Now that it's a new year, I thought it would be appropriate to make some changes to the blog. First off, I'm going to retire "Ten on Tuesdays" and "Miniature Mondays", at least for the time being. A few of the new things I'm adding are:
- A Knit Meter - I've decided that this year I want to keep track of how much yarn I actually knit through. This will not include any crochet projects, just knitting ones.
- My Mom and I are starting a small crochet afghan group and I will probably share my progress each week. The afghan is going to be made up of 12 different squares and we're planning on doing one each week. I haven't made a full-sized afghan before so this is pretty exciting for me! I think it will be a great help to have the group support so that I don't give up half-way through as I've been known to do before....
- One of my New Years Resolutions is to craft for charity, so I'd like to share my progress to help keep me on track. Right now I'm thinking I will blog about a charity each month that I'm contributing to and the projects I make for it, since I'd like to make it a monthly thing.
- A yarn review every once in a while. This year I want to try more new yarns and I thought it would be fun to share my opinions.
Happy Knitting!!
From what I hear, you can use a fishing line 'measure' thingy (yeah, very technical!) to measure your yardage rather than buy one specifically for yarn. I saw one at Walmart for under $20 :)
ReplyDeleteGood for you on being creative w/your blog and trying out new things.
ReplyDeleteI love the hearts and owls! Those are great plans. My parents afghans were 12 squares of crochet and I really enjoyed them!! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a great suggestion Leanne!! I'll have to look for one next time I'm there!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kekumukula! I'm always up for trying out new things, it helps keep life interesting for me ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Suzanne! I've always been a fan of owls. lol I'm really excited for the afghan, I have to admit I was inspired by the ones you made, they were so gorgeous!!
