It might be a new interest for this year, or something that I've had on my list for a long time—but the goal is to get out and do things, even once. I've also made a <a href="http://pinterest.com/ladymoxie/2013-goals/" target="_blank">pinterest board</a> to track my progress.</span><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Pnfxev8CqAI/UTykltfayRI/AAAAAAAAFII/aYCxr12-Leo/s1600/knitting.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Pnfxev8CqAI/UTykltfayRI/AAAAAAAAFII/aYCxr12-Leo/s320/knitting.JPG" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The knit stitch begins...</span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />The first goal for 2013—do something creative. I've seen some amazing knitting projects lately, so I though learning the basics would be a good start before attempting a hat or scarf. <a href="http://www.mindseyeyarns.com/" target="_blank">Mind's Eye Yarns </a>was recommended by a friend—they offer an intro lesson for just $12. I spent approximately an hour learning how to cast on as well as the knit stitch, and I'm excited to have a new creative project to work on.</span><br /><br />What goals have you made for 2013?
