I suppose it’s a little late to be making goals for the rest of the year, but I think I will accomplish very few of these before the new year, so it’s fine.
1. Learn how to crochet. Granny squares! I love them! And I really want to make a granny square infinity scarf. Plus whenever people say anything about crocheting I always say it seems so hard. I need to at least give it a try before I really decide. And granny squares!!
2. Knit socks with reinforcing thread. I don’t really like hand knit socks, but I really really hate socks with holes. Plus my parents both like hand knit socks and I want theirs to last as long as possible.
2. Use up at least 50% of the yarn I have with me. Most of it is sock/fingering weight, and we keep stopping at yarn stores, so that might be a little difficult, but I would really like it and I think Sam would too. And then I wouldn’t feel so guilty about getting the rest of my yarn.
4. Make some stitch markers. I have a lot of beads and I am constantly using rubber bands and safety pins because I only have like 4 real stitch markers.
5. Knit Christmas presents!! I have at least 4 hats and some coasters to knit, but probably more.
6. Start another sweater before January. I have two on the needles now (well three really, one has been hibernating a long time) and hopefully I can finish at least one of them by the end of the year.
7. Start trying out new techniques and try to memorize some. I only vaguely know how to provisional cast on, I just recently have the kitchner stitch cemented in my brain, but I really want to learn how to do it without a sewing needle. And other stuff like that.
I finished a hat, but didn’t take any pictures of it, but here’s a picture of the scarf I’m working on!
i wish you were here so we could learn how to crochet granny squares together:( maybe if you and sam are settled i can come visit over spring break or something.
