So, how's it going?

This is a progress check for my plans for the year, it is unlikely to be of interest to the rest of the world, but keeping an eye on myself helps to get those targets met. There are a few pictures to brighten it up a little.
s
Non fibre related- Work is chugging along, job hunting is a little way off yet so I can skip that one.
s
Shop related- I have all the extra things up that I wanted in my shop, including project bags:
s
s
Dyed yarn:

And some more stitch markers. I have also had a couple of sales which is very exciting.
s
Even more exciting, one of my stitch marker sets was featured in Yarn Forward, I skipped (almost literally) all the way round the shop :D. They are the fruit shaped ones on the left:

s
I have not done my metaphorical shouting from the rooftops yet, but I am working on some images that I can use to advertise what I've got.
s
Other fibre related- I have been yarn dieting along with Tami, only one purchase of two sock yarns from a Rav destash, I managed to resist a massive load of sock yarns that another Raveller was destashing. Here is one of the pretties I did buy:
s
s
Still lots of part balls in my stash, but my cast on ban has meant they stayed put, I have plans for those this month!
s
Sock making is going on schedule, I finished my A and B socks and C are under way, I will have the best dressed feet in town :D
s
WIP clearing is going well, I am down to:
  1. The C sock currently in progress
  2. Chunky sweater
  3. Sock yarn blanket

The ducky socks have been moved from "to be frogged" to long term hibernation. I tried them on again, and they fit better than I remembered so I am going to make sock number two when I have practised colourwork on a different project. Maybe end paper mitts or a hat of some sort.

No Christmas knitting so far, but I may start a few things this month as part of my scrap down.

And I did manage to spend January knitting entirely for me :)
