Months later….

While it’s hard to believe that it’s already July(!!!) – it’s not hard at all to believe that it’s been 5+ months since I’ve posted here.

I was taking a class at a teachers conference about using Blogging in the Classroom for Education and Activities… and was reminded that I have a blog already. Silly me- it’s funny how things slip your mind.

The Fiddlehead Mits that I talked about last month are more than just skeins of yarn and a pattern these days. They’re actually two mittens- that just need a lining knit it. 🙂 They were a fun knit.

The last real FO I created was my Frog Prince. He was a blast. I love small detailed work – gives both instant gratification as well as detailed work that keeps my interest.

I was looking back at my first post of the year- and thought I might update you (me) on my Knitting Resolutions….  while I did already explain to you all the ways I would get around my resolutions – I should probably refresh myself anyways with my ideas.

Resolution #1 – Knit something for my self using my stash yarn.

Progress- I haven’t knit anything for myself this year from my stash.  HOWEVER- I did organize my stash.

Resolution #2 – Only buy yarn for specific projects.

Progress- I’ve only bought a few skeins (a few being less than a dozen) of yarn this year in total. All but a few of those few have been bought for specific projects.  I’ve missed yarn shop crawling-  but can’t justify buying yarn to stick it in a bin.

Resolution #3 – Learn to crochet.

Progress- I still have July, August, September, October, November and December to learn.

Resolution #4 – Knit for charity, once a month.

Progress- I still have July, August, September, October, November and December to knit. If I double up… maybe I can consider this a success! 🙂

So all in all… I haven’t been knitting very much lately.  Think I should fix this …. soon!
