I started a new blog because I wanted to keep our friends and family updated on our life and it's happenings. I like to think of this as a way to journal and document our children's milestones as well. I also want to write product reviews, crafts and Pinterest successes (and fails), etc. But of course, if you know me, I will likely continue to write about knitting.
Two years ago, I discovered a group on Ravelry (social media/pattern database for knitters and crocheters) where each participant makes a list of what they would like to accomplish craft wise over a years time. I joined and the past two years have always lost steam, at least when it comes to blogging about my projects. I decided to try again but I wouldn't make a list of projects, just a general list of categories and then see how they will up over the year. It appears many members of the group have taken this approach too!
Here are my categories:
Sweaters/Cardigans
-I would like each member of my family to have one...that's 4.
Shawls
-I like the idea of shawls though am unsure if I can pull off wearing them. I still want to knit them though.
Socks
-at least a pair
Tunic
-to wear over leggings
Gloves/Mittens
Hats
Whatever Else??
Who knows what will happen this year?! Come back and visit once in awhile (hopefully most Sundays) and watch my list grow!
Welcome back! I lost steam last year too - in terms of blogging not knitting. Having general categories is a great idea! Best of luck to you. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress!
ReplyDeleteLovely to have you back and can't wait to see what the categories get filled up with.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to go with just a rough outline of projects..welcome back to blogging and it will be fun to follow along as your list fills up..
ReplyDeleteWelcome back. I'm not too sure about wearing shawls either, but I find rectangular laceweight scarves make for great accessories. I did Clapotis and Lace Ribbon patterns from Knitty last year and would recommend both!
ReplyDeleteWelcome. I think a blog is a great way to not only share your interests but to also chronicle the ohana. I have a bad memory so I find it a useful tool for my daughters to read back upon one day.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great list, and I agree that's it's much easier to stay on track with a list of categories, rather than a list of projects. I think general aims is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI have crocheted three or four shawls, and I really never use them.. They're just fun to make and that's fine :D
