I'm going to try to learn to knit or crochet or both! 3nodding

Resist the temptation to give away my leftover yarn to my crocheting friends and knit it up before buing new

I tend to do crafts because I think they will please other people, so my crafting resolutions is to do crafts simply for me. I've started with a crocheted sweater (the "Cupcake" sweater from Stoller's Happy Hooker book).

That sounds like a great resolution!

Thanks. biggrin I'm hoping to have pictures of the sweater posted in a couple of weeks.

I want to learn how to sew something I can wear. C:  

[Chibi Kiku-chan]

Sewing: To make some clothes and/or recon some clothes, to learn how to use sewing patterns and understand them better so that I can finish the skirt and top I started last year with my grandma before I got sick, so that I don't always need grandma's help, mainly if we don't finish working on things when I stay with her.

Knitting: To finish my first knitting project aka a scarf.  

[DecemberFlower]

I am going to knit my first sweater! biggrin

I also hope to spend more time with dying yarn and fiber, and I'd also like to try spinning as many new fibers as I can. It shouldn't be hard, since I've only spun BFL, Finn and Merino wools and a Merino/tencel blend so far.

I'm going to finish that bloody quilt, set up an etsy sight with my sister and sister-in-law-to-be-I-hope, and get everybody's Christmas presents finished in time this year. I also want to get back in the habit of sewing since I kind of got out of the habit while I was in college (knitting needles were so much easier to transport across the country.)

to acctually knit up the stitch sampler banket I had thought about doing and wanted to do last year...  

[bit_witch]

I don't have any actual resolutions, just some on going sort of wishes.
I really want to complete some of the UFO I have that are waiting around. Also, I want to organize my crafting area, so I can actually work on said projects.
I would love to learn how to sew so I can recon some shirts I have, and make a mess in genral smile
We'll just have to wait and see where this year takes us...  

[Great Aunt Gertrude]

I want to make a few things to enter in this year's Evergreen State Fair.
I'm sad because I haven't entered anything in at least five years. gonk

 

[everwonderwhy]

My new years knitting resolution is.........Pretty much make the scarves my friends have asked me to make. Make my own backpack type of purse thingy without a pattern and make it AWESOME!!! ^-^  

[Silver Mist]

I need to finish my sutdio in the basement and move all my fabric, yarn and beads down there. And then organize it all. I also need to move all my paint, etc for school (oh, to be a designer- we own the weirdest stuff...) into the room and organize it.

As far as crochet goes, I need to stash bust. Big time. And learn to knit better. XD No more knitting noob for me this time next year. ^^  

[claviclebone]

Stashbust (is that what it's called?), to get some new needles, and knit like crazy also I want to finish this "daddy cap" I promised i would make for a friend! I also want to make more fish knitty stuff!  

[MicroMiniMuffins]

Yeah. I have fairly simple resolutions: bother to finish something rather than let it get lost somewhere in my trash heap of a room (the cleaning of which is also one of my quasi-resolutions). I also want to get away from the acrylic yarns that are too bulky to do nice lacework with and find something a little more delicate. That might require help of the internets, though. *sighs and wishes for a nice yarn store somewhere near her housw*

Ok mine I guess would be... To make a renn fair dress for myself before I do any costuming for my friends (never have time then for mine) and not to buy anymore fabric till I can get threw the at least half a ceder chest (I have 2 just fabric) and not to buy anymore yarn till I finish at least 3 projects I already have started. smile
