October 2005 goals

The September goal roundup:

1. Complete at least the yoke for Eris – Done! I’m now partway through the hem.
2. Finish tipless gloves – Not done. Would have been finished if my perfectionist streak hadn’t kicked in, though.
3. Finish Shimmer – Not done. I did re-swatch for it, at least.
4. Re-start (yet again) Lotus Blossom and complete at least one chart – Done! I’m partway through Chart 2.
5. Hold off on pipeline projects until completing at least one WIP – Not done. I started FPS and didn’t finish a thing.
6. Draft a pattern for toe socks – Done! It’s a rather rough draft, but it’s a draft nonetheless.
7. Work only with stash yarn – Done!

As you can see, I didn’t do so well with my goals last month. But I tried, I really did.

And now, the goals for this month.

1. Finish tipless gloves
2. Finish Eris
3. Work on FPS and get through at least tier 10
4. Work on Lotus Blossom and get through at least chart 4
5. Work on Shimmer
6. Start toe socks
7. Start Channel Pullover
8. Start cable-and-bobble hat
9. Start cabled purse

Whew. Bit of an ambitious month here. But it’s not impossible. Besides, if my third year at UCSD is any indication (um, how many units did I take while having two jobs, extracurriculars, and an active social life?), I kind of thrive on having too much going on.
