Saw this on Instagram, posted by @plansbyrochelle and thought it might be a bit fun, so I started to create a mental list and realized that I really should share it! I technically started this list in my head over a week ago, which means I’ve already gotten at least a couple done.

The main reason I really liked this idea is because it helps the year go out with a bang (hopefully) instead of letting the last weeks of the year slip by and then trying to start new things in the New Year. I want to get a jump on this stuff NOW and just keep right on running into 2019. Make sense?

So here’s my 19 before 2019 things-to-do.. hoping sharing it will create a sense of urgency so I’ll get it all done. But you know, if I don’t get every single thing — ALL THE THINGS!! — done, but maybe most of them, well, at least I got those done. Which is still a feat considering some of the stuff I have on here. Okay, I’m rambling. Here’s the list…

1. release a new design — done! Travelog is live!
2. finish one of the three cardigans I have OTN!!!
3. photograph and upload my latest stash enhancement to Ravelry — done!
4. start my podcast
5. finish a design
6. pay off a credit card
7. get a haircut — done!
8. start working out again
9. find my word for 2019
10. start blogging weekly
11. stay off sweets except for a couple cheat days (like Christmas)
12. find a new knitting podcast to watch — done! Listening to Voolenvine! :D
13. make my boy a scarf — done! (photos coming soon!)
14. finish playing through Ori and the Blind Forest
15. DON’T BUY ANY MORE YARN!!!
16. knit my Ugly Christmas Sweater Socks from my Hey Sister Yarn Co. kit!
17. get my external hard drives configured so I can empty photos from my computer
18. finish the quote tattoo I started last year — done!! (pics coming once it heals)
19. block at least 1 FO that hasn’t been blocked yet

So yay, I actually came up with 19 things!! lol. I was wondering if I would be able to. As excited as I am about it, now that I’ve come up with the list, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed. I guess I’d better get to knitting since a lot of those things are knitting-related. @[email protected]
