It's Monday, the start of a new week. One of the groups I belong to on Ravelry has a chat thread for members to set themselves weekly challenges or goals, knitting-related or otherwise. Usually I set myself a challenge each week. Sometimes I meet them, sometimes I don't.
Last week, I decided to opt out, and I didn't like it. Without that publicly-declared intention, I found I wasn't as focussed as I like to be, so this week I have gone back in with a vengeance and have set myself four goals for the week. I might not meet them all but I have something concrete to work towards.
The first is to buy NO yarn!! I've been actively trying to reduce my stash since the beginning of last year, and will write a post later in the week with more details of that.
The second is to finish my current design-in-progress and get the pattern written up. I'd post more but I've just decided today to submit this one to a third-party publisher as well, so I'm keeping it under wraps for now.
The third is to make the back and front of Zoe Mellor's Little Star Sweater for my younger son. He's only small (he's 26 months but he's very small for his age) so that's not as ambitious as it sounds in a week!
And finally, I want to either write up the second half of a sock pattern that I've started, or knit the second sock of the pair (one or other of those tasks will do me, not both. I'm not that loopy!)
And to be fair, I think that's enough for anyone for one week!
What are your plans for this week?
