Just a short post to tell you my plans for this new year. I think I've told you before that the year will be one of the best--Maybe it's too early to tell, but I can feel it. Can't you?
Basically, my goals are to (1) get some old projects off the shelf, (2) start and finish some new projects, and (3) write more, whether it's a silly novel or new knitting patterns. More specifically:
Knitting that needs to get off the shelf, already:
- Lace-leaf pullover, by Teva Durham.
- Malt jacket, from Rowan 42.
- Adam's sweater vest, aka [dotless] Dotty, by Kaffe Fasset
- Flicca coat, by Anna Bell
- Tangled yoke cardigan, by Eunny Jang
- Gathered pullover, by Hana Jason
- At least 3 new original patterns.
- A novel I began scribbling in grade school.
I think I can do all of this. More soon!

I just re-read my goals and realized I forgot something! I mean, I told you that not all of my goals were knitting related. Yet, here, I've only listed the knitting-related ones! (Not including this novel I've mentioned a couple times... haha)
So, a 2008 non-knitting goal:
Sew this lovely frilled dress: no. 7 frilled one-piece from Simple Chic by Machiko Kayaki, using a frumpy deep blue silk dress that I've never worn.
I've never sewn garments from scratch before, so this will probably be one of the more challenging goals for 2008. (What if I cut the pattern out wrong?!) Of course, it doesn't help that the pattern notes are in Japanese... It should be interesting.
