I am especially appreciating it this year, as the visiting and socializing started in mid-September around here, continuing at a steady pace of one event (at least) every two weeks till the end of December. This whirlwind of socializing (for me at least) culminated in a 2200 mile (round trip), ten day, road trip to visit my in-laws over Christmas.
Today is the day to start putting the house back in order, to plot and plan the crafting for the year, and randomly, popping ice out of the mail box so it will close. Yay Idaho!
My list of knitting projects to finish this year has about forty items on it, my announced goal is twenty-five projects. I managed twenty-nine completed projects last year, my goal was fifteen. I actually got mad at myself for a minute for not hitting a full thirty projects completed (200% sounded far better than 193% to my brain).
The supplies for all this knitting, except for the yarn for this lovely cloak, are kitted up and ready to go, (or already on the needles).
The sewing projects list has a dozen things on it. Quite a few of those projects just requiring details like hems or patch pockets. This list is flexible, especially since I have been contemplating another attempt at corset making.
The real goal for me this year? Work with the supplies you have.
One of the first things likely off the needles will be the first Lisbeth set, which was fabulous travel knitting, when I had time to knit:
Please remember that a little bit of kindness goes a long way! May good things find you and yours this year!
