I've been a bit behind in updating this blog recently, *sigh*, the damned PC apparently picked up some sort of infection and decided that a go-slow was the only way, then when I changed to Ubuntu there was issues with Firefox, now I'm working with Chromium and things appear to be fine. Some minor tweaks needed and a minor learning curve and hopefully things will continue well.
I have some ambitions for 2011.
1. To publish a pattern, one of my patterns is in the hands of a test knitter.
2. To knit several patterns from my queue, at least 11
3. To knit 11 pairs of socks
4. to knit at least 2 adult garments.
5. to knit more from my stash than I buy (this should be easy, the government has gutted my wages)
6. To finish at least half the works in progress currently on my projects page, either finish or rip.
7. to knit at least one pair of knee socks for me
8. To knit Kilt Hose for Mac
9. To review at least 20 books
10. To knit at least 4 patterns from books I own
11. to keep the Irish Knitters updates going.

March 10 for '10 update
My updates:
1. knit through some of the stash - so far this year I’ve knit about 3500m
2. destash some of the nasties either by giving it away or using it up. still looking blindly at this
3. practice spinning still hoping
4. sell or just publish some of my designs next on my list of things to do
5. Buy/obtain less yarn than I use. used 3500 bought about 9134, failing this
6. review my queue try to knit at least 10 items from it The ravelympics ate into my queue, Mrs Beeton, Brigit, Sunflower Tam, Burning Embers, 4-corners dishcloth, diagonal dishcloth, 198 yards, Ridged lace cowl were on my queue, earlier this year I knit Spring forward and Hemlock from my queue so with 10 done, this ambition is officially finished but I’m upping it to 30, so now I’m 1/3 of the way there.
7. Knit at least 10 pairs of socks third pair finished, I’m en route for this
8. knit from my bookstash, from at least one book I haven’t knit from before. I’ve knit from New Pathways for Sock Knitters and from Knitting Nature, so keeping with this
9. seriously review my book collection. some whistling now
10. Review more of the books in my collection, try for 26 reviews (one a fortnight) I’ve kept up with this, I think I’ve done about 10 so far
10A: organise my knitting blog. working on it instead of my regular blog, will have to make up some balance here
