So its a new year and a significant year, 2010, so I've decided to start two projects which are somewhat related. My first project is "101 goals in 1001 days". Basically I am setting myself 101 personal goals to achieve 1001 days i.e. by the end of 27 September 2012. This can be anything from cycling to work, knitting a jumper to carrying out a solo sky dive.

In order to record my achievements or otherwise I have created a new blog at http://www.cyberspice.org.uk/101in1001/. And my (growing) list of goals with links to pages that describe each goal is here.

The first goal is "A photo a day for at least 365 days". Basically I have set myself the task of taking, and posting to a blog, a photo each day for at least a year. So I've created a new blog for that too at http://www.cyberspice.org.uk/mobblog/. Below is my photo for Jan 1, 2010.

I finished my first knitting project in a long long while. Its a simple knit scarf of 24 knit stitches per row in Rico Design "Roxy" yarn (73% acrylic/27% new wool - 50gm/60m - Colour violet 007). It took four balls to get a decent length using 8mm needles.

Finished Scarf (and Yours Truly)


Finishing it off turned out to be problematic. I didn't realise how much yarn I would need to bind off and ran out half way through. This meant I had to undo the bind off which wasn't easy and I dropped at least one stitch doing it. I then had to unknit a few rows to give me the length needed and to be able to correct the dropped stitch. Whilst doing this the yarn broke. I ended up having to lay the piece flat, take it off the needle, pull off several rows and then carefully rethread the needle. I succeeded though and here it is.
