Ready, Steady, GO!

Goals for this next three months:

January:

1. Make and update the pattern for my "Test Vest"

2. Come up with a design for a primarily wool fabric for my vest. Planned structure is twill, but I can vary yarn diameters, etc, to make it more interesting.

3. Weave a selvedge rug for the studio (and possibly another for elsewhere)

February

1. Sample setts as well as finishing methods for the vest fabric. Try at least *two* different warps.

2. Dye yarn and sample for a krokbragd rug for the studio

March

1. Dye and weave the krokbragd rug for the studio. Possibly a second for elsewhere.

2. Weave the fabric and sew my first vest. Figure out what I liked and what I didn't like about both garment and cloth.

3. Goals for Q2.

How's that? It feels doable and I like having a goal on a month-by-month basis. Smaller bites to eat the elephant.

Happy New Year, everyone! I'm going to have some champagne and cake.
