Happy New Year : RESOLVE
January 1st, 2009 at 12:06 am (blather)
I don’t blog much anymore; picture taking sometimes takes a lot of effort these days. A new camera might help with that; but I do have a few knitting related resolutions I’d like to document. I have more chance of making these resolutions stick than any others.
- I resolve to FINISH more projects. I tend to start a lot of projects; but not finish. I’m trying to get better about ripping out when I know I’ll never get around to it; and working on finishing what I have started.
- I resolve to BUY LESS yarn and roving. I want to work more from my stash. I do know I’ll buy a bit (esp with a trip to Madrona Fiber Arts Festival in the works for February), and having joined both a fiber of the month club and another sock fiber club (only every other month) I will have my stash grow some. But I’m going to work really hard at hesitating more before I buy.
- I resolve to knit more socks. I love my hand knit socks; esp when it’s cold! But in the summer time I usually have NO desire to knit socks for some reason. One of the clubs I joined for this year is a sock club and I’m going to work at combining #1 and #3 resolutions to work on this one and try and knit the socks up as soon as I get the kits.
That’s it. I’m not going to go nuts. If I succeed in my resolutions; I’ll have finished more stuff while buying less. If not, you can all shake your finger at me next year.
What are your new year’s resolutions related to knitting/spinning?
