Crafty Ambitions for 2012

[RachaelD]

Mine is rather simple this year - I want to complete 1 knitted, 1 sewn and 1 other craft every week this year (maybe with the exception of the week I have baby - will try to be in credit by then though )

So essentially I am aiming for
52 knits
52 sewn
52 other
106 total items

And for the first week I have a kimono sweater started and the kids art totes to finish sewing and ??????

or 156

Wow, what an awesome idea!
I might set myself a goal of 1 sewn item a week, and 1 pattern a month, hopefully life will be less hectic than it was last term!

My aims for this year:

Complete UFO's - DH's Hat, L's fratello

Knit something for me
Knit something to gift (MILs 60th ? SIL? Nana?)

Sew more. Use up stash.

Do I call that a slip of the fingers, baby brain or wishful thinking

Just added a couple more - dyeing playsilks (I am doing that right now, had them here for aaaaages), and a quiet book. My NY resolution should be less procrastinating! I make things so much harder in my head than they actually are.

[ditto]

I am going to finish redoing my sewing room. Nearly there - maybe a couple more hours, and I need to sell my desk that's in there before it will be finished. It now has a lovely big cutting table and another big table for my machines.

Then I have to do a quilt for my niece, one for B, a raincoat for B and C, and an advent calendar for next Christmas. And I have a box of mending and two boxes of abandoned WIPs. There will be lots more but I'm not planning it yet. Knitting - I started a jersey for C, so had better finish that before winter.

I've made a list of everything I want to have knitted this year, mostly in time for winter for the boys things!

Josh:
Hooded Hotshot
Go Buffalo V-neck cardi/jacket v2 (nearly finished v1, won't fit for very long )
Little Hoodlum
Scrappy top, Possibly an explorer vest?

Ollie:
Beyond Puerperium
Young Einstein
Tama
2x Longies
Explorer Vest
Little Hoodlum (possibly with a hood)
Mossy Sweater
Socks

Me!
Adult Vertebrae (hoping this will be released in time for me to knit one for winter, but as it will probably take me several months to knit it's not likely )
Finish my Ictis shawl

Gifts:
Headband for flatmate
scarf for Mum
Mitts for Lainy
and a couple of baby gifts planned as well...

Best get

This year I want to get the sewing machine out more! My big plan is to pretty up the house a bit as it looks like we won't be moving in a while!! (The plan was to buy a bigger house before the quakes! Not gonna happen now as we are on the eastern side ) So I need to make the the most of what we have

I plan on doing up the big boys room-
-cover drawers in fabric
-new curtains (I hate sewing curtains..so will buy if I can! )
-book slings
-drawer shelves backed with fabrics
-quilts ..I have a few ideas just need to get onto it!!
-random drawer nobs as hangers for kids bags

Our room-
-book sling
-cover drawers
-curtains (as above will try to buy before making them!)
-maybe upcycled throw for the bed/quilt

Would love to do do a photo gallery down the hallway but because of all the earthquakes have put it off Thinking of doing photo blocks instead..but I love old frames! Maybe I will do photo blocks with oversized frames around them.

Art hanging area for the kids art

Clothing for me and the kids!

Then there are lots of gift ideas stashed away as well!!

I'm doing a sewing course this year so I will hopefully make some stuff for me!!

Im keeping mine simple, wiht a new baby comming i knwo i wont have heaps and heaps of time.

Knit Ash a Ziggy jersey for winter
Knit Flynn a Tama jersey for winter
Knit everything in my queue for Little Miss Gordon
Knit myself a Spring/Summer jersey (Miss Jane probably)
FINALLY make a yarn wreath for christmas

[sable]

I need to make our king sized quilt; I'm about 1/3 of the way through the blocks; I stalled at the February quake for some reason on this one.
I need to make 2 pairs of shorts in the next 5 days
Make a cover for my Kindle
A full petticoat for under my 50's style full circle skirt
A 50's dress
Winter coat from an Ottobre pattern using some Wool Melton
Dye, spin and knit something large
Knit more socks and shawls to reduce stash.

I made the Kindle cover before I went on holiday as well as the 2 pairs of shorts.

To actually do some craft, instead of look at things online, and only getting that far!

*First on my list is to set up the craft room! Yay boys are sharing, and i have my little den back.

*Finish all my WIP stuff in the bag

*Make some cushion covers

*Start knitting again

[rootoo]

i just went through and added everything I have planned to my queue on rav and matched it up with stash yarn... I think I may have to buy more yarn I figure if I get through all the ones I have planned with stash yarn I'll certainly deserve to buy more for the rest

Ok, I have started the year with a bang with my sewing enthusiasm! I plan to make a lot more presents this year. So:

Sewing for a couple of friends babies arriving over the year: baby shoes, a wrap carrier, maybe some clothes
Knit hats for both kids
A dolls carrier for A's birthday
