    don’t make goals but before I start New projects I think is it something I should do. reading and crocheting are my passions

    • Kelly O’Brien says

      at

      I also love to read and crochet so I now listen to audio books while I crochet. I find that I keep a more even pace and get more accomplished.

  4. Theresa Lanigan says

    My 2023 goal carries over from what I started in 2022. Finish deleting all duplicate patterns, keeping the highest quality, and labeling them to the exact name of the pattern.

  5. Edi says

    My daughter-in-law in Canada is learning to crochet. I plan to be a resource for her for as long as she needs it.

  8. JOELLEN ADAMS says

  9. Ann G says

    at

    I’ve learned not to set crafting goals. My multiple chronic illnesses love to interrupt my plans, and I hate not meeting my goals. Instead, I just make whatever strikes me at the moment.

  10. Tammy Chevalier says

    at

    I have set several crochet goals for myself, for the upcoming year. The first, (which I have tried to do for the past 3 years, but keep getting side-tracked), to make a flag a month from your flag series. Second, to finish or frog a number of WIP’s, most going back almost 3-4 years. (Yes, I squirrel easily when new patterns come out). Third, to finish a number of designs that I have been working on and to get them posted. Lastly, to get more organized, so I do not have in excess of 10 WIP’s and working designs, waiting to be finished. Guess I will need to get a planner or journal and start filling it up.

  11. Barbara Bowmam says

    My goal is to write out and publish a pattern a month

    My daily goal is just to be the best person I can be, by being kind to others and trying to help them wherever I can. Crochet wise, I’m hoping to finish a huge blanket project but I’m still trying to gather all the yarn. I want it to be super nice and soft so just any yarn will not suffice.
