Knitting Goals for 2007

January 2nd, 2007

After taking a couple of months off from posting here at Blacksheep I think I have decided to start re-posting here again. Taking a couple of months off has really helped me gain some much needed perspective on why I started a knitting blog in the first place. I started BlackSheep because I wanted a place to organize my knitting projects and thoughts. Last year I kind of let everything fall by the wayside and I really didn’t do a very good job of updating. But things are going to be different now!

Here are some knitting goals for 2007:

1. Finish up all of the W.I.Ps that have been gathering dust. The first thing I am going to finish is the Slytherin Scarf for my poor hubby. Then I will finish Loll. Then I will finish the Learn to Knit Afghan. I’m sick of having these things linger over my head. It’s time to get this shit DONE.
2. I want to make the goal that I’m not going to buy yarn. But I don’t know if I can go that far. I think that what I want to do is use yarn from my stash as much as possible. I have yarn for several projectst that I want to use up before I rush out and buy more. This year I will decrease my stash.

   I have to say, I really dislike having a yarn stash. I know I’m going to sound crazy. But it kind of stresses me out. I feel like I have things hanging over my head that I have to get done when I have a stash and that makes me stressed. So this year I will dig into the stash.

3. Keep this blog and website organized. Use it for it’s intended purpose. I have placed a list in the sidebar of what I am currently working on and what I plan to do. I also updated the Gallery. I tried to put most of the major projects from 2006. I really wasn’t as productive as I was in 2005!

So thanks to all of you for sticking with me . Happy 2007!
