mostly roving, partly stars

 Part of managing my guilt-spiral/perfectionist tendencies is not being too harsh with myself in setting goals - there was a LOT of damage I did to my brain with that, primarily as a student but also in other parts of my life. I still like setting goals, though! Just... gentle ones. So for this year:

• I want to make a good effort to participate in #spin15aday - that is, do at least 15 minutes of handspinning every day. This seems to be primarily an Instagram thing, but since I currently only use Insta for business stuff & my spinning is definitely not professional quality yet, it might just be something I do for myself rather than participating in a tag for it or anything :/ unless y'all really want to hear about my spinning all the time.
• I want to clear all my WIP sweaters off needles, and knit my sample sweater I purchased yarn for today. Casting on other sweaters will be great, but I'm not going to push myself to finish any more than the six total that would make for this year (unless I get more store orders for sweaters, which is definitely a possibility).
• I want to improve my dyeing skills enough to be selling skeins of hand-dyed yarn in our store by the end of the year.
• I want to save enough of my own income to buy myself a fiber tool of some kind that I earned myself!

You may notice a theme here. I have other things I'd like to do with my life, but the fiber crafts really are turning into my calling, and the thing I like to challenge myself with. Hopefully I'll write some more next year. I have some health and family goals that I would LOVE to meet but have only dubious control over. I have my dailies/habits/tasks in Habitica, and I don't want to completely stop doing art or baking. But fiber is my resolutions this year.
