I freely admit that I'm likely out of mind in thinking that I'll maintain this blog, but I want to give it another go. However I'm not going to stress too much about it if I don't.
What I'm planning for 2011
- April - going to Tasmania for a holiday. At this stage I've just booked the ferry both ways and haven't really planned my route.
- November - going away for my yearly destress week. I'm thinking the Dandenongs this year. Plenty of time for planning though.
Crafting wise
- I really want to practise socks next year. I've got in a stash of the appropriate yarn (and will likely buy more) and have selected some pretty patterns that I either want to do immediately, or to work up to doing later in the year. I'll have to see how I go.
- I also want to get better at colourwork over a variety of projects so I'm looking at patterns which I can do this with. I'm going to try to incorporate steeking where I can (just seems a natural fit really) so I can learn/ practise that as well.
- Finally, I want to learn to spin on a spindle. I picked up a basic one at Bendy in 2009 but have never used it. Then at Bendy this year I bought some fibre to spin. Once again, nothing was done. 2011 I want to take a stab at it.
I'm not deluding myself for a second that I'll just knit from a single tub.
(I already know of something that I'm going to need to buy for a certain pair of socks. I've got something on order but I don't think it'll arrive in time so I'll have to either buy something else, or think of a different angle of attack that'll require me to pull in something else from stash)
There's also a few yarn clubs I've joined as well as the temptation of the 'oh-so-shiny' that will just throw themselves into my arms and beg to be bought.
Anyway, this is my tub at present. I'll try to update regularly on my progress.
