My plans for this year include working on my WIPs and using up some of my stash. I also want to (finally!) finish my application for TKGA's Level 1 Master Knitter's program. I'd also like to do some double-knitting and work on a couple of design ideas that have been floating around in my head for a while. <br /><br />Happy knitting everyone!TrishKnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00354165283284584279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298152147095480091.post-30789788093161693752012-01-08T11:11:29.187-05:002012-01-08T11:11:29.187-05:00In this new year 2012, I am determined to learn ho...In this new year 2012, I am determined to learn how to incorporate beading into my knitting and crochet projects.

I'm such a doofus!<br /><br />My plan for this year is to get organized and get rid of "stuff". I have far too much quilting fabric in my stash ... couldn't use it all in 10 lifetimes. The yarn stash is not quite as bad but I know I have yarn that I will likely never use. All my excess "stuff" will be donated to people or organizations who can use it.<br /><br />I also want to expand my knitting skills. One of the things I want to learn is how to use beads in knitting. And along came the Kinetic KAL! It was perfect timing. Can't wait to get started. :-)Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13071324856612493653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298152147095480091.post-64717612390063861202012-01-07T18:03:45.814-05:002012-01-07T18:03:45.814-05:00I usually don't make resolutions because they&...I usually don't make resolutions because they're too hard to keep.

I'm also cooking my way through Anne Burrell's cookbook, "Cook like a Rockstar" ala Julie and Julia. I've never made any of the dishes in the book so it should be interesting!
