I looked back at my goals for the year post for 2011. I met some of them but not all.
I did design several bags and totes that have been a hit.
I did not get much charity work done. I crocheted a lot. I really did. But it was for gifts or for sale.
Goals for 2012:
Charity--I have time to get some scarves made for the Special Oympics if I get on them now.
Gifts--In 2011 I started to make afghans for family members. I made one for both my sons. I got one done for a sister and one done for a wedding gift. I am working on one for my mother and my aunt that is a design of mine. It took several attempts to get the square as I wanted it. I have that now and I am working on both at the same time. The same color for each one and putting them together as I go. I want them to be finished at the same time. This will be a priority of mine this year. Getting the afghans made. My other two sisters did finally pick out a pattern they would like so I can get on those afterwards.
New techniques--I did get better at the basic Tunisian stitch but now could expand on that. I have also come across freeform crochet. Well, I'd seen it before but after reading a little more I am developing an interest in it so I may give that a try. And I've also been looking into tapestry crochet. So much to do and learn and so little time. :(
I'm sure when I revisit this post next year I'll have achieved some of the goals and not achieved some of them. I change my mind throughout the year. It all depends on the time I have and the urges I have.I'm fickle it seems.
