Year of Projects

Knitting for the test knit it has given me a new appreciation of goals. It's nice having a goal to push you through the last bit of boring stockinette stitch or to forge through that tough part of a pattern. With that in mind I stumbled across the ravelry group Year of Projects. The goal is from July 2012-June 2013 to knit a list of projects that you have picked out. It can be a list of your own making, or you could choose to knit through an entire book, as long as in the long run you have completed your goal. I have tried to keep my list short and have included my WIP's in my basket. You can find my partial list here in my rav queue and I will update the following list in a post at least monthly. I am looking forward to the push to get some of these things that I have been promising to do, done.

First I will work on the gloves for myself and my sister. The tricky part will be finding uninterrupted time to work on my sisters, the pattern takes a lot of concentration and my usual knitting time has been swallowed up by daycare.

Next I will work on some Christmas things. I want to knit a few ornaments for Stomper's Advent Tree. I also need to knit myself a Christmas stocking to uphold my "One Christmas Stocking a Year" goal. Last year I knit this one for Jason and this year I plan to make one for me, but with a twist. Not sure yet exactly what, but it will probably involve some color work.

After that I'm not sure what I'll tackle.

Here is my list:

Pembroke Vest
Christmas Stocking
Finish Kat's gloves and mine too
Two Plaid Hunters Hat 
The squirrel/hedge hog
Six ornaments for Stompers Advent Calendar:

1. Christmas Sweater
2. Christmas Stocking
3. Candy Cane
4. Christmas Bell
5. Tinsel
6. Christmas Ball

Something from the book The Expectant Knitter
Finish a bear I started from the Nursery Baby Doll pattern
A pair of socks for the hubby that will actually fit him
Milo Vest 
Something Girlie -- possibly something out of The Expectant Knitter
