I don't really believe in resolutions, but for the first time my head is filled with good intentions for the new year. I want to prioritize my health (like, go to the gym once in awhile), focus on my family's oral history project and pare down some of my stash (books as well as yarn).
I had a great heart-to-heart with my yarn stash and it has been decided that I can only buy for projects that I'm starting ASAP. Of course, I will not be so cruel as to keep myself from picking up pretty skeins from time to time with no purpose. However, there will be no scooping up of bags of yarn simply because they are on closeout. I work at WEBS, therefore this resolution is a big deal. So, so much yarn taunts me daily, I must be disciplined.
I recently learned that we are moving in a couple of weeks which necessitates paring down. My partner is a minimalist and I am a packrat, which lends itself to different interpretations to ownership and living space. I'm hoping a new place will be a new beginning.
That said, I am looking back at all my projects for this year, as so many knitters are and I do want to add a pictorial view of them. There are a few pictures missing, but it is a fairly comprehensive composite. Seeing the time line of projects really emphasizes how my skills have developed, particularly after my hiring at WEBS. What a difference it makes to be in a community of knitters!
I will put the pictorial in a second post, for fear of losing the text. As a neophyte blogger I am struggling with the posting pictures function, which has slowed my postings considerably. Any tips are welcome!
