Today felt like a good day for a New Year’s Resolutions <\/a>Checkup…
\n1. Knit one pair of socks two at a time.
\n– A friend of mine is doing this and it seems like kind of a tangled mess, so I’ve decided that I’m not that interested in this just now.
\n
2. Knit with 5 yarns I\u2019ve not tried before.
\n– Easiest Resolution ever!
\nBlue Ridge Yarns Jubilee – Dragon’s Breath
\"Dragon's
\n
Spud & Chlo\u00eb Fine – Cricket
\"Nephew\"
\n
Schaefer Yarn Company Heather – Apple Green
\"Lycaena
\n
Dizzylettuce Claire de Lune – Lichen
\"\"
\n
The Plucky Knitter Primo Fingering – Elegant Elephant
\"Gray
\n
3. Learn to cook 10 new healthy dishes.
\n– So far, I think I’ve only added one new dish and it is a pre-made salad from HeB that The Husband likes. Guess I better get to work on this one!
\n
4. Increase my machine sewing comfort level (from you know, almost none).
\n– no progress yet.
\n
5. Work on hand quilting. My current skill leaves something to be desired.
\n– 1\/3 of a blanket hand-quilted. slow and steady. (very slow)
\n
6. Do NOT buy any more items for wrapping gifts. My gift-wrapping supply inventory is starting to make my yarn stash seem sane.
\n– Other than one bag purchased on the way to a shower, I think I’ve stuck to this.
\n
7. Continue to enjoy driving my all electric Nissan Leaf. Spend all the oil change and gasoline money saved on more yarn!
\n– Have logged 36k + miles on my Leaf so far and I bought plenty of yarn this year. done.
\n
8. Pay more attention to the garden. More tomatoes. Less basil.
\n– Paid the same attention to my garden. Had more okra. no tomatoes. Did have less basil. The garden is covered for the freeze tonight. good enough.
\n
9. Read a few classics (3+) via audio books from the library.
\n– I don’t know if they’re classics, but I’ve read a ton of books this year, so I’m calling this done.
\n
10. Blog at least 6 times per month.
\n– I’m willing to call September close enough and October a mulligan. Getting back on track in November.
\n
11. Optional: Hunt down and buy a hank of Schaefer Yarn (leaning Heather) since there will be no more.
\n– done.
\n
12. 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.)
\n– I have not yet decided which way the wind will blow on this.
\n
