I was looking back at my 2012 year in review, to remind myself what my goals were for 2013. Haha, I was so far off! I managed 15 FOs, and 5 designs. Not my most productive year, by a long shot.

Here are the FOs:

And here are the patterns:

Update: The patterns for Aerie, Fairy Mist, and Pemba Mittens and headband were spcial designs for the 2013 Tanis Fiber Arts Year in Colour Club. They will all be available later this month for purchase.

2013 was a strange year for me, with lots of adjustments. I went back to work after my maternity leave in March, adjusted to working full time with Lila going to daycare, and trying to fit in knitting time and designing time in and around work and my little family. We went to Bristol, London, and Paris. And last but not least, I published a book of poetry, something I’ve always wanted to do. But yet I don’t feel like I really lived up to my potential in 2013, you know what I mean? So I’m going to lean a little heavier on the throttle in 2014. I think I’ve got it in me to push a little harder.

So, my knitting goals for 2014? I’m going to try to do another 6 designs, including a sweater of some kind. And I’d like to get 20 FOs in 2014. And also, I want to revamp the blog a bit- I think it’s time for a refresh. That’s what the new year is all about, right? How about you- do you have any knititng related goals for 2014?
