A retrospective of my 2014 yarn crafting adventures and a look ahead to 2015. Recorded on Monday, December 29th, 2014. Released January 1, 2015 - Happy New Year!
You've Arrived At Your Destination 2014 Finished Objects (no, you cannot do the same organizing in the stash page that you can in the project page and queue) 4 pairs of socks - 3 for me, 1 for Carlos 2 sweaters - Hitofude and Ginny's Cardigan 3 kids' sweaters 1 hat 1 cowl 1 bedspread
I mention The Knit Girllls Stash Dash, the Prairie Girls Knit & Spin podcast and their "Legend-Prairie" project.
14 WIPs started in 2014 Oranje Elfe Pomme de pin 6 pairs Socks, socks and more socks 2 hats 1 Kids' sweater 1 pair mitts 1 shawl
Rearview Mirror - 2014 Goals Bring back old WIPs - of the 12 FOs this year, 3 were old WIPs, but the Mario Blanket should count for quite a few! More socks for me - 3 new pairs added to the sock drawer Thoughtful with yarn purchases - I did well up until recently Expand my skills The one I couldn't remember was to knit more sweaters for myself - finished 2 and cast on 3 more
Trip Planner - 2015 Goals
Knit through my 30 (!!) WIPs - tackle them one at a time to chip away at them Knit from stash Knit from pattern library More socks for Carlos Sweater or vest for Carlos Finish cross stitch projects
Road Map to Achieve 2015 Goals Search within myself - a theme for me both inside and outside my crafting life Shopping from my WIPs, stash and pattern library
Road Trips CT Sheep and Wool Stitch n Pitch Stitches East (which, sadly, has been cancelled for 2015 in Hartford) Rhinebeck
Thank you to all of you for a wonderful 2014 and a great year for the podcast despite the bumpy ride
