So, let's have a look.
- Spend at least two hours a week knitting. I'm revising this to 20 minutes a day for at least five days of the week. Which is slightly less than two hours, but hey.
Learn at least three new things (techniques, stitches, cast-on etc)DONE!
- Destash! Not buying any new a) lace or b) sock yarn until what I have is at least half gone. ... yeah, that's not gonna happen. (And after buying Knitting Rules! by The Yarn Harlot earlier this summer, I feel a lot less bad about that.)
Un-WIP Heartland ShawlDONE!
- Un-WIP Leafy Lace Cardi. Erm. It's still a vest. I've done the ribbing and maybe two repeats on one of the sleeves, but I feel like I should redo it because I think the gauge is way off. Besides, it's a spring cardigan, anyway. Spring 2012...?
- Un-WIP Nereid fingerless glove (the other one was finished absolutely yonks ago). Urgh. I should just cowboy up and DO it, because it's at least half done and wouldn't even take long at all, but I have nooooo desire to.
- Un-WIP Alice Queen of Hearts mitts. It's possible I have started this. Barely. But it's underway.
Knit Peacock ShawletteDONE!
- Knit Skew socks. I'm skurrrrred of magic looping socks. It does not sound appealing. I need to wait until I'm brave enough.
- Knit Cold Mountain. Not yet. Maybe in green? Or dark pink? (As a side note, I am so in love with all of Kieran Foley's patterns. Europa (the crescent version) is very high up on my todo list.)
- Knit Riff. Uh. Socks. Right. I have no excuse for this. Fail.
Knit at least two request knits.DONE!
- Knit at least one more pair of socks. Yeah, no. This hasn't happened. I doubt it will.
- Knit at least one colourwork item. If I can churn out those mitts...
- Knit something beaded. Yes! It's underway! I have no idea why I started it, but there's something and it's about halfway done.
- Write at least one blog post a month. Hopefully this will force me into actually having something to write about.
- Don't have more than three things going at once. (Currently, I have... let's see... counting that poor cardi, six. This is not good for my WIP to FO ratio.)
So, this counts as the August blog post. See you for the September one.
