2022 day 1

It’s the first day of a new year!

2021 was interesting… to say the least. The second year of the pandemic looming, I was determined to do something so that didn’t look back on the year and think … what did I accomplish with all that extra time? In part, I…

completed my first 100-day dress challenge and made a lot of wonderful friends along the way.
cut 2 feet off my hair.
learned APPLACHIAN FLATFOOT AND CLOGGING
knit 14 sweaters, a couple of pairs of socks and a few hats.
changed jobs
participated in Inktober
cut out refined sugar and carbs… and lost 20 lbs
moved full time to Portland
and…
ripped out an entire front lawn and replaced it with garden boxes and a watering system.

For the next 100 I plan to continue with another 100-day dress challenge (same idea, different dress), work on art every day, give away 100 items, and buy nothing but essentials.

I am also planning on knitting another 12 sweaters…. or 6 sweaters and 6 pr of socks. I haven’t quite decided on that yet!

For those of you new to this blog …I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool& — Same dress. 100 days. Details are on tracywearswool.com

JANUARY 1, 2022 – DAY 1

Having a wool dress to slip into this morning was a lifesaver. After oversleeping a bit, I threw on the dress and a trusty Columbia Sportswear wool sweater, leggings, and boots in about 3 minutes.

This afternoon, I worked on my website — and updated my 12 sweaters in 2021 knitting page, and worked on a little ink and watercolor drawing.

I discussed chair rights with my two housemates, but was outnumbered.

Finally, I bagged up some items to post on my neighborhood buy nothing group.

Thanks for joining me on my #tracywearswool journey.

Stay tuned for the next 99 days!

Be well, and get out there and enjoy yourself.
