That’s so surprising since it was an incredibly productive year. I wonder if these lists help?

In any case, I will make a list for 2010 of the things I fully intend and realistically expect to complete:

- Second sweater*. Either the Rusted Root (first pattern I fell for) or the Cowl Sweater
- First hat* (in progress!). Mushroom Hat pattern from PurlSoho
- First lace project*. This will be Knitty.com’s Branching Out Scarf
- 1 cable project**. Might make a smaller item to make it go by faster and have it actually finished
- Make 2 softies**. Making the crochet bumble bee was a lot of fun and I now have actual poly-stuffing so it’d be good to make a couple more. I have ideas for a gift and one to keep.
- 2 Gadget cozies for friends*
- 1 pair of Pirate wristwarmers for friend*
- 1 scarf for friend**

Ongoing projects to finish:
- Laptop bag***
- Crochet blanket***

* Would be awesome to finally have these done!
** Would be nice if I got this done this year
*** Okay, I *finally* got it over with…

This sounds like a lot.. but I’ll make sure to get through them in order of priority. Here’s to hoping for the best.

Thought I’d start off the week with some uplifting imagery. The first to grace our eyes is this motivational poster which is the anti-thesis of the “Keep Calm and Carry On” well-known British poster.

It was highlighted by Merlin Mann at 43 Folders. The original image is here by Matt Jones.
