Seven 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.
*Rescue Me, Chin Boy, and Show Me the Stars (Doctor Who Inspired Socks)
*Lola’s Ziga Zaga Scarf and Fingerless Gloves
*Baby blanket pattern will be reknit after the move for another new baby on the way and then sent to testers before publishing
*At least one sock pattern will be designed during the traveling for the move
~Knit enough pairs of socks that I can stop wearing store bought ones.
*Five pairs completed for me.
*Plus one pair for a friend and a pair for Damaris and a pair of baby socks as a gift and a pair of my RMCBASMTS as a shop sample
~Knit my second ever sweater.
*Looked through some patterns and I think I know which one I'm going to knit. The actual knitting won't occur until after we move to Scotland.
~Knit at least six preemie hats to donate to charity.
*2 done. I've slacked on this and don't know if I'll finish this goal.
*Damaris has knit 2 though which will be donated with my 2 for a total of 4 donated.
~Consistently journal.
*I've really slacked on this. Hoping to get back to this especially once we get to Scotland.
~Continue keeping a list of the eucharisteo/gifts/joys/Thanksgivings in my life.
*Almost to #2300.
