Week 6 of YOP 14
I always forget just how tiring the first week of school is anytime but frankly especially when you teach kindergarten. It is like herding kittens, super cute adorable kittens but still kittens. I'm falling into bed early each night.
Knitting Plans/Goals
August goals: finish Jeffrey Pine Cardigan (only a sleeve to go), finish Spooky Roller socks, add 4 mini skeins (#9, 10, 11 & 12) from the Christmas in July Advent project of the Anthology Throw, finish the orange Seafarer's vest which is a charity knit and finish the Knitmas in July shawl.
Update: I believe I will definitely achieve my knitting goal for the Anthology Throw, the rest might be close to the wire. I posted a general yarn update yesterday with all the gory details.
Sewing Plans/Goals
August goal: This month will be about using sweater knits in my fabric collection. I also want to continue to use the sweatshirt fleece I keep finding (I swear it is reproducing whenever my back is turned). I might actually make items for an upcoming weather season before that season actually arrives.
Update: I made another Rival dress in a cute Barbie French terry.
Canning Plans/Goals
August goal: I cannot realistically see myself with time or energy to can anything this month. Though I might sneak in another bone broth session.
Embroidery/Cross Stitch Plans/Goals
August goal: work at least 1 hour a week on the project.
Update: I find this is a good Sunday evening project to start my work week on a calm note.
Crochet Plans/Goals
August goals: Finish the Taylor Swift inspired crochet dress.
Update: Am closing in on finishing the body of the dress. I will probably then do the trim bits next.
Cricut Plans/Goals
August goal: complete 5 birthday cards in the month. It appears I know a lot of people born in the month of August.
Update: I made a super cute Mayo birthday card. The people who have received the cards have all raved about them.
Misc Goals/Plans
August goals: continue with budgeting, workout 3 times a week, write 4 letters/cards to send to friends
Update: I did manage to make it to the gym this week twice to work out. I was just so exhausted from beginning a new work schedule 2 was all I could manage.
