2012 Challenges: 13.1 & 52/52

Because I am nothing if not ambitious (and perpetually almost willfully unaware of my limits), I have set myself a set of challenges for 2012, one old, one renewed: finish 52 projects in 52 weeks and knit, crochet, sew, or spin a combination of 13.1 miles (23,056 yards).

I'll be counting.  Will you?

My Year Starts Sometime in May

I am currently in the throes of writing a 140-page document that serves as the capstone of my master's program.  I have also in my fourth month of full-time teaching in an interim position of indefinite length.  Bluntly: I have no time for hobbies.

I've still managed to squeeze in a very few number of fiber-related projects, but my production is low, compared to the past two years.

I still found time to spin 268 yards of noms.

Beginning in May (when I - hopefully - graduate with a Masters of Arts in Teaching), I'll renew my efforts to document my fiber-related pursuits while simultaneously trying to use up my stash (as ever).

Until then?  Picture me frantically writing essays while gazing longingly at whatever I've got on the needles or on the spindle.
