Weekly Goals 2026:01

[cyberneticdryad]

January is housekeeping month in the loosest sense of the word. Inventorying all of my current and planned projects. Deciding what worked well and what didn't last year. Prioritizing what needs and wants I have for the year. It's a short week, so we're keeping things light and will reset again on Monday.

Ooh, I like your goals! I am also a crafter (I mis-typed that as "crater" - umm, my bank account is a crater once I've bought craft supplies? xD). I knit and crochet. Yay! *highfive*

And wow, the 'inventory current and planned projects' one! You sound much more organized than I am, haha, I may steal that one.

Ooh, very cool! Are you working on anything right now?

I have too many hobbies and thus too many outstanding projects, most of which are for my spindle/spinning wheel. (And I'm currently learning to knit, because of course I needed another fiber craft! X) ) I'm not generally organized, but I want to spend less time on my phone and more time with my crafts this year so an inventory seemed like a good first step!

Oh gosh, too many things! I'm knitting a sweater, plus always have at least one pair of socks on my needles, and I'm crocheting shawls in queer flag colors for friends. I am also crocheting a blanket, and about to start knitting another. And there are various hat projects floating around here too. I... have a problem. xD

And OF COURSE you need another fiber craft. It is law. *nods* :D

Ohhhhh, that sounds like such a fun collection of things to be working on though! Shawls are on my to try list, but making them in queer flag colors sounds so perfect. No such thing as a problem as long as you're having fun! =D

You understand. X) Besides, I gotta use all this yarn I'm spinning somehow!

[derry]

Spinning is just SO BADASS to me tbh. My roommate has a spinning wheel & that scares me haha, so I got a drop spindle a while ago, and some random low-priced wool floof. I still need to be brave enough to start! I think it would be super fun to wear hand-spun and hand-knit items. :D

[cyberneticdryad]

I started on a spindle, and I loved it! My first yarn wasn't amazing, but I was so proud that it was mine. uwu Wheels on the other hand, I can kind of use, but they also scare me, lol. I have yet to make anything with my handspun yarn, but I'm excited for when I finally work up the guts to.

When you do start, don't be afraid to try some different wool! Merino is super popular, but I didn't love the feel and have had much better luck with some others. =3
