The Post In Which I Check In On Create for March

Three months ago, I shared that my word for this year is create. I also shared some goals to go along with my word create. It's time to check in again.



~Design & publish at least six knitting patterns.
*Self-published Rescue Me, Chin Boy, and Show Me the Stars (Doctor Who Inspired Socks) on March 29th and it has been truly amazing! Thank you so, so, so, so, so, so, so much to everyone who has purchased, queued, favorited, etc. my new pattern.
*Writing & knitting another pattern right now (a baby blanket).
*Two hat patterns need to be written up and given to test knitters so I can release them hopefully by the end of April.
*Have an idea for the another pattern, but it's only in the sketching stage.

~Knit enough pairs of socks that I can stop wearing store bought ones.
*Four pairs completed for me. And another pair on the needles now.
*Plus one pair for a friend.

~Knit my second ever sweater.
*Looked through some patterns. Haven't found the right one yet. The actual knitting won't occur until after we move to Scotland.

~Knit at least six preemie hats to donate to charity.
*2 down, 4 to go.

~Consistently journal.
*Continuing to journal almost daily even if it's just a few sentences each day.

~Continue keeping a list of the eucharisteo/gifts/joys/Thanksgivings in my life.
*Over #1900 now.
