Creative goals 2026 mid-year checkin
Time for a mid-year check in on how my Creative Goals 2026 are progressing! I’m a bit later than usual because I was busy doing some other creative projects at exactly the 6 month exact-middle-of-the-year point, which honestly feels like a good sign. 1. Set up my new creative space This has been such…

Creative Goals 2026 (Formerly Fiber Goals)
For the past 10 years, rather than doing new year’s resolutions I’ve been doing “fiber goals.” The idea has always been to set goals around chasing joy, directing my creativity, and making space in my life for things I want to do. But I don’t think that’s going to be as much about fiber this…

Forgot a new thing!
In my previous post about fiber goals I’d claimed not to have done anything new in July, but I forgot I made a book nook! It’s not apparent from the photo but it’s sized to fit on a bookshelf. This was a kit I bought online a year or two ago. I did decided some…

Fiber Goals 2025 mid-year check-in
This year’s goals were as follows: We’re a bit more than halfway through the year so let’s see where we’re at! Revisit Old Goals Started strong in January by finishing up a rainbow shawl that had been on the needles for quite some time: I’d intended to release the pattern since I had an old…

Fiber Goals 2025
This is my 10th year setting “fiber goals” as a fun way to direct my crafting for the year. I’ve come to feel like setting goals around creativity and joy and focusing on accomplishing things I want to do is important. Especially in contrast to a lot of traditional new year’s goals that are kind…

Fiber Goals 2024: How did I do?
My 2024 fiber goals were as follows: I already did a mid-year 2024 writeup so I’m just going to talk about the second half of the year here. Gift yarn I finished the lighthouse shawl: And I started in on a pair of socks with a funny colourway called “Introverts Unite” that apparently I haven’t…

Fiber goals 2024: mid year check-in
I’m a bit overdue for a look at this year’s fiber goals. They were as follows: Gift yarn I thought gift yarn would be an easy one, but I’ve hardly used any! When I started this goal I wrote down 5 skeins/sets in hopes of inspiring myself to make plans, but so far I’ve only…

Fiber Goals 2024
Since 2016 I’ve set “fiber goals” as a fun way to direct my crafting for the year. I’ve come to feel like setting goals around chasing joy and doing things I want to do is important, and these resonate differently than many traditional new years resolutions that are kind of guilt-based. Links to previous years…

Maker Objectives and Key Results
Work made me do a training on “Objectives and Key Results” which is just a business-y version of the goal setting techniques I learned in grade school: choose something big you want to do, even if you’re not sure all the steps to get you there or it’s not a thing that ever finishes, then…
