The "Done" List

You may recall from my blog post in June, my commitment was to spend my summer holidays doing things without guilt. That's exactly what I did.

But I know you're thinking... "But did you get to try your loom? How'bout walking? The rock garden?"

The answers are yes and no....and the "no" comes with no guilt!

As far as my fibre pursuits, a spurt of finish-itis saw eight... yes, 8...EIGHT!... sweaters make their way from some state of "in progress" to "finished".

That was interspersed with gardening... and many thanks to the offer of assistance (and a great deal of motivation) from my brother, the rock garden was transformed.

I spent time with friends -- boating, picnicking, laughing, providing support and having that support reciprocated.

And family factored prominently into my time this summer as well.... including my Mom's 85th birthday celebration!

I didn't get to my loom, but the fall is as good a time as any to try new things. My yarn stash has been re-examined and I found a few things that I thought had been "lost". And I sorted yarns that I'm not going to knit and listed them on my "sell or trade" Ravelry page.

I have prioritized my "to do" projects, and committed to spending time knitting every day.

And who knows, maybe this "done list" strategy will serve me well for the rest of the year...
