So January is over already and it's been a very productive month for me even with all the health issues in fact I'm so thankful to have my knitting and crochet to fall back on when I'm not well, what would we do without it have you ever thought?
I used to worry that I would get tired of crocheting just like I have with all the other crafts I have tried in the past but it's been an ongoing obsession for 7 years now so I think it's safe to say I will be crocheting for as long as I'm able, as for the knitting the mood comes and goes but for the present I'm enjoying it.
so what were my January targets and have I met them?
Make Two Teddy Puppets a month.
Finish my Greg Blanket
I'm almost there! it's taken a bit longer because I'm lining it, hopefully I will be able to show you the completed blanket next week.
I'm following the Cheerful Child Blanket Cal and I'm managing to keep right up with it, here are the latest two squares.
Arn't they pretty! I'm still enjoying this crochet along, the finishing date is February 18th so I'm hoping to have a finished blanket by the end of February.
Continue working on my cardigan
I have made the back a front and have nearly finished the second front, this is the project I put to one side so I can prioritise the others so I fear it will take a while before I get it finished.
AND I finished my socks when they weren't even on the to do list...
So I'm feeling pretty chuffed, the crafting year has started off well.
My January yarn stash bust is 1188 grams although I have to admit that 500 grams of that was given away.
Now the fun part is trying to decide what to make in February when you have so much you want to make and a to do list as long as your arm. I will let you know as soon as my list is finalised. Don't I sound organised!
Have a great Sunday! :)

Wow! get you.Sooooo productive.I wish I could say the same.
ReplyDeleteI think your crochet teddy puppets look much better than my knitted versions and that boy's jumper is perfect.
ReplyDeleteLook at you, you are on fire. Well done with the yarn use. I am up to 2,000 yards used so far this year, not a bad start although much of it was new yarn.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Meredith
