End of First Quarter Check In

I just clicked on a new-to-me podcast and the host started off talking about where she was with her 2022 goals at the end of March, and I thought that was a great idea so I am checking in here with the ones I listed out back in December.


  1. Knit a sweater from my 2021 Jacob fleece. ✅ Done
  2. I still want to learn to do brioche.  I plan to knit Andrea Mowry's Harlow Worsted as a learning project.  In progress - I started and frogged so no FO yet, but I have begun to learn the technique.
  3. Socks are still going to be one of those things I always have going. Yeah, in progress because it is never ending.
  4. Specifically, this year I would like to keep using my sock yarn stash.  I have some skeins I would like to get knit up, but I would also like to play around with scrappy socks and holding yarn double for thicker (and quicker!) socks.  In progress/not startedI have been knitting with stashed sock yarn, but I haven't knit any scrappy or yarn-held-double socks.  I did knit mittens with sock yarn stash scraps.
  5. At the moment I have 3 sweaters going.  I would like to finish all of them, as well as that Jacob sweater I will be starting soon. In progress, one done, two more to go nut lots of progress on both over the last few months.
  6. I would like to make a colorful sweater from handspun as well.  I might do a sort of fade with my existing skeins.  Or...  In progress
  7. I would like to play with my blending board a lot more.  I would really like to blend up enough for a sweater. ✅ Done!
  8. Work on Corriedale fleece.  In progress.  (1 of 3 lbs. combed and spinning started.)
  9. With the exception of my mill ends/add ins/sample fiber stash that I have for blending, I would like to spin up my existing fiber.  So close to done!!  I am spinning my last braid now.  I excluded the Corriedale and mill ends/add ins from this.
  10. Knitting the 2021 Selection Box from The Woolly Thistle yarns.  In progress.  I have knit a hat with 4 of the skeins, five more skeins/4 projects to go.
Looking at that I really feel like I am making a lot of progress on the things I wanted to work on.  I have at least started or worked on each of those thing in some capacity and two of them are solidly checked off the list.
