my craft room disaster and taking stock of all of my fibre. My goal for this year is to have most of what I currently own spun up and ready to be knit with next year. Stuff I get this year isn't in this list of must have done, it's just extra.
I think these three goals are doable. I have more personal goals that I will also be working on, but this is a crafting blog, so I'm going to keep it that way.
Here's to a wonderful 2019, I hope yours will be amazing.
