Looking Back and Forward

This past year I set a goal for myself to produce at least one print a month in 2008. I took a look back at my blog posts and counted up 18 prints for the year! I didn't produce much at the end of the year because I decided to knit a lot of holiday gifts for friends and family, but my activities in the spring more than made up for it.

Mostly to record this for myself (because I'm so happy I completed the goal :)) I've made a list of all the prints I completed in 2008:

• January Hilltop Motel


• February Block Print Journals (4 small prints)


• March Pee Wee


• March (Again!) Postcard Print Exchange


• April Oregon Ink Spot Print Exchange


• April (Again!)More Block Print Journals (4 small prints)


• May No prints


• June Big Rig


• July Popcorn


• August Ice Cream


• September Skateboard and Bicycle (2 prints)


• October No prints


• November Corn Dog


• December No prints

I am going to continue this goal for 2009. I had fun with both very large prints (for me) and very small ones. This year I am going to go for a happy medium, working in the 5x7 to 8x10 range so that I can more easily carve multiple blocks for multiple colors.

If I have time I'll also post some of my knitting projects -- another goal I have is to keep a record of all my knitting projects with pictures so that when I give something away I remember what it looked like!

Belated best wishes to everyone for a happy and healthy new year!
