Nothing Like Planning Ahead
It's May, and I think it's fair to say that I'm a bit behind on my 12 12s for the year. So what am I doing? Planning my challenge for next year. Because I really, REALLY do not have a brain in my head. See that "12s" list on the right? See where it says "12 Christmas ornaments - 1 done?" Notice how I'm already a bit behind there? Well, next year my goal is make 365 ornaments . Yeah--because I'm managing so well on 12. It has a lot to do with this: which is my one lapse on the crafting-book ban. I just love this book, and want to knit straight through it, which is fine. It also has a lot to do with how much fun I had with the mitten ornaments last year, and what great gifts they made, and the fact that I was able to track down (and found in my stash) lots of glittery Christmas yarn just screaming to be used. The BIG reason, however, is both to do something fun and to push myself to try new things. For se...
