10 (of everything!) in 2010

So much going on, so much to say, so many pictures that don't seem to make it off the camera onto the computer.

Alright then, picture-free it is.

I've been thinking about ways to help get me out what sometimes feels like a crafting rut. It might or might not actually be a rut, but it feels like one.

Way back in December, people started talking about a 10 shawls in 2010 project. That sounded interesting, but a little bit too constrained for me. And I've always been an over-achiever, or at least someone who has eyes bigger than my stomach (in this case, metaphorically speaking. I'm not planning to eat any fiber or yarn.)

Alright then. Here's my plan:

10 shawls in 2010
10 sweaters in 2010
10 (pairs of) socks in 2010
10 (pounds of) spun fiber in 2010

I do nothing by halves.

And because I have a teensy weensy itty bitty little problem with longtime UFOs, I added something that doesn't start with S.

10 finished UFOs in 2010.

I set up my own rules, because I don't like to play by anyone else's. Longtime UFOs are ones that I started at least a year before I finish them. UFOs (even those younger than a year) can go into the 10 shawls, sweaters, whatever count.

As of right now, I've finished one shawl, and one sweater that was also a UFO. Oh, and I've spun 5 ounces of fiber.

I've got a ways to go.
