Crafting Goals Update

I thought it was about time I reviewed my crafting goals, and checked up on how I am doing...

Knitting goals

  • Colourwork. Check - colourwork hat made, pattern and yarn available for another *grins*


  • Socks with an actual pattern. In progress - boyfriend's second pair of socks have a small cable pattern. Not much, but it's a start!

  • Cabling without a cable needle. See above, cable pattern on boyfriend's socks is being completed without a cable needle
  • Using stash. I'm posting on this one separately ;) 
  • Finish up my WIPs. This was particularly directed at my fuzzy ballet sweater, which is finished. I think as a goal this now needs rewording to "don't let WIPs get out of control" *laughs*


  • Make more garments. I've nearly finished my Shalom, I've cast on for a vest and I have plans, yarn and patterns for a few more garments that I am keen to get started on. This is definitely something I'm keeping in mind when planning my next projects. 

Non-knitting goals
  • Continue with the Cook from Cookbook (or magazines) challenge. I posted about this yesterday, and I really need to pick it back up as I have been slacking a bit on this point lately. 
  • Make some projects from my World of Geekcraft book, which will involve new skills and new crafts. Haven't done anything with this yet, but still planning to ;)
  • Get better at crochet. Hmmmm, yeah, I'm trying but it really hasn't clicked the way knitting did *laughs*

  5. A great set of goals! Don't you just love being able to check one off? I didn't know how fun it would be until I started. Also, you have made decent progress on all of them and it is only March!

  6. Good job on your goals, all those projects look stunning. You're much farther on your goals than I am. I bet you'll have the whole list done by the end of the year :)

  9. That hat's fantastic, and I love the sweater!! Isn't cabling without the cable needle the best? It feels like magic when you do it. =)

  10. I've been a bit lax on the cooking front of late as well - give me a couple of months and you won't be able to stop me, as my new kitchen is twice the size of the current one!

  11. All your projects look incredible! The color work is something I may never understand. Socks may be in my future. And yes, keep your WIPs under control!
