Knitsense: Summer Knitting Goals

Have I mentioned before how much I love a contest? Well, I do. And so...I have entered yet another blog contest, and it's a good one because not only do I have the chance to win some Blue Sky Alpaca Dyed Cotton yarn and the Fitted Tank pattern; but, this contest will help motivate me to get some things done.

The contest is from Skeins her way... Read more about it here. If you follow this link, be sure to mention that you saw it on Knitsense since every referral earns me an additional entry...yay!

I'm usually not very much into setting goals. I'm more of an "in the moment" kind of gal, especially when it comes to knitting. But, I do have a lot of knitting to do this summer and I think that setting some knitting goals is just what I need to get myself organized. So, here it goes...

By the end of summer/August, I would like to have completed the following WIP's:

Horcrux Socks (Six Socks KAL)
RSC Inside-Out Socks
RSC Grasshopper Socks
Monkey Socks
Beaded Brocade Socks

Yeah, I know...that's a lot of socks. And, those are just the ones that I want to finish by the end of summer...okay, continuing on with what I'd like to complete:

Noro Silk Garden Danica (Entrelac) Scarf
Prism Fiber Arts Bag Shawl
Peapod Baby Sweater and Hat
Noro Silk Mountain Sleeveless Jacket
Lace Style Little Silk Shrug
Streaker's Shrug

Holy moley! That's a lot of finishing. Well, we'll see...

By the end of summer, I would like to have started the following:

RSC June Sock
RSC August Sock
Victorian Lace Sock (SixSocks KAL)
Gedifra Pattern #1020-Highlights 72 Jacket
IK Lotus Blossom Tank with LanaKnits Hemp yarn
Mrs. Beeton's Gauntlets
Lacewings Shawl in Handmaiden Sea Silk

And, more socks. Oh, the joys of casting on...

Finally, by the end of summer, I would like to have resurrected, and continue to work on, the following UFO's:
