Looking Forward
As we enter a new year, I thought I would both look back and be grateful to have started this blog and share all of these crafty wonders with all of you, and look forward to what the future of this blog holds, well at least what I'm hoping to do with the next year.
So here's the rundown of plans, hopes, and thoughts for the new year to make this year craftier than the last:
- The shop part of my blog will be opening this year, and consequently you will be seeing quilted things aplenty in my posts. This will include a series that will show each set of steps a quilt goes through to take it from the rough supplies to the gorgeous finished project.
- I've been dying to try dyeing, I have invested in some white fiber and plan to make a delightful mess and turn out some beautiful colour schemes. While doing this I'll explain the research I've been doing to pick certain dyes, and I also plan to try my hand at using natural dyes.
- I hope to be sharing some fun projects that make use of scraps that would otherwise be wasted when it comes to fabric and fiber, because I can't be the only one who feels bad throwing things away.
- There will be plenty of carding going on, as one of my goals is to get through all of my raw fiber.
- I'm going to be trying my hand at cable knitting, which is going to be interesting I'm sure.
- I'm also quite likely going to start a series of trying a particular stitch on many different weights of yarn to give you and me both a better sense of how differently a stitch can look when it comes to the weight of yarn.
- Finally, and ultimately, I hope to bring a little extra joy to some of your lives, even if it's just a drop of it, as I know that this is something that will bring joy to my life all year.
I know this isn't any particular project to showcase, but I can assure you that next week the projects will continue, I spent the last couple of weeks with my family, and wanted to make the most of that time while I had it.
Many lovely things to come, and I wish you a wonderful year full of crafty splendor.
Stay sweet, stay crafty, stay tuned, and Happy New Year.
