May turned out to see lots of action with respect to 17 for 2017, including another two sets of goals achieved. So, this is progress to date:

A gift vaark
Seventeen… Love Rocks or other little random yarny/sewn gifts. I could claim that this goal has been completed, having put dozens and dozens of hearts in the community garden in Chorlton last Saturday, but I’m only counting this as one ‘act’. I also made a little vaark which was sent as a surprise to one of the administrators for the 60 Million Trebles project. Thus, the total so far is six.
Sixteen… batches of homemade biscuits. Three lots in May means I’m just a single batch away from my goal.
Fifteen… cheeses. I made two lots of Bel Paese-style cheese – it’s really simple, is ready after just six weeks and it’s great for cooking. Th total now is nine
Fourteen… pairs of knickers. None this month, so the total is still six.

Mended with a swirl or two of Sugru
Thirteen… mends. Leggings, pyjamas and two different sets of headphones this month means that I’ve reached my target for the year.
Twelve… letters to friends. None written this month, so the total is still six.
Eleven… new items in my Etsy shop. I’ve added just one item this month, the “Start a Revolution, Plant a Garden” embroidery that appeared in the craftivism display. This takes the total to eight.

Lemongrass, grown from seed, off to a new home
Ten... plants given to good homes. Although I only gave the first plants away last month, I’ve already reached my target, with summer purple sprouting broccoli, lemongrass and chillies accounting for most of the plants that have gone off to new homes in May.
Nine… games of Scrabble. None yet.
Eight… meals using only our own produce. None yet, although there have been several meals that came close.
Seven… visits to see “social media” friends. My visit to Manchester took my total to six.
Six… Pairs of socks knitted, using at least three different patterns. None this month, so still only one made
Five… book chapters written. None yet.

The squares for blanket six of four
Four… blankets for charity; knitted or crocheted. I’d completed this target by the end of February; however, I finished another this month and I’ve nearly finished one more.
Three… sessions in the loft, sorting out some of the accumulated ‘stuff’ up there. None yet.
Two… patterns published and on sale. No new pattern this month, so just the one published in January.

/ June 2, 2017It seems to have about a million ends to weave in! Progress on that is slow, although all the crochet is now finished (just not photographed).
