As you can see I did start something new. This time I’m crocheting socks. Something I’ve never done before. I also know what my challenge is. After doing some courses and reading books about it I know that the subconscious doesn’t recognize negatives. So if I passionately proclaim the I’n NOT starting any new projects I should know that I’m in trouble.
So, this week it’s going to be: “I’m only working on existing projects”. Let’s see how far that’s going to get me.

Stop. Stop. STOP!

I’m not really fond of the winter (to put it nicely). Especially the winters here in the Netherlands. Cold, wet and grey. Around this time I get fed up with it and try to compensate it with starting new projects. To give myself some inside to what I’m doing I started using a memo board I found when cleaning out the attic. Everything above the white line is what I’m working on, below it the things I want to make. That list is not complete since I ran out of tacks and I’m too lazy to go hunt for more.
Actually a couple of projects above the line are almost done. Just a few hours of work and I can add them to my list on the right.
I won’t start anything new this month, only work on what I’ve got now. This really has to stop, nicer weather would also be great.


Update on the 100 balls challenge: so far I’ve used 9.3 balls of yarn with a total weight of 15.9 oz and a length of 1629.5 yards
