Great plan! It’s fun to share things 💕

@ I sent you a link on instagram for a tree paper piecing pattern … I hope that helps

Those are great goals! I do like having scraps, you never know when they might be needed. That being said, they accumulate pretty fast. Do you have a project in mind for your scraps?

@@shaunastitches they're not really "scraps" more like partial skeins. So it will be multiple projects. Probably hats mostly.

I seriously couldn’t remember. My Disney knowledge is rusty.

I’m so glad it’s getting better too! I appreciate the nagging. I do listen! I’m stil confused how it could be an infection but I’m glad I didn’t wait longer to get it checked out. I’m also not loving book 3. It’s felt like a slog so far which is a bummer because when I finished book 2 I was loving the story.

Oh no 😥 I get tendonitis too but it’s mostly just crochet that aggravates it.

I will have to add that to my list! I love when I’m surprised by the outcome.

That is a very doable goal! Believe me, I used all the self control I could muster not to buy more.

That’s what got me too, the needle shortage! Good luck with your goals!

Thanks Paisley! I needed a Disney expert 💕

Thank you! Can we beat 2024? I think we can 💪🏻🧶🧦

Thanks Karen! I am getting better which makes me panic a bit less. Of course my mind raced off to all the worst cast scenarios.

Those are great goals! I’m still trying to figure out how I want knitted garments to fit me. I think maybe recommended ease per the pattern may not give me what I want. It’s definitely trial and error. Good luck and Happy New Year to you too 🥳

I think there’s a lot of freedom with that! Sounds like a great no plan plan 🤣

That’s awesome, welcome! I love watching her and seeing all the socks she makes. Very motivational.

Thank you for watching! I think there is so much to be learned from tracking your yarn usage. Whatever system works for you is the right one!

It was so hard not to buy more than I did. Probably a very good thing they were closed when I went there next day.

Thank you! My finger is getting so much better. Nearly pain free now and the swelling is down. Thank goodness. That was scary and painful.

Thank you! I wish you all the joy this year too 🥳

I started my process just by tracking hours much I knit each month/year, then eventually added in hours much I was buying. It’s all very valuable data and can help you inform your decisions down the road. Nice job aiming to use stash this year 👏🏻

@shaunastitches I always do but you know how it is.... you see pretty yarn you want to buy it 😅🤩 this will keep me more accountable

Oh believe me I know how it is 🤣 we do our best and don’t beat ourselves up about it. This is our for fun hobby after all!

Thanks! It could have been so much worse I know 🤣 I’m all about the joy 🥰

I think working with more natural fibers is great! Those sweaters are going to be so wonderful. I have a feeling we’re going to make some awesome things this year 🥳

I think it would be awfully hard not to being in at least a little yarn in a year. Moderation is a good way to go! Those Freckled Whimsy clubs are awfully tempting. Such pretty colors 😍

Yay! The more the merrier. I’m so glad I could introduce an idea that resonates with you. I’ll definitely be watching!

I do love a good sale, it is hard to resist!

@ yes. I get that. The yarn I got on line was deeply discounted too. And of course I had to buy more than I needed so I could get the free shipping. 😂

@ Of course! I’ve definitely done that before. I’d rather buy more yarn than pay for shipping. I feel like I’m getting more for my money that way.

I’m so tempted to start a DK weight cozy memories but I’m not doing that until the fingering weight is done. I have so many scrappy blankets started, I can’t wait to finish at least one of them. Happy new year to you too 🥳

You can do it!!! It helps to have sort from people with similar goal too. Just remember, every little bit helps us get to our goal 👏🏻

Thank you! It is amazing how much I realized one little finger affected when it was hurting and not working right. It’s getting much better now, nearly back to normal! Such a relief.

Whatever you choose I have no doubt the data will be helpful to you in some way! Good luck with your stash journey 🤗

Welcome and thanks for checking out my channel! Happy new year to you too 🥳

You’re not alone in feeling overwhelmed. Just try to focus on one thing at a time and it’ll all fall into place, even if it’s not at the pace we wish it was. I’ve already been focusing on buying less for the last two years and it’s a slow journey. I’m so glad we can all support each other in our goals!

@ I’m also pretty sure my bf will kill me if I keep taking up all the storage space with yarn. 🤣

Knit him more things and maybe he’ll appreciate it more 🤣

@ I wish. He’s very Danish and warm all the time. He will be in a tshirt when I’m wearing a jacket and a wool scarf! 😆

Yes! Decision fatigue is a very real thing and when you can take those inconsequential decisions out of the process it makes everything so much easier. I’m really enjoying it!

Congratulations! You’re amazing with the socks. Are you trying for 91 this year? Because I fully believe you can do it!

@@shaunastitches We'll see! I don't have a goal in mind. Just knit all the socks!

That’s so crazy! No idea what caused yours either? It doesn’t make sense but I’m glad they realized what it was, and also that I went when I did. If I had put it off longer I’m sure it would have gotten even worse.

@shaunastitches Yes, according to the first doctor I had, who actually knew what it was, it is quite serious and can go systemic. He said it could have been from the tiniest pin prick that you might not even have realized you had, and it didn't have to even be on the actual spot that the infection settled into because it is carried through the body by the blood. I did have an injury on the opposite hand, which he thought it might have come from. The doctor who thought I had gout (which it wasn't, as proven by bloodwork) said that the first doctor didn't know what he was talking about, and it wasn't possible for an infection to move through the body and settle in a different spot. It's amazing how fast it cleared up with antibiotics, though. I think I know which doctor didn't know what he was talking about. I have no lasting problems from my 2 times though. So hopefully you never have it again .

Happy new year to you! I’ve been eating a ton of home made yogurt to try to help offset everything the antibiotics are killing off. I really try not to have to take antibiotics but I think it was the right choice this time.

I never even considered Melting Pot for an advent but that could be very cool! Thanks fire the idea 🤗

I sure hope so! It’s long overdue.

You have some great goals! I love brioche and have done some steeking before. It’s easier than it looks, but still a bit nerve wracking to cut a knit. I suggest knitting a small tube with the steek stitches added and then using that as a practice. I did that for my first one and it helped me be more confident without the risk of it being anything important.

@ I did that at a knitting retreat last year, which is why I feel better about doing it for real. It does help immensely to feel less anxious about cutting your knitting.

Thanks for watching and following along throughout the year. It is quite amazing when you see everything all at once. I never would have thought it was this much in a year.

Thank you! It’s a beautiful fade and it might be the perfect project for the yarn 🤗

Happy New Year to you too!

Hahaha, what are the chances of that? Too funny.

You are going to love the Anthology throw. It’s a fun and easy knit and I love adding in the next color. It makes you want to knit extra fast to get to the next one.

Thank you so much! The incredible blanket is really such a fun and satisfying knit. I hope you love it as much as I do!

Lots of socks….but nothing like some I’ve seen. I’m truly amazed at how much some people can get accomplished. I try to remember not to compare myself but sometimes it’s hard. Happy New Year to you too 🥳

It is a really great pattern and I highly recommend them. The fit is the best, so squishy too! Happy New Year to you too 🥳

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it! Happy New Year to you too 🥳

Thank you! I'm so glad you let me know about the issues in my first upload attempt. I really don't know what happened there. I'm excited about 2025 too. My hope is to finish a lot of old WIPs! My finger is slowly getting better. I'm impatient and would like it to be 100% already.
