Review of Yearly Goals for March 2019

My yearly goals are:

1.     Lose 10 lbs. This seems to be my continuing goal each year and hopefully, this is the year that I reach it.

2.     Knit 12 squares on my national park blanket. (There are 60 squares in the pattern, and this is year 2 of the project.)

3.     Knit a sweater.  - complete

4.     Finish my Squishy Blanket (pattern: Bits and Bobs by Kay Jones).

5.     Learn how to use my sewing machine. - complete

6.     2019 Photo A Day Project – I participate in this every other year and I feel it helps me learn how to take better photos.

7.     Publish a book - This is a big one for me and I won’t believe it until the project is complete and I have a hard copy of the book in hand.

8.     Read 12 nonfiction books that are biographies or autobiographies.  If you have any suggestions, feel free to leave it in the comments.

Results: I’ve decided to color code my results. Red = bad, Green = Work in Progress, Strike through = completed.

2.     I knit 4 of my 12 squares so far.
