Theme for the New Year

Making resolutions has never been a priority for me, and  setting goals makes me nervous.  However, giving myself a needlework theme for the year seems to keep me focused.  The theme for 2004 was Family Knitting, and I think I did pretty well.  ABM was the only one who didn't get a handmade item, and if I try really hard I could probably make his scarf by Friday. 

For 2005, I am leaning toward The Year of the Afghan.  There are so many afghan patterns I want to try, but I have been scared off because I have  trouble completing large projects.  However, I think if I focus on afghans that consist of squares or strips I might be able to finish two or three next year. 

My other choice for a theme is 20th-Century Knitting.  I have a small collection of vintage patterns that I have never used.  My idea was to confine myself to patterns that were printed before 2000 and document my progress on my blog.  The main difficulty I see with that plan is that many of the patterns would require me to do some MATH (ahhh!) to make them wearable.  Still, I am attracted to the idea of having a 1950s-style sweater or two in my closet.

Any thoughts?
