My good intentions for 2013 are largely knitting related:

1. Learn more knitting techniques. Knitters like Helen Griffin have made me realise that there’s more than one way to cast-on (to say the least).

2. Learn more about knitting history and traditions. Visiting museums and galleries like the V&A, I want to make a conscious effort to learn about and draw inspiration from knitting foremothers (and fathers), such as the sock knitters of Sanquhar.

3. Make some patterns. Who knows? I might even be able to sell some.
