My parameters are based on situation. My daughter and her friend have gifted me with beautiful yarns. I want to knit with them. I also want to continue stashing down. Since I am going to have to move again, and I am not sure how much space I will have-I am sorting my stash and de-stashing everything that I don't plan on using. Some yarns have been in my stash for 30 years. I am buying what I need for specific projects. BUT I am not putting hard parameters on myself. Reading-I am making myself read/listen to more new books than revisiting old favorites. Happy 2025!
I have to force myself to listen to more books as well -- and to read all the physical books as well. I've gotten real lax about reading since I started working full time again.
My only regret is that I didn't get an Advent! I'm with you on the rest of the BS! I'm sure there is a movie quote about folllowing someone into hell but I can't think of it right now but I'm right beside you! thanks for the Podcasts. Jane. ps I have 15 fo's!
You know, I go back and forth on whether to get an advent (or 3...) every year. I have yet to knit the complete advents from the last two years and doubt I'll cast on anything with this year's advents for a while. They are fun to get, but the jury is still out on whether I'll continue to get them.
I am tempted by that sweatshirt, but find that I rotate between a few of my handknit sweaters as "sweatshirts". My buying strategy is simply - buy only from folks I am certain are not MAGAts.
@@Bobbleheadknits it’s going to be a long four years. I’m drowning myself in knitting. I’m going to Md Sheep and Wool and The Knit Girllls SSK. DON’T CARE! 😂
@@recreationalknittingpodcast Oh, SSK is on my bucket list! You have to tell me all about it. (And it's like you're reading my mind about the next four years....)
I find it really hard to fix mistakes in the Incredible Blanket. It's like brioche but not. Do you have any tips? I have SO many WIPs from the previous years. I want to make a dent this year but I already found a new cast on I'm starting on January 20th. I might be hopeless 🤣
I am struggling with fixing my Incredible Blanket, so I'm the wrong person to ask. If I figure it out, though, I'll let you know. And, I'm definitely hopeless. I already bought more yarn....
@@Bobbleheadknits me too. My LYS was having a huge sale. I got a hand dyed MCN skein for $15 and Opal was $5 a ball. I was very reasonable and only bought 6. I could have bought so many more. I may go back...
Hi Karen, I love your 2025 goal that is my kind of plan 😜.
Happy New Year to you and your family 🎉 xx
I too am planning on doing whatever the hell I want in 2025!!😂
It's going to be an epic year of knitting!

I usually don't like sweatshirts, but I have a couple I love, including this one.
Your goal is genius. I’m in!
I would love to have you join me! It's just going to be a free for all!
The sweatshirt is pretty epic!
Yes, she did a great job. I've discovered if you just tell her very specifically what you want she'll get it for you....
Hope you dan make it to the Cast On Party for the Sox-Along-2025
I'm going to try to. I have my yarn all ready to go!
This is fun, I wish I knew how to crochet. I'm a new subscriber 😊
Welcome! I wish I knew how to crochet too! I've tried to learn a few times but haven't gotten the hang of it.
I’m in as well. I’m gonna do ❤whatever I want for a while. Don’t care. 😂
Yep! Pretty much going to run amok all of 2025.
