Hey, Friends!
Guess what? This is the year that I FINALLY decided to get with reality about my knitting and crochet project plans. A year can seem like a long time, but in knitting-time, it’s really really NOT.
I finally have a system that took a bit of work to set up and populate, but is honestly bringing me so much JOY that I have no words. (well, except for the words I just typed…this could go round in circles, yes?)
[If you’re here for the spreadsheet sample – scroll down!]
Whether you want a plan, need a plan, or think the whole thing is batsh#t crazy, this video (my first of 2026 – whoop whoop!) explains the hazards of planning and some gentle (and not to gentle) suggestions for FINDING YOUR OWN JOY.
Which may very well mean, no planning at all. In which case, YOU’RE the one who’s laughing, right?
I promised you a sample planning spreadsheet/worksheet and here it is:
And here’s what it looks like:
What kind of planner (or not) are you?
Do you have an awesome system people need to know about?
I’ll keep you posted at the end of each quarter and let you know how well I did (or didn’t) stick to my plan. (I may have been a smidge overambitious…)
Knit well and find your joy!

Knicole, thank you for presenting this to us, your viewers!
I did a quick survey of my WIP’s and the items in my Queue. While you had many 12’s and 11’s on your list, mine struggled to have 8’s! I think I need to ditch knitting and take up something suitable for a 74-yo, like marathon running or mountain climbing.
Actually, I had high numbers for socks, and we can always use socks.
Ha ha! An 8 is a decent score, in my books, as long as that excitement score is at least a 1!
