Monday Goals (29-08-16)

I really overachieved on two of my goals this week! It was only because once I got started on them I started having too much fun and didn't want to stop!

Last Week's Goals:

Half the X's | A++

I have three baby quilts to finish before October. I finished ALL the x's AND I put one quilt entirely together!! Guys this is amazing. I have fallen back in love with sewing

Water | C

Drinking 8 cups of water a day proved to be a challenge for me. I drank more water than usually, but I don't think I ever got to 8 cups in a day... yikes.

Spin a Bobbin | A++

Not only did I spin all the singles but I also plied about 90% of the singles I made. I am SO happy with how the yarn turned out. I ended up with over 400 yards of sport weight yarn so far.

This Week's Goals:

Water

I really want to drink enough water. I know it's good for you and I want to make sure I am taking care of myself.

Finish Something

I feel like I haven't finished anything knitting wise in quite a while. I currently have socks, a shawl, a cardigan and a hat on the go. I want to finish one (maybe two) of these things this week. 

Work Term Report

I have put this off for far to long. My work term report for my last two coop terms is due in a few weeks. Normally I'm pretty good at working on this as I go, but this time I've been procrastinating.- I've started it but I want to get it done before school starts up again for me (on the 8th of September). I need to write 8 short blog posts about what I did each month of my work term. It's not super difficult but I just have to sit down and do it!

What do you want to get done this week?

Monday Goals (22-08-16)

Last Week's Goals:

Finish August Socks | A

I finished my socks! The only thing I didn't do was block them. I don't normally block my socks but I think this pattern will require it

Divide the Sleeves | A+

I got past the sleeves! Most complicated part of the cardigan (in my opinion) is finished!

Try a new recipe | A

I tried a chicken and potato and cheese recipe. Andrew loved it, I was okay with it. I did really enjoy making it though. It's fun to try new things.

This Week's Goals:

Half the X's

I have three baby quilts to finish before October. I am finally at the sewing stage (aka the fun stage!). I am making a rag quilt so I have to sew an x on each of the 216 blocks. I want to get through half of the x's this week (so a diagonal line on each square)

Water

This habit did not stick. I really need to drink enough water, I can totally tell the difference when I don't get enough. This week I want to drink 8 cups a day.

Spin a Bobbin

I've been spinning this alpaca merino since my birthday (April). It's time to power through and finish spinning (so that I can start knitting!). I want to spin the last little bit of the first 100 grams and all of the next 100 grams. That way I can ply them together next week!

Monday Goals (15-08-16)

I skipped doing last weeks goals, but I these are the grades for the goals from 2 weeks ago

Last Week's Goals:

Finish the Blanket | D

I didn't even touch this blanket... In my defense, it was really hot here this week and working on a blanket was just not going to happen. (Side note, I finished this blanket a couple days ago - see the picture above. I LOVE how it turned out!)

Crochet | B

I think I crocheted about 8 squares, which is better than nothing

Spin | A-

I picked up my drop spindle at least once every day!

This Week's Goals:

Finish August Socks

I will be doing a lot of car knitting this week, I'm hoping I can focus and get these socks finished!

Divide the Sleeves

I am pretty close to putting the sleeves of my Mom's cardigan on to stitch holders. I want to keep making progress on this and get past the sleeves this week.

Try a new recipe

I want to try something new for dinner this week. Maybe I'll find a winner!

Monday Goals (02-08-16)

Last Week's Goals:

Breakfast | A+

I ate breakfast every day! It was delicious.

Spin | A

I used my drop spindle at least 3 times and I plied those two bobbins of singles that were on my spinning wheel.

Get Rid of The Junk  |A-

I removed the junk from the back of the car... but I just put it in a pile in the apartment, So I didn't exactly get rid of it in the best way...

This Week's Goals:

Finish the Blanket

This blanket has been sitting on my needles for quite a while now. I want to get it done!

Crochet

I need to keep working on crocheting those squares! I fell off the wagon. I want to do 2 squares each day (at least!)

Spin

I want to make more progress with my drop spindle this week. I have a project in mind for the yarn I am currently spinning so I want to start making faster progress! I want to spin at least once a day and hopefully be half done spinning the singles for this project by next week
