2014 Reflections
As I've mentioned before, I'm not one to make resolutions for the new year but I always like to take time to think about what has happened in the past year, reflect on lessons learned, the good and tough moments and think about how to make the next year even better in all areas of life.
But of course for the purposes of this blog I always have to list out my fiber-related accomplishments:
- Completed 29 knitting projects
- Wrote 42 blog posts
- Taught 42 hours of classes
- Continued to work at WoolWinders Yarn Shop
- Participated in (and completed) my first MKAL
- Launched the new DrChopSuey Knits logo (with a revamped blog/webpage ready to be launched soon!)
- Created the DrChopSuey Knits Facebook Page with information about classes, projects and all things fiber-related
- Maintained the DrChopSueyKnits Twitter feed

- #1 item - still cancer free! Let's keep this one going!
- Read 34 books (12 more than last year!)
- Walked/ran 4,161,997 steps and 9,612 flights of stairs (that's 186,002 more steps and 2,446 more stairs in 2014!)
- Traveled to Europe for the first time (I had only traveled to Asia previously), not just once but twice!
- Completed a year (pretty successfully) at work (they haven't sent me packing yet, ha!).
- Met a lot of amazing people from all walks of life

Clearly 2014 was a great year for my fiber life as my knitting teaching career really took off. I never thought I'd be teaching but I have to say in absolutely loving it. I am learning to become a better knitter and communicator by teaching others. It's an added bonus that I've made a little money and amazing friends along the way.
So what does 2015 have in store? Obviously we have no idea yet. What I do know is that my career (that actual work thing I do with clinical terminologies, not my fiber hobby) is also starting to take off so I'll be busy with that part of my life. And the hubs is getting involved me with his profession too. So this family may have a very busy professional year in 2015. But whatever happens - it should be fun. Looking forward to spending time with you and sharing my adventures for another year!
