2008 recap
01.25.09 | Tags: Misc | Comments: (0)The last few months have really flew by quickly. I pass my first semester of medical school and more importantly anatomy which is the rite of passage of all medical students. I enjoyed anaotmy a lot. I even manged to knit while studying anatomy thanks to some anatomy videos and streaming lectures. I had a two week break in between semsters in which I finished up two sweaters and a pair of socks. Which was all I did during my break, and I needed it! Why? I had only knitted four items in the whole four months during the semester. Now that I’m more accustomed to how much I need to study in order to pass and anatomy is over, I’m knitting more and acquiring more yarn.
I looked over my last year’s recap post and I have failed at three of the four resolutions. The only one I didn’t fail was knitting while standing up on the subway, I’ve done that a few times. My stash has grown even faster than I can knit considering I haven’t stopped buying but my knitting output has dramatically decreased. Colorwork? Um not so much, I tried making the bird in hand mitts, only half successful, I think I’ll just keep that one mitt and use it as an oven mitt. I haven’t really learned any new techniques but I have grown a lot more comfortable with my knitting techniques.
As for next years resolutions. I have my last official summer holiday ever coming up, I don’t have any plans yet except to do a lot of knitting! So here is my resolutions for this year, better late than never!
1. One more big lace project (not counting Sarcelle that is 2/3 done)
2. Be less selfish, I’ve come to a point to which I have realized that I don’t need so many hats and scarves. And I have several requests from my classmates for knitted items and one of them is very persistent.
3. Stop buying yarn because its on saleTotals from last year:
9 pairs of socks, 8 were for me and one for my sock exchange partner (no photo of the finished sock)
6 sweaters/cardigans
34 total items plus or minus a few small things not listed on Ravelry
