The Year 13

Starting the year with a bang groan!

Every year at this time, over on the BSKG group forum, there is a listing for knitting  intentions for the coming year. So, this year I decided to jump in and list what I hope for in 2013.  Has anyone noticed that this is a 13 year……    who believes in superstitions anyway???  13 could be a lucky number ……………..  good luck with that, am sure all will go well, right, yes? opps, but I regress! sorry.

So these are my personal intentions list of stuff:

1.    UFOs, what else, finish, frogg or hide in back of closet, whatever it takes to make them go away and not clog up my life.

2.    Do more weaving because this has been sadly neglected what with being housed in the farthest room from the john. Long story you don’t want to know.

3.    Start next year’s holiday knits way way earlier (yeah, that should happen).

4.    Try to stay healthy.

Please note there are no intends, I do not do intends, tend to get sidetracked too easily, look shiny sparkly……..

With all that in mind and on day 7 of the year 13, let us take a look at how it goes…..

UFO’s

1.    Brie’s present for Christmas -  am just now starting the sleeves, so it should be wrapped up soon, like a week or two depending on how things go.

2.    I am working on the cut glass blanket with no end in sight, sigh.

3.    Weaving has resumed.

4.    We are not talking about all the others at the moment. Ok,  just leave me alone.

Startitis, yeah, we fell down already so soon, who would have thought it, shut up!

1.    Lady Violet’s Dinner Gauntlets, a KAL  - a Downton Abbey KAL, using a yarn dyed special just for the project. And, yes, it is a mystery KAL and yes I am aware that I did swear off…… but but it is Downton Abbey  (actually not sure I will being doing this, if I do there will be major changes modifications, just saying).

2.    I received this beautiful yarn from ‘grandson’ Alex, (Christmas present) and as luck would have it, stumbled across the perfect patterns to do it justice. So, of course……..  can you guess what exactly I did? Bought the patterns, now which one which one????

3.    The guild KAL for January…………..  so ok yes I is doing it, of course, even though it is a cowl.

And this boys and girls is why I do not ever do intentions, resolution, promises about knitting (actually about any old thing for that matter)  ………………… look shiny, oh and I have a couple of bead projects started.

Since we are way picture short ....... 

 Shit, no pics, for some unknown reason blogger pic insert thingy does not have a browse thing and all the listed ways I can not use because, well I just can't..........................   will figure it out because a blog without pic is just a lot words ...................
