Looking back on 2009, I don’t feel like I accomplished a whole lot when it comes to knitting…. I took on two really big projects, my best friends wedding blanket and the Dr. Who Scarf. Between these projects I fell behind on a lot of other knitting I wanted to accomplish. It is time for some knitting resolutions.
In the midst of all of the knitting I started a few different projects and very few of them were finished. 2010 is going to be a year of finishing…. I hope! My goal for 2010 is for every two projects I finish, I can start a new one. Why am I writing this in the blog? It will never get done if I don’t put it in writing. I really would like to get a good chunk of these done this year, but I know that I will not complete all of them without starting at least 10 or 15 new projects along the way!
I would love to say that in 2010 I’m only knitting for myself. I said as soon as I was done with Christmas presents that would be the case, and it lasted an entire day! For that, I just have a goal of finishing some of my current projects. So what is on this long list of things, you ask? Here is the current WIP* list.
| July Rockin Sock Club Blues and Purples Blanket March Socks Frosted Flowers Big Purple Blanket Elmo |
Italian Shawl 2009 Socks Pretty Colors Blanket Leftover Sock Quilt Fair Isle Scarf Grandma’s Afghan |
Will all of these actually get finished in 2010? Probably not. I’d like to make a dent, especially in the blankets. All four of them will be amazing when they are done and I can’t wait to use them! On that note, I better go pick up a pair of needles.
Happy New Year!

[…] Looking back at 2010, I didn’t think straight when I wrote those resolutions… Somewhere in there I decided 2010 was the year of knitting for ME! I didn’t factor in the friends with babies or the weddings that might appear. […]
