2022 Goals Review for June

June has been a good month. We canceled our camping trip due to high gas prices. We have been exercising regularly at the senior center. I have also tried to eat less (calories in vs. calories out) and I think that has been helping me lose weight the most. 

1. Lose 5 lbs. - I’ve lost 2 lbs. since January so I’m on the right track. 

2. Finish my national park blanket. - complete!

3. Year of the Gnome - knit at least one gnome a month. Completed 5 gnomes.

4. Knit a sweater. - Complete!

5. Yarn - more out than in (use more yardage than I buy) - I’m not doing great with this right now. 

-Yarn used - 7433 yds.

-Yarn bought - 6650 yds.

6. Design 3 new patterns. - started on a new sock design. 

 

7. Learn something new. -  Complete! I’m mosaic crocheting a blanket and dabbling with watercolor painting.

8. Read 12 nonfiction books - read 7 books so far.
