January 11, 2014 – Happy New Year!
I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas season, however you chose to celebrate!
January always seems, for me, to be the month of fresh starts – except for this year when I came face to face with the cold hard truth that I had many MANY more unfinished projects that I ever allowed myself to admit to. Being a member of the Ravelry community has been both a blessing and a curse, for while it has allowed me to become super organized as to what I’ve knitted, what I intend to knit, and what supplies are already on hand; it has also been that little niggling voice that reminds me of projects abandoned for fresher, newer, prettier projects.
With this in mind I took it upon myself to finish some of the projects that I started with such good intentions and get them out to the intended recipients. Items that have languished to the point where there is no saving them will be taken apart and the yarn recycled into the stash.
So that this recycled yarn doesn’t just sit in a box my plan of attack is to utilize Ravelry’s Pattern Search option and find something that will work with my yarn. Sometimes this means I get to head to my LYS (local yarn shop) for something to compliment or contrast with what I have on hand. Other times once I’ve finished this project I can head to my LYS for a reward, whether it’s a knitting tool I’ve coveted or a magazine or even more yarn. The promise of a reward is that dangling carrot that keeps me moving.
If you’re stuck for project ideas or just stuck on a project, the staff of Once Upon A Sheep Yarn Shop would love to give you a helping hand. We hope you’ll stop by soon for a visit and share with us what your knitting plans are for 2014!
