Here's the plan:
Overall goal by the end of the year: get better at knitting
How I'm going to get there:
by pushing myself more. Making things I don't know I'm able to do.
Learn new techniques
learn different kinds of stitches
By the end of the year I want to :
1. Make 15 new items I haven't made before. (This can be different kind of stitches, a different item, etc.)
2. Learn 5 new kinds of stitches. (ex: brioche stitch, cable, seed stitch, etc.)
3. Make 3 somethings I would post on Instagram AND wear/use in public. (You don't have to post it on Instagram, but basically something you would be ok to be shown in the public).
I will try to share any successes and accomplishments on here. I think it's really important that I push myself with knitting. I might have to tighten up this goal at some point, but I am liking how it's starting. I already started making a bag from the book I picked up at the thrift store. It's kind of a complicated design, but I hope it works out ok. If not, that's ok! I'm trying. For awhile I'm going to take a break from making things for other people. I feel like I'm only comfortable doing that while making something I know I can do, and while I am pushing myself by trying to make multiple items that look similar, I'm not pushing myself in expanding my skills. I hope that I can accomplish this even though it can be hard to knit once school starts up again (I'm on winter break right now). I hope all my viewer had a good New Years. I did, thank you. You're welcome.

The bag I'm making. I LOVE THIS YARN. |
I got this yarn at Goodwill. It was in a bag full of yarn for $5. |
