2013 - Fiber Art Goals and FO (to date: 15)

As I look forward to the remainder of 2013, I think about my fiber art goals and wonder what will they be.

Right now, they are VERY simple and to finish current WIP:
I would also like to:
  • Get my craft room/office set up: 
    • as of 1/7/13 -- "new" (used) desk purchased and working well, need comfy couch that can fold out to a bed (or futon, but having a hard time convincing my honey that a futon is comfy to sleep on!);
    • March 16- new sofa-sleeper was delivered 3/15, it is lovely and has really got me going to finish the organizing and setting up.
    • More or less DONE!
  • picture and record my entire stash of yarn/fiber (roving and yarn) on Ravelry;
    • March 16- no progress
    • September 27 -- photographed and entered 98 skeins (40 different yarns/color ways) on to my Ravelry account
  • find a nice yarn that will hold up well to washing and wearing for socks for my honey (worsted weight).
    • March 16--have purchased some nice Cascade 220 Superwash - yet to cast on for him
  • knit at least one item per month (12) for the year;
    • March 16 -- Half way through 3rd month, have completed 4 items (2 were dish cloths, but I have decided that if I count long projects like the Every Way Wrap as one, then simple projects like Dish Cloths also count as one!  I do also have my Busines Casual Socks 3/4 of the way finished and they should be off the sticks by the KAL deadline of March 25
    • September 27 - 13 items completed (6 of them NOT dish cloths).
    • October 14 - 8 items that were not dish cloths!
  • knit at least one item from each of the knitting books that I haven't already knitted from (as I type this, I am thinking of the book Arctic Lace by Donna Druchunas---but it is lace and I'm not fond of lace, but I own the book and I live in Alaska and that is what the book is about, so I should..........)
    • March 16 -- no progress
    • September 27 -- uh, yeah, well NOPE!
