NYE

We're on the cusp of starting of another year, my friends! You know what that means. It's resolution time!  This year, I'm breaking stride with my previous attempts to produce and steering things in a slightly different direction.

My primary purpose for learning to knit and sew was to make my own garments. I feel confident I have developed the skill-set I need to do this, yet, most of the projects I pursue don't serve the purpose of filling gaps in my wardrobe. I very easily fall in love with patterns that aren't practical for my lifestyle. This year, I want to focus a lot more on "cake" than "frosting" in both knitting and sewing.  It's simply a better use of resources (time, energy, money, textiles...). 

Additionally, I've pulled out  a couple areas I feel deserve some attention and improvement in 2013. I have a series of more elaborate resolution posts in store for the remainder of the week, but here's the short list:  

1. Purposeful Projects / Assembly of  a "Staple" Wardrobe
2. Build-Up the Blog
3. Pattern Buying Diet
4. Design
5. New Habit: Packed Lunches

What are you resolved to accomplish this year?

Before I sign-off for 2012, I ask that you please raise your glasses. Cheers to you, Cheers to me, Have a Happy New Year Eve!
