Goals for 2008
The new year has begun and I'd like to set some goals for myself.
In 2007, I bought myself a spinning wheel. I didn't use it much this year but I'd like to do that this year. My goal shouldn't be to demanding but I'd like to try to spin 4oz a month and thus reduce my roving stash a bit. I would like to improve my spinning and try to learn to spin different weights of yarn, not just thin.
Last Christmas I received a sewing machine. During 2007 I greatly improved my fabric stash and this year I'd like to use more of it up. I'd also like to get better at sewing and be more comfortable using my sewing machine.
I've accumulated a lot of sock yarn in 2007. I would love to be able to use a lot of it up by knitting at least one pair of socks a month and maybe 2. In 2007 I was able to knit 17 pairs, I aim for 20 in 2008.
I'd like to finish at least 2 big projects (finish the Tree Jacket and the Comfort Shawl) and a few non-sock smaller projects. I'd love to do more fair-isle and more lace.
I'd like to be able to spread my time more evenly between knitting, sewing and spinning and still spend time doing other things like cooking, reading and exercising.

Well - those all SOUND good to me (which is why I don't make goals)! Welcome back!

Ambitious, but doable (I think - did you leave time for work and sleep?). Yes, this also showed up in bloglines - yay!! As did Girl Who Knits (alao on blogspirit, also not showing up in bloglines for ages).

Great goals! Another of my blogging friends assigns one night for quilting, another for personal knitting, another for charity knitting, and so on... Maybe that would help you spread your time out evenly.

Personally, I think you should spend some more time with your husband! ;)

Good luck with your goals. I'm amazed at all of your sock knitting! I hope to do more sock knitting in the new year as well. ;)

Wow... lots of goals! But good for you! I am doing the sewing thing, too. Already made 2 things... one came out Ok, the other not so Ok. We'll see :)

Sound like good goals to me! I second the spinning one; my goal is to spin every Sunday! Can't wait to see the socks you'll knit :)
