January goals!!

Out of time again!! What happened here? I made my list for January and it's now February 1st. Did I get everything done? No. But not to worry I'm happy with the way the month turned out just the same. I made these fingerless gloves and managed to have several request for the holidays.Once Christmas was over I was surprised to have several more people looking for them,so, I wanted to get at least 3 pairs done this month and I did.

The pair above is from last year and the 2 below are new for 2011. Where's the other pair? Sold and delivered.
Then there's the Christmas garland I wanted to make in January. I went through several sessions of "I could do this or maybe that" You know how that is.

I think I got a good idea of what I want to do now and have started the project. It's on the top of the list for February.............honest. I got Jiggy started on his diet,finished the little sweaters and made that Christmas card list. Still working on a new ornament,nothing ready to show anyone yet. Of course,don't forget about the barn raising quilt I'll be talking more about that later.
Well today is coming to an end and I don't have my list done for February.How about you.Did you make a list? How do you motivate yourself to get things done?I'm feeling like the rabbit in Alice in Wonderland. I'm late,I'm late........................said the hobbit

I finished my rolled brim beanie that I did in my knitting class, I wanted to learn how to use circular needles, and now I'm making fingerless gloves to match using double pointed needles for the first time. I'm very excited.

What a perfect time to read this post - just as i was about to sit down and do a review of what got done in January! Like you, not nearly as much as was on the list - that is for sure!

But aren't those lists easier to make with a whole clean calendar sitting in front of us - nothing filled in yet.

But I have come to believe that those ambitious lists have a very valuable place in our lives because we still get more done by not completing them than we would if we never made them!

Your fingerless gloves are GORGEOUS!
