Another year…

At the start of every new year I like to think back on the year closing. 2011 was a big year for me. Here are some professional highlights:

• I finished the Crafty Detour CSI: Most Wanted collection of patterns
• I started a new job for The Alpaca Yarn Company
• I was published in Interweave Knits Fall 2011, Jane Austen Knits, Knit Magazine Issues 38 and 41, Universal Yarns’s Designer Collaboration Program, and the Woolgirl Sock Club
• I taught at the annual Knitters Day Out event
• I started wholesaling patterns to yarn shops
• I joined TNNA as a designer

This year I have some goals. I don’t like to say they are resolutions…because they aren’t. I don’t want to make promises to myself that I cannot keep. But somehow, having goals seems much more do-able.

• Self-publish a collection for fall
• Exercise more – We just ordered an elliptical for our home and I plan on using it at least 3 times a week
• Stop taking everything so personally
• Eat better – Both hubby and I are committed to trying to eat healthier meals this year

What are your goals for the new year?
