February 2007 goals

Okay, so January was clearly not the best time to set the monthly goals I did:

1. Finish chart 7 of Peacock Feathers – Not done (I am, once again, a few rows short)
2. Finish a pair of socks – Not done
3. Finish at least one other WIP – Done! (And I love my Endpaper Mitts so, so much!)
4. Work on all remaining WIPs – Not done

I was involved with a project that required lots of active listening for the better part of the month, and it’s kind of hard for me to focus on that when I’m swearing about my more complicated projects, you know? So I started some less-demanding projects. I’ll be taking lots of photos this weekend, so expect a fair number of posts over the next week or so!

My progress on my year goals was almost as pathetic:

1. Have only one project of each type (socks, lace, fitted garment, etc.) in progress at any one time. – Yeah, I failed. Three pairs of socks, two scarves, and two colorwork projects were all on the needles at the same time. (Though the Fairways socks are counted as both socks and colorwork in that total.)
2. Have a maximum of five projects on the needles at any given time. – Um, not done?
3. Finish at least five pairs of socks. – Does having three of the five on the needles count as progress?
4. Finish at least two shawls or stoles. – So far so good, I’m still on track to finish Peacock Feathers this month.
5. Finish at least one of the two WIPs started in 2005, and rip out the remaining one if no progress has been made by the end of the year. – I’ve decided that I’m probably going to frog one of them early, actually.
6. Decrease the amount of yarn in my stash. – Barely. Finished up two balls and broke into three more, but I bought four more. (Though two of them don’t actually count as “stash” because I started using them that same day.)
7. Attend SnBs more regularly (at least once a month) – I went to three this month, so yay!

And now, time to set some goals for February:

1. Finish Peacock Feathers
2. Finish a pair of socks
3. Finish at least one other WIP
4. Work on all remaining WIPs
5. Start a new lace project
