2007 Knit List

If you're a freaky-deak knitter like me (or if you're even worse than me), you end up with tons of web links, knitting patterns from books and magazines, and sketches that just pile and pile and pile until you have such a huge library of things you want to knit, but haven't even attempted. In the case of my "purgatory of knitting dreams and desires," some of the items span back to the year 2000. So this year, I'm going to try something new. Instead of just adding more items to my wish list, I'm going to attempt to tackle what I do have. Of course, that doesn't mean I won't add more items. As any crafty ninja knows, the more you look at magazines and blogs, the more you add to your list.

The 2007 Knitting
(Compiled from the Land of Knit Purgatory)

• Backyard Leaves Scarf. Interweave 2006 Holiday Issue. (The Manflesh Mother's 2007 Christmas gift.)
• Swirling Ribs Sweater. Adrienne Vittadini, Fall 2001.
• Roman Holiday Dress. Vogue Knitting, Spring/Summer 2006.
• Embroidered Socks. Vogue Knitting, Fall 2006.

• Totoro Hat—pattern to be based from the Totoro Baby Bonnet.
• Lace Shawl—no pattern.
• Re-envisioned Samus Sweater. Knitty, Fall 2005. (The idea's cool, the execution not so much.)
• Melon Scarf for The Manflesh Mother's birthday. Done.

Well, that's it for now. I'm afraid if I add any more, I'll feel overwhelmed and slack off.
