2015 Knitting Resolutions!

It's officially a new year, and I have decided that there are some things I HAVE to get done. Like, before I add anything else to my list. I've had a handful of WIPs for MONTHS, YEARS, and they need to be finished. My early 2015 knitting goal is to finish ALL OF THE WIPS, before I start anything else. Hopefully making myself update via blog will encourage me to keep at it!

What I Need To Finish:

• Pine Bough Cowl--This was supposed to be a gift for my cousin....last December. Now over a year has passed and it needs to get done and to her before winter is over! Pine Bough Ravelry Link

• Paraphernalia Socks--I was excited to work with this yarn...it seems like everyone loses their shit over Noro yarns and I was looking forward to seeing if the hype was real. I wasn't really impressed. The colors are awesome, but the yarn isn't, imo.  I finished everything but the toe of the first sock, then got a bad case of SSS. Paraphernalia Rav Link

• Mora Lopapeysa--Another one I hope to finish before the cold weather is done.  It won't take me long--it's literally just knitting the collar part, sewing up the armpits, and blocking.  It's taken me waaay longer for this to be done than I intended, and I can't wait to wear it! Mora Rav Link

• Freyja Shawl--Ok, this is the big one. I started this shawl for my mom in 2010. 2010. It was my last year of undergrad and my mom and I decided that we were going to knit each other shawls while I was away.  I worked a bit on it, then decided that college was too distracting for all of the lace knitting going on, and hibernated the project.  I took it out again like two years ago and did a few more rows, but I NEED TO GET THIS DONE. I'll do this one last, I think, so I can concentrate fully on it.  Then I can knit myself a new pair of celebratory socks! :) Freya Rav link

So...let's see if I can do this! I CAN DO THIS.
