Go beyond the granny square

There are a lot of things I want to learn in 2009. Some of those goals involve crochet. Here is my list as it pertains to crochet -

Learn filet crochet
Learn Tunisian crochet
Crochet a cardigan
Open an Etsy shop
Submit a pattern to a crochet magazine

Two of those goals I will be attempting in January as there are two classes I plan on taking at Crochetville. Etsy might be a good avenue to crochet items that I really have no plan for but want to make anyway. The cardigan will be a real challenge but hopefully will turn out OK. It will be a lot of work but rewarding.

Creating a pattern for submission will hopefully help me develop some real discipline when it comes to pattern making. Usually I just throw them together, so my patterns are probably riddled with errors. The Internet offers to many outlets for self-publishing. I would love to publish more of my work so hopefully having a goal in this arena will help me in the long run.

Now that the Christmas rush is over, I can concentrate on moving forward with these and other projects.
