continuing resolution...
Knit Year resolutions...I have been trying to decide whether to participate in some kind of yarn diet this year. It would be the third year in a row to begin with a yarn diet. Instead of looking for reasons why I should be part of a yarn diet, I looked for reasons why not to...As you could imagine, there were very few reason why I shouldn't.
Next, I started thinking of projects that I've been wanting to knit for a while. It wasn't too hard to think of projects that I had already bought yarn for. I also have yarn that will be very easy to find a pattern for. So, I will be yarn dieting, again.
This years rules:
- The 1st seven of '07/Knit-From-Your-Stash will continue until all seven projects are complete
- I will not buy yarn during that period, with the following exceptions:
2.a. Sock yarn does not count. (taken from Wendy & L-B)
2.b. If I am knitting something and run out of yarn, I may purchase enough to complete the project
2.c. I get one "Get Out of Jail Free" card (taken from Wendy & L-B) -- will most likely use this around birthday time. - I must complete 2006 UFOs before casting on for 2007 projects
The list:
- Log Cabin Throw (tbd, wedding gift for a friend)
- Michael Kors Aran tee (Vogue Knitting, Holiday 2005)
- Starsky (Knitty, Winter 2005)
- Fiery Bolero (Interweave, Summer 2005)
- Ene's Scarf (Scarf Style)
- Deep V Argyle Vest (Eunny Yang)
- Hush Hush (Knitty, Summer 2004)
I also resolve to post a leat one knitting picture to the blog each week. Things are very busy Chez needleGirl, but I should be able to snap at least one quick picture a week...Afterall, I did get myself a new digital camera for something.
