2016 knitting goals

Well, here we are in 2016. Of course I have set knitting goals, who hasn't? We all say "no new years resolutions" and that is almost hard. I do prefer to have it set as Goals.

Knit the Almanac
- Yup, you heard me. I really want to knit the almanac. I don't anticipate this will be in order (I have already started the February Baby Sweater because I have a baby shower in late January. I have always considered myself a project knitter, and I really want to be more o a process knitter. It isn't about the finished object, it is about the journey. Yes, some of these projects will be for me, I will NOT be giving all of these away.

52 hats
- I would like to knit 52 hats. These will all be for PatPat's Hats . I am hoping to learn some new techniques and knit some of the hats that are on our PatPat's Hats pinterest board, also I would like to knit through a few books that I have. This book, Weekend Hat's has been in my library for a long time, and I haven't knit ANY of them.

52 Dishrags

 I know, silly right. But not really. I want to learn some new techniques. I hope that knitting dishrags will help me get better with my gauge swatches, I hope that it will help me get better with knit stitches. Oh, and I really love using my knit dishrags. These will likely become knitting Christmas gifts. 

Christmas Gifts

- I have found a number of yarn/knit crafts that I would like to use as Christmas gifts. Many of them are nice enough that I might even consider selling at craft fairs. My goal is to set 1 weekend day each month to work on these gifts. 

Yes, I know, it looks like a lot. It is a lot. Keep in mind that I have an hour of commuting every day on the train. I am also traveling cross country by train in March, I am SO excited. 

So, here we are. in 2016. What are your knitting Goals? If you want to join me on any of my journeys you can of course follow my blog, you can also follow me on Instagram.
