January 2026 Crafty Goodness 4/12 Started and Finished

Image
 Happy January!  Well, the goal for January was to start 12 new projects and I want to complete all 12 by June.  I'll number each project as I complete it.  Of course, I will start and finish other things along the way but I'll let you know about the completion of the original 12. This sweater is made using Malabrigo that I purchased on the yarn crawl last April.  I finally finished it!  It  was started last fall so it doesn't count for my Jan 12.

I'll take that as a win! For 2026 my goals and aspirations are a bit different.  I do want to work on my stash!  Part of that will be attained by my jumping on the bandwagon of starting 12 project in January.  Only one of these projects ...
