2007 Recap

As I did last year, here's my report on 2007.

2007 Stats:

• 2 hats
• 6 scarves (7, but about to frog one because it's too small)
• 4 pairs of socks
• 1 square
• 1 shawl (2 really, but I frogged one small one)

Much less than 2006.  Two of the scarves were for the Red Scarf Project and I'm proud of helping that terrific organization.  I also continued to grow as a knitter and spinner, took some interesting classes at TKGA and had many fun knit/spin dates.  So, let's see how I did with my goals.

2007 goals:

1. Knit hat for husband.  Must do.  Maybe not ribbed, but black.  Done! Ribbed AND black!
2. Finish or frog all unfinished projects.  End 2007 with only current projects on the needles.  Still working on this one, but only a few things in the queue.
3. Knit a lace triangle shawl or stole.  Done!  Knit Susan's Forest Canopy.
4. Learn to Navajo ply.  Done!
5. Knit five pairs of socks and knit at least one pair using a non-DPN method.  Close -- I knit four pairs.  I still want to learn either two circs or magic loop.
6. Knit Flyingdales cardigan before New Hampshire Sheep and Wool.  Nope!

I'm scaling down on goals altogether for 2008, as part of my overall goal/plan to be easier on myself. 

2008 goals:

1. Knit more with handspun.
2. Knit a sweater for me.
3. Knit a pair of socks using a non-DPN method.

Happy New Year!

Excellent goals. We really need to get you going with Magic Loop!

[Danielle]

Reasonable goals. You can pick up Magic Looping in no time! I knit some of my socks this way, and others on DPNs.

Being realistic rocks. It just plain FEELS better. I have to think about my knitting goals, now that you and others are doing this posting of intentions.

[Manise]

Great realistic goals!

Looks like you're going to have a good knitting year ahead (if you're knitting with your handspun - I love knitting with it!)
May it be a wonderful 2008 for you

Sounds like you got plenty done. I vote for the "more handspun" goal. It's one of mine also.

Those sound like reasonable goals. I'll even go for those myself, informally. The only knitting goal I formally set myself is to design my first triangular shawl -- which will involve knitting my first triangular shawl.
