UK Swap. Topic of the week #1.
This post is for the first weekly topic of the UK Stash Swap


With 2008 in full-swing, do you have any knit-years resolutions you are trying to keep to? Stash-busting? Knitting just for yourself? Gift-alongs or starting Christmas knitting early? Do your knit-years resolutions affect your other resolutions? Such as watching your spending, or putting yourself first, or even loosing weight (yarn weight....)?

I don't really have much in the way of knitterly resolutions. Branching out from my singular knitting project (the family baby shawl) and my only crochet project (a giant granny square), I'm working on getting some variations into my knitting (and crochet). So far, it isn't going so badly. I'm just finishing off my first sock, I've almost finished a crocheted dishcloth and I'm almost finished a Shaun the sheep for my son.

More that anything, I'm glad I don't have to worry about stash-busting. Being fairly new to knitting, I don't have much of a stash, though it's still too much for my husband, who is planning some more storage for my various WIPs.

I try to never make any new year's resolutions with regard to my knitting.... it's almost guaranteed to end in failure, or to backfire. For example: one year I decided I had to finish a project before I could buy or start a new one. I ended up going on a non-knitting kick for the next 18 months. I only got back into knitting when I forgot my pledge & got excited about some new thing & started it. I really should look at reorganizing my stash though... I have it in several different spots in the home now & if I don't watch out, my place may be overrun with yarn, patterns & needles at some point ;-). (Reply to this) (Thread)
