I use
Knitmeter.com to keep track of how much I knit on various garments. I usually don't update my projects there until I finish a skein of yarn (for multi-skein projects) or until I finish a garment (for single skein projects). On Saturday evening, Knitmeter informed me that in 2011 I had knit 24,788 yards. That's 14.1 miles! A pretty productive year, I'd say.
I'm making knitting plans for 2012. So far, I plan to knit 12 shawls (but only 12), at least one sweater, and several pairs of socks. The sweater will be mine. So will a pair or two of socks, and probably a few of the shawls. The rest will undoubtedly be Christmas and birthday presents.
What are your knitting plans for 2012?

Wow, I can't wait to see you knit up 12 shawls! With two small children along with being a tenure-track faculty member, my goal for 2012 is to finish at least 6 knitting or crochet projects. Under the circumstances, that is probably all I can manage. ;)
ReplyDeleteMy goal last year was to knit 11 shawls, and I finished with 24 of them. But I knit mostly shawls and socks. This year, 12 shawls, several pair of socks, and two sweaters are my goal. Time will tell if I'm able to achieve that goal.
ReplyDeleteI think setting realistic goals and trying to achieve them is the important thing. It gives us something to aspire toward.
