I have worked on my niece's blanket for about 35 minutes today. Then I got bored. Taking a break now to check websites. I'll try to do more crafting later, as there's still plenty of day left.

I don't have any crafting *resolutions* this year, but I do have goals:

* Finish Rebel Ripple for niece by May 15th
* Finish Nordic Stripes for nephew by May 15th
* Do poinsettias for mom and younger sister, hopefully sooner rather than later
* Hopefully finish Central Park Hoodie for ME by spring
* Hopefully finish the knit t-shirt for ME by summer
* Finish my commissions in a timely manner

That's a LOT. And yes, I am taking some commissions this year. Not too enthused about it NOW, but I agreed to it back in November. Luckily, they are Christmas stockings so aren't in a hurry, but still: it's going to be a slog.

I plan to combat the slog by rotating projects. I won't have the yarn for starting the commissions until Thursday at the earliest, so until then I'll work on other projects.

Big goal this year: acquire a crafting icon, for use here and in my journal. This current icon isn't too bad, but I would like to transition away from it for Crafting, and use it just for Working posts. I'm not too great at making icons though... but perhaps I will try to make one anyway.
