Happy New Year!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\" This is going to be a colorful year. I have already decided that I want to get faster with working with color in my creations this year with multiple yarns, not just colored yarns themselves.<\/p>\n

New Year\u2019s Day, I made some attempts at interlocking. That\u2019s where two pieces of mesh are worked together. Interlocking will be revisited when I have some lighter weight yarn. For the patterns that I have in a book, the yarn I have will be too bulky. The swatches did set the wheels in motion and gave me a few ideas of how I could do some similar creations without starting with two pieces of mesh, but one starting base and then adding a second or third color.<\/p>\n

\"\"Then, the next day, I had an opportunity to go to a day crafting group gathering. While chatting with friends, I made a hat using two colors and figured I could do that more. It was a simple hat, but I want to experiment with more elaborate patterns and incorporate oddballs into my work.<\/p>\n

There are a couple of sketches that I made that I will try – they may or may not work. If they do, great, otherwise, they may give me ideas about other things that I want to work on.<\/p>\n

For 2025, I am committing to making 12 red scarves and 75 hat and scarf sets.<\/p>\n

This will give me the opportunity to make a couple of things for myself. I have an idea what I’d like to make and the yarn, I just haven\u2019t found the right pattern. Let\u2019s not forget the mystery ball afghan that I started working on and the new blanket that I want to make for myself.<\/p>\n

Have any of you set crafting goals for the new year? Let me know what you\u2019re planning.<\/p>\n
