Accomplishments of 2018

2018 Goals

• Remarkably these look similar to my 2017 goals. Well if it worked last year, it should work this year. Just need more dedication towards them, and so we shall beign. 
  • Knit 1 project a month, preferably, finish a languishing WIP
  • I did very well with this, I am seem to achieve my knitting goals faster than any of my other goals...why is this?
  • Read 1 book a month, preferably, finish a book you started eons ago
  • I got through at least 6 books, not sure I finished anything I started eons ago though. 
  • Colour 1 colouring book page a month
  • I started a few, I actually find colouring quite stressful, as I do not want to pick the wrong colour and have regrets, which is the problem I am having with the one i am colouring right now. 
  • Finish some art projects!!!
  • Didn't finish anything here, but the art class has been disbanded, so I am very disappointed by that. I am making plans to get better at this. 
  • Make photo collages for posting on the blog, this should make them nicer, and make my blog look like I put more effort into it  
  • Nope, this did not happen. 
  • Keep going with your podcast!! 
  • Didn't really get that far on this one. I like doing them for travel but for knitting it is a bit of a waste of time. I do not knit enough to make it worthwhile. 
  • Become the fit fabulous Amazonian you know is lying in wait in there
  • hired a personal trainer, 8 weeks to get me started. 
  • So this isn't going very well. But I believe I have made progress, and my pants do fit better. We will see what next year brings. 

Knitting:

This year for convenience sake, and to give me more space for pictures I have decided to separate by month. I think it will give me a much better idea of what I am spending the majority of my time on, and break things down easier for future reference. Hats do seem predominately get finished, however they take about 2 - 3 hours per hat, and I find that is a much easier block of time to commit to something than  sweater etc. Also, I cannot knit a sweater on the treadmill or stationary bike, and I do spend a huge amount of time on both those pieces of equipment.
