2021 was the year I used a white board to organize my knitting. One year in, and I call it a success. I knit all but two of the projects I’ve been saying I want to knit. I’ve knit projects that have been in my queue for years. It felt great. I was able to finish 63 projects this year. I do not anticipate knitting that many projects in 2022, as breaking my ankle and being immobile for months really added in knitting time.
In 2022 I hope to knit down my stash. I will buy yarn, but only when travelling, at fiber festivals, or if someone requests an item I do not have the yarn for.
What do you hope to knit next year?
On the list: finish the current sweater for one cousin, fingerless mitts for brother-in-law (because he lost one of the last pair the first day he wore them!!), mittens for one granddaughter, sweater for another cousin, dog coat for one of my canine friends, and then I’ll see were I am in the year. A friend just gave me a really pretty hand dyed skein; I’d like to make something for me with it – either socks or a cowl. I have yarn for all of these, except I’ll need to dye the yarn for the fingerless mitts. The queue is endless!

Sounds like your whiteboard has worked really well. I’m just going to be working on my YOP list until end of June and I’m not sure about the 2nd half of 2022. Perhaps crochet a blanket.

What an amazing output! Although the broken ankle recovery contributed, it was something to endure, not to be celebrated. I hope your bones stay whole this year.

You really did great with your goals! Your whiteboard is a really good system 🙂
I am hoping to knit a bunch of sweaters this year to start working on my stash, at least a bit.

That sounds like a good plan for stash-busting. I’d like to get my stash down under 300 skeins this year, either by using it up or donating what I’m never going to use. I think I can do it!
