This Knitter's 2012 List

Yesterday I flipped through a copy of The Knitter's Life List by Gwen W. Steege.  I was at the library - supposedly doing some work to prep the business for the new year, but really, I was basking in a little quiet time and trying to wrap my head around all that happened in 2011 and get a grip (yeah, right) on the new year.

The book had some really nifty and innovative ideas and I'm a sucker for a check-list - nothing makes me happier than crossing things off the to-do list.  Sometimes I write things on my daily list that I've already done, just so I can cross it off.  (sad but true confession).

Here's a list of intentions for my yarn-life in 2012:

• create one intarsia-something - hat/mittens/scarf
• improve my color skills - instead of relying on the yarn to change colors, do it myself
• make a sweater that I'm  happy to wear (right now I'm leaning toward a 3/4 sleeve cardigan)
• get the designs perfected and then the goodies listed on my etsy shop
• attend at least one fiber show
• meet more local fiber heads in the area
• start a monthly gathering for knitters and crocheters

On another note - here's that scarf I made for Michael - he even agreed to model it for me. (isn't he adorable?)
