How unlike me. But, I guess that means I did them all, so yay!<br \/>\nThis year, I&#8217;d like to:<br \/>\n1. Knit one pair of socks two at a time.<br \/>\n2. Knit with 5 yarns I&#8217;ve not tried before.<br \/>\n3. Learn to cook 10 new healthy dishes.<br \/>\n4. Increase my machine sewing comfort level (from you know, almost none).<br \/>\n5. Work on hand quilting. My current skill leaves something to be desired and I&#8217;m thinking about something like these for a 2014 project.<br \/><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/littleshika\/490678061\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/imagesCANNGF30.jpg\" alt=\"Cathedral Window Quilt\" title=\"Cathedral Window Quilt\" width=\"259\" height=\"194\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4114\" \/><\/a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/58453916\/christmas-ornament-holiday-ornament-blue?ref=sr_gallery_37&amp;ga_search_submit=&amp;ga_search_query=blue+christmas+ornament&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_ship_to=US&amp;ga_search_type=handmade&amp;ga_facet=handmade\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/imagesCAD71UGB.jpg\" alt=\"Blue Cathedral Window Quilt\" title=\"Blue Cathedral Window Quilt\" width=\"153\" height=\"153\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/imagesCAD71UGB.jpg 153w, https:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/imagesCAD71UGB-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 153px) 100vw, 153px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<br \/>6. Do NOT buy any more items for wrapping gifts. My gift-wrapping supply inventory is starting to make my yarn stash seem sane.<br \/>\n7. Continue to enjoy driving my all electric Nissan Leaf. Spend all the oil change and gasoline money saved on more yarn!<br \/>\n8. Pay more attention to the garden. More tomatoes. Less basil.<br \/>\n9. Read a few classics (3+) via audio books from the library.<br \/>\n10. Blog at least 6 times per month.<br \/>\n11. Optional: Hunt down and buy a hank of Schaefer Yarn (leaning Heather) since there will be no more.<br \/>\n12. Optional: Knit a cranberry and popcorn garland for the tree next year. (might just end up making a real one if I run out of time. ahem. you know, like, if I spend the whole year knitting socks.)<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.simplyvintagegirl.com\/blog\/index.php\/2008\/12\/04\/a-homemade-christmas-7-popcorn-and-cranberries\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/PopcornandCranberries1-300x201.jpg\" alt=\"PopcornandCranberries\" title=\"PopcornandCranberries\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4124\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/PopcornandCranberries1-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/PopcornandCranberries1.jpg 575w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n13.
