A new year gives me that squeeky clean feeling, like starting a new quarter in school, cracking open a fresh notebook promising this time to keep your notes all organized.
In a way I almost feel like Mike Holmes from Holmes on Homes. Finding old knits, ripping them apart and starting them over to make it right.
It is with that in mind that I am re-starting my arrowhead vest. Made in April 2010 and had all intentions of getting the pattern out there but I didn't. Now, I am re-working the pattern in Fibre Co. Acadia, a gorgeous light yarn. It's part of my new goal of 2012 - get things done!
Here are a few other things that I want to Get Done in 2012:
- Stash bust! It's time I give some of my yarn a new home.
- Submissions! There's a deadline coming up and I need to focus and get some designs going.
- Balance between work knitting and knitting for pleasure.
- Keep up the blogging!
- Publish a pattern every other month. (I am not going to say monthly because that's a bit cray cray - BUT if I manage to do it, it will be a BONUS! hah!)
Thank you always for coming by and reading! I'm looking forward to a fabulous 2012!

Hi! My name is Margaux and I love to knit.(a lot.) I currently am in the gorgeous city of San Francisco. This blog follows my knitting adventures with a little of my crazy life in between.
Oh my gosh, I'm so excited! I've been longing to knit the Arrowhead vest since April 2010! I can't wait to see the pattern and cast on immediately!

Good luck! Judging by the photo it's going to be a gorgeous vest. Can't wait to see it and the other things you come up with this year :)

Acadia is such a beautiful yarn. It looks like great choice for the vest.
Good luck with all your goals. (Especially the publishing one!)

I love the feeling of a bright, shiny year with full potential ahead of us. Your goals are similar to mine (although releasing a new pattern every month is beyond my experience). Happy knitting!
