    Too make my niece more doll clothes. Would like to see some newer 18″ doll clothes patterns. And, of course, every year is the same resolution, to organize my yarn better.

    My New Year’s resolution is to make as many of the projects I have come up with as possible. I seem to always have more projects designed than I have time to finish. Need to use up some of my stash…my closet overfloweth with yarn!

    I have said for the past several years to dust off the exercise bike instead of using it for a coat hanger, but thats another story. I will clean out and reorganize my craft room.

    In the past couple or three years, I’ve learned how to read patterns, instead of just making up my own all the time; I’ve figured out how to hold the yarn with my left hand. (I’ve been crocheting for uhm..well not quite half a century yet..but always held the yarn, wrapped it, etc, all with my right hand.) This year I WILL get it–how you’re supposed to hold the crochet hook. I can do it for a few stitches at a time, then go back to the way I taught myself years & years & years ago!

    My main crochet goal for 2013 is to complete three baby blankets each month for Project Linus. I didn’t quite make it this year, averaging around 2, but I managed to get two other people involved. I would also like to teach more people how to crochet this year. In 2012, I taught two new people and got three more people back into the regular swing of crocheting. Woo hoo!
