It’s been about a year ago since I made my knitting plans for 2015 so, one might think it’s time to make knitting plans for 2016. My knitting plans seems to be very similar to my New Year’s Resolutions in that I can keep reusing the same plans/resolutions because I never accomplish anything on my list. I’m not saying I never accomplish anything — just never anything on my list!
And just in case I forget how miserably I failed at staying on track, I have my friend, Amy, to remind me! 🙂
Since I still want to make everything on this list, and I think I have the yarn for all of it, I’m going to work from this list next year. No need to waste time making a new and different list, right?
Here’s my list for 2015:
January:
- Adult – Blue Sand (for me) – This one is started and maybe in January, 2016 I can manage to finish it.
- Child – Monkey Mittens – I did knit the chicken mittens so can we count that?
Not another single thing on my list got done but you know . . it wasn’t because I wasn’t knitting!
- Adult – Blooming Shawl
- Child – Sheep Sweater & Hat
March:
- Adult – Fickle Heart
- Child – Owl Pullover
April:
- Adult – Lady Sunnyside
- Child – Mim’s Chevrons
May:
- Adult – 8 Trick Pocket Hat
- Child – Peachick Eyes Cardi
June:
- Adult – Persistence is Key
- Child – Classic Cuffed Hat
July:
- Adult – Flower Cardi for Nicole
- Child – Flower Cardi for Addie
August:
- Adult – Chunky Cable Hat
- Child – Mya’s Jacket (I did have Paprika vest here but didn’t have yarn for it so I switched it!)
September:
- Adult – Brandied Cherry
- Child – Sweetest Things Cardi
October:
- Adult – Rowe
- Child – Sheep Roll Neck
November:
December:
- Adult – Gakusei
- Child – Go Buffalo
Other projects I really want to do and may try to work on as “extra” projects, and, I do have the yarn for all of the above projects and the ones listed below:

You may not have completed the items on your 2015 list but…..
Just think of all the things you did complete!!! You should make a list of those! ????
You amaze me!
Joan says
Fast forward and get started on Rowe! I am dying to do that one, but fear it may be way over my head. I’d love to know your opinion before I take the big jump!
Jeanne in Ohio says
Your list has some amazing choices on it! I’d be happy to make any of those and I could NEVER finish one of those adult cardigans in a mere month. Kudos to you.
Joyce says
I am impressed you can do both an adult and child sweater in a month. Lately it’s been taking me more than a year to get an adult sweater done. Ok, I do lots of little stuff in between, so I shouldn’t be so hard on myself. I try to set a goal to finish a certain number of items per year, so lots of little things (socks, mitts, cowls, etc.) help to inflate my numbers…

Wow, that’s a right healthy list. Did you get my recent Chicken Mittens email? I wanted to know what kind of yarn you used. The 26 stitches seem way too few on my yarn.
