I think my resolutions this year are fairly straightforward and reasonable.
1) On the first of each month in 2009 I’ll start a lace project. I won’t start new ones in between. If I don’t get it done in that month it’s fine, it’ll just carry over to whenever I have free time. If I finish early it’s time to finish up all the other projects in progress! Perhaps I’ll start a KAL for such projects if no one’s made one yet.
2) I’m going to learn to spin. I’ve done a little with a drop spindle, but I want to learn to use a wheel, to create more than single-ply yarns, and make more consistently-sized yarn. I think my mom and I will be taking a course at Halcyon Yarn in Bath, ME, so that’s off to a good start.
I’ve got a few projects picked out already (though subject to change) for Resolution 1.
