A Book and Some Needles: Ready for the New Year!

Well, 2013 is almost over and I've been thinking about what I would like my new year's resolutions to be. I've thought long and hard and have come up with some knitting and non-knitting resolutions, or goals if you will.

Knit at least 2 sweaters/cardigans for myself.

This goal will probably consist of frogging my Cable Hugger because the fit I got was way too loose. Yes, I am almost completely finished with it, only a cable band, collar and a sleeve away, but it's a fitted garment that just isn't fitted.

2. Spin for socks.

I have heard that handspun hand knit socks are even more amazing than just hand knit socks, so I'd like to try it out for myself.

3. Spin for a sweater.

I know, it's a big goal. But I have about 10 oz of Corriedale wool that I have been trying to find something to spin it for. White isn't usually a color that I would wear, due to me being attracted to messes, but I'm sure I can dye it.

4. Read from my reading list.

Okay, here is where I list all of the books I want to read....

The Friday Night Knitting Club series by Kate Jacobs (The Friday Night Knitting Club, Knit Two, Comfort Food, & Knit the Season)
Books 13-20 in the Stephanie Plum Series by Janet Evanovich
Nicholas Sparks Books (The Lucky One, The Notebook, Dear John, The Last Song, A Walk to Remember)
The Help by Kathryn Stockette

5. Finish my college classes.

I'd also like to share what I got for Christmas :) They're all amazing gifts!
