I started knitting just over 2 years ago. I learnt the basics and essentially left it at that, happy to knit away the hours in squares of knit and purl and other minor variations thereof.
I still consider myself a
beginner in the knitting world, and while I have a steadily increasing pile
of WIPs waiting patiently for my attention again, I find myself wanting to start new things. However, after getting frustrated at running out of "new" and interesting things to knit within my comfort zone, I've decided that its time to step out and try new, more complicated and detailed projects.
It's my aim for this year to attempt new knitting projects, patterns and styles. I plan to undertake this by starting a new type of knit (even if it's only a small one) a month.
Part of this project will be a block-a-month blanket. I hope to create a small blanket made up a squares which are each knitted in a different knitting style/pattern.
The other part of the project will be to start (and hopefully finish) new projects throughout the year, knitting things that I previously hadn't considered knitting, whether because they looked too hard, or wasn't sure if they would get used or because I had just completely overlooked them as a potential project.
For all I know this could be quite the ambitious project, but I'm looking forward to it. I hope that keeping a record of what I am starting and how I am going will encourage me to stick to it for the entire year.
Wish me luck!
