I'm the worlds worst blogger. I always want to be one of those people (I admire them so much) who can write a witty, interesting and touching little statement on the human condition, 5 to 7 days a week. But I just can't do it. I'm lucky if I can add a blog post once every couple of months. I was always like that with a diary too, as long as I can remember. When I was a teen (and even in my twenties) I would but these beautiful note books, hoping to fill them with pithy remarks, beautiful memories, etc., and after about 3 pages of total drivel, they would end up collecting dust on a shelf. It's just not in me, as much as I wish it was.

But ...

I have thought of a useful role for this blog, so let's see if I can actually make it happen.

I want to record my knitting goals for each month and then check in periodically to see if I'm reasonably on track. The reason for this is that I don't like how many projects I have sitting in the pile, half finished. It's starting to make me feel guilty about my knitting, since some of the projects are for other people who have been waiting for ages. And the last thing I need is to feel guilty about knitting. I figure maybe if I can set a couple of goals for myself I will have a little more direction and will get a bit more done, rather than just starting project after project.

For January, I would like to:
Finish the vanilla socks I'm making for Tim
Finish the socks I started for Denise. Sadly, this involves ripping back to the gusset, which is why they've been set aside for the last 2 weeks. But it needs to be done.
Get back to work on Laura's sweater. I don't know if I can actually finish it this month, but I could get close.

I'll check in next week and see how I'm doing.
