Mid Year Update

Given that I did make some 2014 New Year's Resolutions, I thought I should give an update on where I am halfway though the year.

Progress Report

Here are the 2014 resolutions:

Finish the kid alpaca blanket/coffin cover (2013 taught me I really MUST work on this more frequently to get it finished).

Get down below 195 pounds and stay there (or less).  It's where I'm most comfortable and feel the best about myself.

Blog on average at least twice a week.

Publish at least one new design on Ravelry

Finish piecing the current quilt top I'm working on

Here's where I am so far:

• Done some work on the kid alpaca blanket, but finishing it isn't likely.
• I've successfully gone down to under 190 pounds and stay there consistently 
• I've averaged about 2.19 posts per week since January
• I've published Bright Lizard Scarf design and I may even have a second design to publish this year
• I've done very little work on the quilt top...I may have to change to a different quilt project to be inspired.

So far, so good...and if I put some extra effort into the first and last item, I might actually accomplish all of them.

Current Knitting

I started a new knitting project, using up more of my leftover Koigu and another sock yarn.

This will eventually be a scarf I will call the Fireworks Scarf, as I'm hopeful the variegated, pastel yarn will look like little color bursts when it's blocked.  We shall see
