Weekly Goal Wrap Up, 11/13

I feel very much like I kicked some butt this past week. But it was a big list, I started late, and I know i didn't get everything so lets see what the list says:
    1. 16 multi colored crochet circles - So many colors, so much fun.
    2. Spin double ply alpacas of york - It was fun and the yarn was surprisingly squishy.
    3. Test yardage for alpacas of york scarf - Although I was mostly experimenting so the knitting was pretty rough and maybe not the most exact test.
    4. 1 color work ornament - I think I made at least one of these in stripes which is almost cheating but works. Although this list vs. the one prior is kind of all blurring together so who knows.
    5. Finish mitten -After failing at the next item I went and rocked my mitten thumb to make myself happy again.
    6. Sew bag lining -Utter fail. I was spending lots of time and being extra awesome to sew the most beautiful bag lining. But I cut the bag to my intended width instead of the width with seam allowances. For a while I thought it would still be ok, but it was not. Gah. And of course I was good and bought a small amount so I didn't have enough fabric for a second try. Very annoyed with self.
    7. Piece multi color bag - I've made it almost half way but there's still the rest to go and I decided to sleep instead of keep hooking.
    8. 3 color work ornaments - Thought about these guys and am totally loving them but ran out of time.
    9. 2 solid ornaments - Thought about these guys and am totally loving them but ran out of time.
    10. 1 knit squirrel - He is so stinking cute.
    11. 2 knit bunnies - Seriously these little knits need a post of their own to describe/depict the awesome.
    12. Prep 2 oz of Rosie - My carding technique is improving methinks.
    13. Spin 2 oz of Rosie - And, despite some initial questionable spinning, I am getting to be super fast and much more even at spinning Rosie.
    14. Prep 2 oz of Alpacas of York - This project has more or less officially been moved to the back-burner as it doesn't have such a hard, or soon, deadline.
    15. Spin 2 oz of Alpacas of York - This project has more or less officially been moved to the back-burner as it doesn't have such a hard, or soon, deadline.
    16. Crochet fast scarf from bulky yarn - Bulky yarn may be my new favorite thing ever. So fast and pretty darn awesome.

    Hmm...not quite so much bolding as there could be but I'm quite happy with my accomplishments. Plus it's actually less than a weeks worth of stuffs so extra awesome. And I'm feeling good so I fully plan to keep this ball rolling into next week.

    I really like the blues in crochet circles.
