Estuary

I finished another one of my 8 in 2013 goals, with a small change. Instead of knitting Azzu’s Shawl, I decided that I would knit Estuary, another option for our knit-a-long. 

I used some of my handspun from Chris of Briar Rose Fibers that I finished several years go. It had been waiting for the perfect project. 

My first of 8 in 2013

One down, seven to go!

One of my knitting goals was to follow along with Kirsten’s 2013 Mystery Sock. I knit them mostly two at a time, until I realized the needle size I was using would result in too long of a foot to finish the pattern, so I switched to smaller DPNs after the heel and gusset, and back to the original needles for the toes.

I used Sundara Sock in Adobe that I got from Bertha. It was just right for this pattern. Thanks, B!

My 8 in 2013

Stephanie has a great idea, here.

My goals for this year are:

1. To run at least one official 5K. (I don’t know if I can commit to 8 without having done one first.)
2. Make a quilt for a someone secret (the fabric has been purchased!)
3. Knit ThroughtheLoops’ 2013 Mystery Sock (Ravelry)
4. Knit-a-long with my ZPDK: Azzu’s Shawl (Ravelry)
5. Get a great photo of  the two of us for this year.
6. Sew a new dress.
7. Begin to reduce the amount of “stuff” I own. As much I am attached to many of my things, I think much of it is weighing me down.
8. Run 100 miles in 2013.
