YOP Week #1


Well, it's here....a new year for YOP!  I have been working on "my list" for several weeks now and I think this is going to work for me.  I have categories and only 2 projects in each category but knowing my amount of interests that still makes for a very full year!  But here goes!  Oh, BTW, I did not include gifts although some of them might be and if I finish something, I may add another project to that category.  There are also some WIPs in there as I am really trying to finish up ongoing projects.  I was also going to do some books but I don't think I'll ever want to do all the projects in one book.  I will let you know the pattern sources, yarn used and where I got it etc.  I will try to be more detailed this year and also keep up with my project pages on Ravelry.  That being said..let the games begin!

As I was "researching" for these project pictures, I came to the realization that I have more WIPs that are out there....oh boy!  So, in each category, as I finish a project, I will replace it with an old WIP if there is one unless there are pressing gifts that need to be made.  Also, I may alternate WIPs with a new project just to keep my creative juices flowing.  
One last area that I need to include are new skills and techniques that I want to learn.  Again, there will only be 2 at a time although there is much I need and want to learn.
Skills and techniques:
1. Fish Lips Kiss Heel
2. Tunisian Crochet  
Happy Trails and to all a fun and productive Year of Projects!

  10. Nice to read a familiar "voice" and welcome to another year! You have such a wide range of interests that it's always fun to see where it takes you week after week. And what a pleasure to see your confidence and skills grow year after year. I'm so looking forward to seeing your socks - maybe you'll catch the bug like I did?!?!

  12. Love it! Long and creative and yet only two projects in each section and I can see how that would work for you. I love the varied selection of all the different projects from knitting, crochet, quilting, stitching and sewing, I really love the Angel tunic smock thing, that is really pretty! Can't wait to see what you will produce this year, best of luck!
