My biggest thing is organizing my stash and downsizing it some. I have a plan to make a ton of stuff for my husbands classroom so I can get rid of some of the yarn I don’t want anymore. Where will I get the time for that? Who knows xD

There isn’t a bucket large enough for all the projects I want to start or finish lol! I have some crocheting, sewing, painting, papercrafting, and general crafting. I have at least a hundred towels I want to eventually crochet tops for to sell. My boys are in their 20’s and I have yet to have a scrapbook finish with at least major things. :grimacing: I have a cupboard I am refinishing for my mom for a microwave cart. Want to do resin projects….

I have a lot of “cleanup” to do, both in the way of getting closure on a number of old projects and in organizing my craft collections.

  • Weave in and maybe edge 2 otherwise complete blankets (one C2C, one 6-day star)
  • Finish or frog all large UFO (I have a number of rows on a cat stitch blanket from the very start of my hobby, a few sections left on a complex mosaic blanket, and 3 partial pullovers - one granny hex, one fitted mesh, and one oversized crop top mesh)
  • At least one thing that uses some of the “nice” yarn I’ve purchased
  • YARN STORAGE
  • Shelves to display finished amigurumi

New stuff to try

  • Stuffed animal wall net
  • Bisexual fingerless gloves/arm warmers (I love pride colorways)
  • Knit socks (I have a number of dedicated sock skeins but knitting scares me, lol)
  • Design a pattern?
  • Plarn (I’ve already made some and have materials for a lot more but haven’t worked with it at all yet)
  • Tunisian, maybe? Might hold off til next year or later.

Oh my list :woman_facepalming:t3::see_no_evil_monkey::rofl:

Firstly kick procrastination, over thinking and things that distract me would be helpful. Alright now to my list. If I get even half of this done I’ll be so happy. So for the next 13 months it will be interesting!

I would really love to make some friends on here so let’s start with that. ok now that it’s outa the way I’ll continue!

  • Design at least one larger Amigurumi
  • Set up a photo taking table started just need to add finishing touches
  • Check off some designs on my long list
  • Inventory tracking and organizing
  • Figure out a way to add my brand on my products (tags or embroidery)
  • Add new displays to my markets last year I added two (cash desk and crates)
  • Embroider eyes on more plushies
  • Market prep continuously
  • Design at least one wearable
  • Attempt to learn how to paint my own eyes
  • Finish my Tunisian fairy coat
  • Weave in ends on hubbys and sons graphigan blankets
  • Learn how to knit socks (been on my list forever)
  • Gain at least 10% more followers in my social media pages
  • Test for more designers

I know there’s more but for now I’d be happy if I get all this done.

Haha I lost count on mine! That’s why I didn’t post that. I can think of at least 8 but :woman_facepalming:t3: could be more.

To do List:

  • Edit and update all of my patterns - which means remaking at least 30 patterns :melting_face:
  • Re-cake and organize my yarn stash

Business Related:

  • Hopefully start setting up my business to start selling patterns and plushies (these state required business fees are no joke) - possibly in the Summer this year
  • Set up a website

Crochet related:

  • Make 3 critter series patterns (community, autumn, winter)

This is all i really have planned this year :sweat_smile: everything else is “it’ll happen when it happens :woman_shrugging:” :joy:

What about writing a book similar to the Redwall series with all of your crocheted critters. ???

I’ve never thought of having a bucket list for crochet, so it’ll probably be pretty short (much like my regular bucket list lol)

  • get rid of some of my stash, whether via donations or use
  • actually wear/use the things i make a little more

I have several wips I need to get done, and a lot of wips that may never get done. But my main goal this year is to shift from selling finished items, to focusing more on my patterns! I’ve had a few patterns in the works for ages, but it’s not where my focus has been. I also need to figure out a better solution for yarn storage than random cardboard boxes… still trying to decide what kind of storage I want and where to put it.

Everyones lists look so organized :grin:

For me I think I want to switch from my amigurumi focus to more useful things and clothing. Finish wips. I just started knitting and I think it’d be so cool to make a sweater/socks. I’d also love to start designing patterns.

I’m donating a chunk of my stash that I was gifted that I’ll never use. It’s crazy cause never thought I’d be willing to give up yarn but I’ve got too much :face_with_peeking_eye: the organizing started though! Except it got stalled and now I’ve got 3 laundry baskets of yarn with nowhere to go until someone can help my husband move my cubby upstairs lol. Once that’s done, my big goal for the year is almost done and it’s only the first week…. I may need to shoot bigger lol
