Goals for this next three months: January: 1. Make and update the pattern for my “Test Vest”2. Come up with a design for a primarily wool fabric for my vest. Planned structure is twill, but I can vary yarn diameters, etc, to make it more interesting.3. Weave a selvedge rug for the studio (and possibly another for elsewhere) February 1. Sample setts as well as finishing methods for the vest fabric. Try at least *two* different warps.2. Dye yarn and sample for a krokbragd rug for the studio March 1. Dye and weave the krokbragd rug for the studio. Possibly a second for elsewhere.2. Weave the fabric and sew my first vest. Figure out what I liked and what I didn’t like about both garment and cloth.3. Goals for Q2. How’s that? It feels doable and I like having a goal on a month-by-month basis. Smaller bites to eat the elephant. Happy New Year, everyone! I’m going to have some champagne and cake.

Sounds very good! I’ll be interested to see your krokbragd sample and rug(s); I keep being drawn to that structure myself, but I haven’t tried it yet.
And Happy New Year! I’m off to stand on the frigid rocky coast of northeastern Massachusetts, watching for seabirds with old friends.
