Knitting Goals for 2016

I noticed that people are doing these more, often now... and I know it is almost the end of January, but why not try!
(ps I am not much of a goal driven person so this is new)

1.) Knit with animal fiber
     I always use acrylic yarn because it is quick to get and cheap. I thought that I can boost my confidence in knitting if I use more expensive yarn. I think I would focus more...

2.) Try other peoples patterns
      This might seem conceded, but I only use my patterns, or I make stuff up as I go. Other peoples patterns, I am not really drawn to, but I am going to start, this is going to lead to my next point.
 Some I think i am going to try:
- The Across the Pond Shawl, designed by Mina Philipp
- The Fidra Hat
-Damask Rose
-Trill Sweater.

3.) Knit 12 Pairs of socks.
Pretty self explanatory

4.) Design a book.

5.)Knit for charity.
- I always want to help out the society, this is a good way to right?


These will be all for now... but looking forward to updating them! :)
