Summer Knitting Goals

Last year at this time I was knitting like mad on an afghan for a wedding. And some washcloths for a swap. And some blanket squares. None of that escapes me right now. A whole year seems to have flown by. Some anniversaries are sweet, and some are painful. I pray for the young couple, that they may keep God first in their marriage. The tiny blue blanket...it never did settle in my heart right to donate it...and at the end of the summer, it went home as a comfort to the mama. Right now, I pray that it comforts her as she marks the anniversary of her son's birth and death...all in the same week. Although, I know that nothing short of heaven can take away that void in her heart. In my own life, the thing that's held me together through the ups and downs has been my knitting and my Lord. These past few weeks have held little time for me to knit. But I did finish a sock...and CO for the 2nd. I'm going to be more intentional about knitting! I'm making a list of summer goals for a contest...and for myself.

This summer:

• Finish Downpour Socks
• Finish Spring Forward Socks
• Finish Roza's Socks
• Re-Knit Sanity Socks (after realizing that they were 2 different sizes, I frogged them both)
• Dye yarn for my FLS
• Start my mom's sweater

I'm trying not to make too lofty of goals. I think last year I failed miserably. I ended up knitting away on market bags and washcloths. That was mindless knitting for me. But, maybe if you ask the recipients of my knitting...it wasn't such a flop.
