I really like Christie’s swap-knit-for-crochet project! I too, am dialed-in to crocheting and, harrumph, I also wish their were more crocheter’s out here. I keep returning to knitting (after 30yrs) and have managed about 4″ before frogging it away….So 2012 for me is, surprise-surprise, crocheting more!~Including all my gifts this year and donating my beanies to Chemo Caps. Humble and Proud to say I Crochet!

I’ve been on vacation for a couple of weeks through the holidays and into the first week of January. I’ve been knitting and crocheting up projects that have been planned but never started until now. I plan to empty my four bins of yarn (they are large) and while doing so, advance my technique knowledge by trying new methods. So lots of items for family and friends, doll clothes with the leftovers, and samples with the bits. Someone also suggested felting the samples to be needlefelted on mittens and hats.. wow, I’ve got to get busy!

I haven’t even thought about a Yarncrafting Resolution for this year until reading this post. I don’t have all that much time to knit anymore since I have a toddler that likes to “help” and 2 cats that like to sit on my lap and attack and chew on the yarn as I knit. The time I can actually spend knitting is few and far between. I guess a resolution I would make is to start finishing up all the projects I’ve started before starting any new ones. Then, to start organizing my stash into projects for the upcoming year(s).

I have two afghans that are 3/4 finished, going to finish them up before the end of february…… make hats for the homeless task force here from all my scraps of homespun……
and I have an offer/request… if there is an experienced knitter who would like to trade projects with me ( a crocheter) I bought the yarn to do the last knit- along and really want that tunic sweater in Amazing, but I am a hopeless knitter!! I worked for 5 hours on a scarf in knit stitch and got 4 inches done….. ripped it out and crocheted the whole scarf in an hour….. so if ANYONE out there would like to knit me a sweater ( I have all the yarn) I will crochet you an afghan, or a sweater or anything I am capable of

When I made my first sweater, I felt a little overwhelmed at first, but just remember to take it one stitch at a rime, and you’ll be finished before you know it!

I’m going to make my first attempts at lace using steel hooks and crochet thread, as well as learn the more advanced Tunisian stitches so I can (try to) make a beautiful sweater drom the Fall 2011 issue of Interweave Crochet. And try not to buy yarn without having a project in mind first!

I too want to finish the projects I started in 2011 – first a sweater that is about 1/2 done for my son. Also want to take a class on knitting two socks at once and do more color knitting – using two colors at once. Made a skull hat and loved it.

I am going to try to finish all the projects that I have started and left hanging. I also am going to give up some of the odds and ends that I keep holding in case I need them.
