Like many YOP members, I created a MASSIVE list (I believe the original list included 35 items) and just knew I would get through them all.
LAUGH. OUT. LOUD.
I did not even finish HALF of my list, even after a few changes. I would say however, it has been a successful year of projects! I have been able to knit quite a few items, even with a one year old toddling around and am quite proud. It has been fun to learn new skills and 'meet' other fiber enthusiasts through their blogs.
Currently, I am working on knitting several Snuggle Sacks for a friend and co-workers and know that I will not touch my current YOP list before June 30th. I thought I would share with you one more time my Year of Projects list and all that was (or wasn't) accomplished:
Top 6 Blog A Long Picks:
*Aiden's Afghan (WIP)
*Fingerless Mitts for Me (12 for Self)
*Pillowcase for Bedroom (12 for Self)
*Socks for Me (12 for Self)
*Leg Warmers--inspired and motivated by a fellow blogger and Blog A Long member (12 for Self)
The In-Case I Finish List:
*Learn how to knit entrelac
*Breast Cancer Dishcloth
*Windmill Bag
*Baby Feet Dishcloth
Christmas 2011
(keeping this here as it was part of my original list...these are going to be moved to next year's YOP list I am sure!)
*Hawkeye Scarf--September 1st
*
*Jingle Bells Hat for Aiden--December 1st
*
*3 Hats--December 25th (For: Joshua, Jason, Daniel) One hat has been eliminated...
*Hanging Dishtowel for Z--December 25th
Final Tally: 13/30. Eek.
There you have it folks. The last time you will see this exact list. Several, if not most, of these items will be deleted. I am starting to realize I did not plan this list out very well. ;) Come back again to see my list of Year of Projects 12/13!!
I think that's why I wont join.... it's too disappointing to see how unproductive I am LOL :)
ReplyDeleteI blame it on all my friends that become pregnant and then I get sidetracked making them cute baby gifts :-P. I'm sticking to a much more slimmed down list this year to save room for the gift opportunities that aren't so predictable!
ReplyDeleteI did exactly what you did. Planned HUGE and finished small. That's ok, it gives a chance to come back next year and refine, remodify and make it through a much better planned out list.
