I am not one to make New Year’s Resolutions, I know that I’ll fail and I don’t like setting myself up for failure. I do however, set goals for the coming year.

So, without further ado here are my 2020 Goals:

Knit a sweater

I’ve started this one, and so far I’m about halfway through the body. The pattern I’m using is Shapely Boyfriend (available for free)

Knit 1 lace something

Probably a shawl or scarf.

Use up my yarn stash before buying new yarn

There are 2 exceptions:
1. If it’s for a commission
2. If it’s a locally bought yarn
We’ll see how well this goes.

Finish a pair of socks

This one might be a stretch

Update my blog more

If only to post updates on these goals

Remember to take photos and post to Instagram regularly

Ditto previous statement

Other (non-crafty) goals include:

Practicing more

I’m hoping to do at least 15 hours/week. Maybe more or less depending on how well my body tolerates it, so I’m keeping it on the low side.

Learn and memorize a concerto

I’m thinking the first movement of Bach’s Violin Concerto in A minor or Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 (maybe both?)

This will also help with my goal of practicing more.

Learn a language

I’m not aiming for fluency, just proficiency.

What goals do you have for 2020? Let me know!
