New year, new resolutions? Nah. I'm one of the many who don't bother, my reason being that I probably won't keep them anyway. However, the only real one I can think of actually fulfilling is to finish at least SOME of the wips and ufos languishing in my house, frog those three sweaters which I will probably never wear AND use up at least 50% of my yarn stash. Okay so now that does sound like a resolution. Hm.
I finished the test knit I was working on for a fellow Ravelry member, but since the pattern is not out yet, can't really blog about it. Bummer. Except to say it is gorgeous, and I love the magenta like shade of merino I made it in, which is now, sadly, discontinued. Also, since the good folks at knitpicks have raised their prices, I hope my yarn splurges will stop, temporally at least. I bought enough wool of the andes worsted to make three sweaters last year, but other projects got in the way....which hopefully will be off the needles by January. It's SO cold, I wish I had finished some :(
K's due date is tomorrow, and her baby blanket is coming along nicely- I'm on block 10 of the length (had CO for 11 blocks width wise), but I think I may need to add a couple more blocks to make it look more square.
What have you been working on?
Sounds like you've got a lot of knitting to be getting on with!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to work my way through my Colette sewing handbook and the other patterns I have by them I haven't made yet. I've also signed up for a free quilting class on Craftsy...I think I have a lot on my plate already this year!
:) I know the class you mean, and I'm excited to learn quilting too. Craftsy is great, I also signed up for some classes there. Lets hope we both see some of our 'resolutions' through!
