2017 Review

This year I have knit 6 1/2 pairs of socks; I gave two pairs to Cynthia and kept these for myself.  I really enjoy the feel of these lightweight wool socks and wear them often.  You can see that the unfinished pair uses a different design, one with a basket weave.

I finished two quilts in 2017.  This one is "Soul Searching," the one below is "Fractured."  These are the names of the patterns; perhaps I will give each one a more personal title.








As to my resolutions for this year, I met some but not others.  1.  I continue to try to improve my eating habits and walk more.
2.  I have read more non-fiction; last year 13% of my books were NF, this year 17% are.  Not a huge increase but some.  My goal is still 25%.
3.  Blogging continues on a regular basis.
4.  As to quilting goals, so-so success.  I did finish these two, but still have one top that needs quilting.  And I didn't do Sarah's quilt or one for donation.  Maybe in 2018.
5.  I visited Dad three times.
6.  I visited Sarah and Erik for a bridal shower, then we went to San Diego for their wedding.
7.  Meeting a friend for lunch or another activity has been easy to accomplish.

In summary, 3, 5, 6 and 7 were fully met; the others were only partially met, so I will keep working on them!
