Setting Goals, Planning Knits

Sometimes it's difficult, sometimes it's inspiring, but it's always certainly character building.

The yarn you see pictured right is destined (in my sanguine mind) to very soon become a few new knits.
To own the truth, at the outset of March and my post-a-day challenge, I had high hopes that I'd have, at the very least, some WIP photos to share with you. As it happens, they simply sit as you see them here, ready in yarn cakes, quietly awaiting their pulling, looping and intertwining dance to creation.

But, on to the challenge!

One of the things I'm trying to do this year is submit proposals to various yarn magazines and publishers, attempting to get published. I'm seeing it as a test of the quality and creativity of my knitbrains; currently I'm waiting to hear back from two different sources. It's exciting, and I'm hopeful.

You'll be seeing a bloggily-written happy dance if the replies to my submissions are favourable. In the meantime, it's off to make something of the lovely madelinetosh yarn you see gracing this post. I only hope I can do it justice!
