2009 Knitting Resolutions – Wrap up

2009 is over and gone, and I’m going to check through my list and see how I’ve done.
1. Clear the WIP queue from last year by the end of the month.
There’s still one outstanding WIP from 2008 in my queue, but otherwise, I did pretty well on the clean-up!  We’ll consider this one not complete, [...]

September Knitting Wrap-up

YES!  September is already over – can you even believe it?  The weather got cool so quickly, I feel like fall just came around and slapped me in the face with a wet trout.  Or assaulted me with acorns.  No wait, that was the squirrels.  Anyway, on to the knitting!
Just going back, again, to the [...]

Did it again. Seven pairs so far (well Eight if you count the ones I’ve already finished for August), and I can’t wait to get to December and post all twelve of [...]

April and May wrap-up

Hah, I knew at one point during the year, I’d miss a month or get lazy or even give up completely on the resolutions.  So far, though, doing okay, and still chugging along.
Going back in time to January again for the knitting resolutions..
2. Knit two sweaters this year
Started one. It’s tough knitting a sweater in [...]

March Wrap-up

It’s time for another look at the knitting resolutions.
1. Clear the WIP queue from last year by the end of the month.
March down too, little to no progress.  Maybe by the end of the year eh?  I’ve re-started work on the lingering pair of socks that were struggling with second sock syndrome and should be done [...]

February wrap-up

Still working on the knitting resolutions!
1. Clear the WIP queue from last year by the end of the month.
February is gone and I haven’t really made any headway there.  I managed to start way too many new projects at once and not make any real progress on any of the big ones.  I did knit three hats [...]
