2022 Goals Revisited
Another year means another recap of knitting goals! Every year, I try to set some goals for my knitting. I’m not very strict regarding these goals, but I feel like it’s good to get something in writing at the beginning of the year.
All this being said, I rarely meet all my goals…. And that’s perfectly fine!
2022 Goals
Let’s recap my 2022 goals…
- Knit 2 pairs of birthday socks
- Knit 6-7 pairs of Christmas socks
- Participate in the Westknits MKAL again
- Make colorwork mittens
- Take a Selbu Mitten knitting class
- Publish my sock pattern
- Write another pattern
- Knit with my 2 Advent kits from 2021
So I definitely accomplished some of these….. I knit two pairs of birthday socks and knit 6 pairs of Christmas socks, not including my Advent socks during the holiday season. Once again, I took part in the Westknits MKAL, though this year just about killed my hands and fingers (so much knitting)… I also managed to knit with my two Advent calendars from 2021 and took a Selbu knitting class!
My intentions were good but I did not make colorwork mitts…. And while I started my Selbu mittens, I didn’t finish them. I did not publish my sock pattern, nor did I write another one. At some point, I just decided I wanted to have fun rather than stress about accomplishing anything in regards to pattern writing.
2022 Projects
2022 was not my most productive knitting year – I actually had one more FO last year.
But I still completed 21 projects! Here’s how they broke down:
16 pairs of socks
3 cowls
1 shawl
1 throw/blanket
Of the projects listed above, 8 were gifts! Woohoo! My gift knitting was epic, mostly due to all the Christmas socks I knit for my family. That was too much fun! I didn’t really mean to knit three cowls but it just kind of happened. And it was a lot of fun!
Ironically, my favorite FO for 2022 was a cowl: Joji Locatelli’s 3 Color Cashmere Cowl. I loved this project. It was fun and easy and so, so soft!
Conclusion
I don’t foresee many changes in knitting priorities for 2023, but I’ll share some goals for the year soon. I have several WIPs from last year that I’d love to finish…. But I still want to make fun the priority of my knitting!
