New Year, New Beginning

A new crochet project while the Pieced Throw blocks…
…and some new knitting resolutions for the coming year.
-
Write more patterns. This will begin with the release of a new cabled scarf pattern, hopefully this weekend. Like my previous patterns so far, it will be free to download but I hope those who knit it will make a donation for however much they think the pattern is worth.
I’ve got about four different sock ideas kicking around in my head, along with two toy ideas. I want to submit something for publication and also start selling patterns myself.
-
Knit more sweaters. Remember when I said this?
I will be wearing a Tangled Yoke Cardigan this fall and winter or I will eat my Addi Turbos.
Well…Addi Turbos nom nom nom. I have yarn for three sweaters stashed. Time to knit it up.

Blog more. I’m going to aim for an average of two posts a week, or eight posts a month. To help kick this off, I’m going to write a series on psychology and knitting. Tentative topic list, in no particular order:
- Spatial reasoning I — schematics
- Spatial reasoning II — charts, charts, charts!
- Learning and expertise I — the value of effortful practice
- Learning and expertise II — conceptual v. procedural, process v. project
- Math education — can knitting really help you learn math?
Those are the big things I want to do with my knitting life. I’m also planning to re-design the site in the very near future, so keep your eyes peeled for that!
