Knitting Challenges for 2011

Well I have set myself a goal to learn the following techniques / make these items in 2011:

• Make some Adult Socks - 2 at a time Magic Loop
• Make something with Cables
• Make something using Lace work eg. shawl / wrap
• Make myself  a Sweater
• Knit up a few of my "vintage" patterns
• Recycle/reclaim yarn from an old sweater and make a new item for one of the girls

I also intend to publish more free patterns this year, I have a few in progress and just need to chart them out.

2011 - Eek It's Here Already!

Well I humbly apologise for not having posted since August 2010....
I am making my New Years resolution to make at least one post every month.

So whats new here....

I am back at work - I decided to go back part-time as a Contractor which suits me well. The happy medium : 20 hours a week at work provides Adult conversations and brain stimulus but I also have time to spend with the kids!

Alice is no longer a baby! She's a Toddler and is walking, she turned 1 in November
Cara is growing up even faster and is almost four!


Here are a couple of Knitting acheivements from 2010:

I won third Prize in the Hawkes Bay A&P Show for this Bulky Kids Tunic.

I completed my first Intarsia Project

I tried to learn Crochet for the edging of my first earflap hat

I dyed my own yarn

I started making Stitchmarkers

And Project Bags

I made many items this year and increased my knitting knowledge by 1000%, I made a ton of new knitting friends via Ravelry and in the HB knitting Group. I look forward to what 2011 brings.
