I want this year for me to be more intentional, in all the things. Spending less frivolously, making more dinners from scratch, moving more and sharing what I love. Yes to all the woodland greens and browns and forestry inspired colors.
I feel like we're on the same wavelength for a lot of these! For the scrolling, my phone has a "digital well-being" section in my settings. From there, I can set app timers, which helps a ton! My word for the year is "intention." And I totally feel ya in the rebellion! I hate it when others tell me what to do, especially when I tell myself what to do, lol.
Love talking about plans 🥰 I’ve been trying to (a) be more active (b) spend less as a family (c) make more of our bread products and (d) get into a regular family rhythm.
Lovely! I make yogurt and granola for my kids too. I like that it’s less wasteful and I don’t have to worry about using plastic or if it will be recycled. For the yogurt I’ve been able to use a little from one batch to start the next.
Hey, I’m a spinner and I highly suggest the Crosky Fantasia as a beginner wheel. It’s incredible. The ratios go from 4 all the way up to 20.❤ best wheel ever
Earthy greens are my favorite too! Also I basically ALWAYS knit socks toe-up (and I knit a LOT of socks). Just easier for me to gauge yarn usage that way, and I hate heel flaps and picking up stitches so much lol.
I have a goal to try knitting socks again (it's been a few years), to use stash yarn or donate it if I just can bring myself to use some of the ick colors I have, and to take more time to enjoy the process rather than rushing through everything.
Love all the same colors as your the rusty browns and greens! Speaking of I always want to ask what is the paint color and brand of your green walls? 😁😆
I want to try different constructions. Before last year I had only done raglans. in 2024 I tried set in sleeve, and knit in pieces. This year I want to try saddle and contiguous. I also want to stop the scrolling, so I have a rule of myself that i ignore the youtube homepage on the app, I open it and go directly to subscriptions or watch later. I have changed my browser youtube bookmark to my subscription feed instead of the homepage. See if that helps :)
I'm knitting a Stornaway sweater and it's drop shoulder and oversized and I'm excited because I'm wanting to have it as a sweatshirt sweater. Lol you want a hobbit color palette lol
Nimble needles has a customizable toe up sock that might be up your alley. It teaches how to measure gauge and your foot, then how to calculate your sock pattern. He has written and video instructions.
Really enjoyed this video. Since you asked, I will tell you as a 73 year old I do NOT make New Year resolutions, nor do I choose a word for the year. My life goal is to remain healthy so I can attend my grandchildren's activities. We have 11 grands aged 21 to 5. They are all very active in sports, band, orchestra, theater, etc. so we are often out and about. 😊 Happy New Year to you and your family.
My favorite color is also the same moody green as yours and I also do not have a sweater in my favorite color. This year is the year I'm hoping to make at least 2 green sweaters lol!

I have also sort of rediscovered my stash. I have lots of beautiful yarn. 🧶😊

If I get that hang of it I can see myself using it more for the yarn usage! Less leftovers. :D

That's a good idea for UA-cam to avoid scrolling. :D

My goal in life is to be more like a Hobbit. 😆🖤

Oh Fun! I cannot wait to be a grandma! lol Sounds like a busy but lovely time. :)
I love green!!! Do you have an art UA-cam? Or just an Instagram? I’d love to follow it. I love your art!
Green is fabulous! Yeah! @SarahBronskeArt

It is funny how we do that sometimes! I am not sure why I have no green sweaters yet! lol
Make a traveler hoodie. You will love it
I have seen that a lot of people like that one!
