Knitting Resolutions

In the spirit fo the day and the faint whisps of snow falling outside my window, and even the nice cleanness of my apartment (although far from being finished it is nice to be this clean) and of course because next to me, curled up in her favorite blanket (yup she has a favorite) is my lovely Lilu, I've decided to make a list of knitting resolutions:

  1. Knit Fearlessly. I know that this was the theme for many around the web for last years resolutions, but I did not partake. I do tend to knit what I want and not shy away from things, however, there are times that I do things, say cast on the way I always do, instead of casting on with the way the pattern tells me to.
  2. Knit down the stash. I, like many other knitters, have an affliction. I have a HUGE collection of yarn. I love buying it and looking at all the pretty colors and inspiration. But before I got buying more yarn, for small or large projects, I want to knit down some of it. Making things with the yarn I have before going off and staring more projects.
  3. Knit a lace shawl or lace object. It's difficult, its hard, but it looks so cool when its done, so I must be fearless, and knit one up.
  4. Knit my Jacket. I have had a project on my list for over a year now, its a long coat, I hope to get this knitted up this year.
  5. Knit Family Stockings. Knit some family stockings for Angie and her family, it's a belated belated Christmas present.
  6. Toys and knacks. I always find them so cute and fun, I want to do more little things, toys, dolls, knick-knacks, and give them to folks as little presents, or store them up until next Christmas/Birthdays and get them out the door.
  7. Animal Scarfs. I have two scarfs that I want to do, chicks and rats (odd I know but those are perfect for some friends of mine) and I keep putting it off, so I should get it done.

I think that's it, or at least for now. I'm sure I will come up with millions more but that's the current list.

Happy knitting New Year!
