Second Year of Projects


The Come-Blog-Along group on Ravelry today start our second Year of Projects and I wanted to show you the above picture as a reminder of one of my sadly neglected UFOs which is going to be on my list for this coming year. (By the way I'm going to frog this and start over as I've seen a nicer way of doing it.) Many of the bloggers last year changed their lists quite dramatically, including myself as I think we were all a little ambitious at the beginning.  Some of us have decided to be less specific this year and so, here is my 'list' .....


Work on Wool Eater Blanket (maybe even finish it)
Make Birthday gift for a family member 
Make Mother's Day gift 
Start on Queen Anne Lace cloth
Knitted baby blanket (corner to corner)
Start on a ripple throw as a stashbuster project
And for charity -
Baby's cardigan
Baby's jacket (a first size jacket - near bottom of page) 

July 14 is the date for our first progress post but of course I'll be 'seeing you' again before then.  

Thanks for visiting.

  2. hehe yes, I was definitely a little over-ambitious with my list last year. hopefully the lessons learned will mean far less changing of lists halfway through the year this time around!

  4. Wonderful list, and I love that you've combined crochet and knitting! The Wool Eater blankets are lovely - your beginning piece is beautiful so it must be tough to frog. But I agree, finding a better way of making something makes it worth unraveling!

  12. The square you want to frog looks great to me. Though perhaps I don't know what it's suppose to look like or what you had in mind. Best of luck with it and your wonderful list. We all embark together on this mission.

    The queen anne lace intimidates the socks off me.

  24. So nice to see you back---I kept my list a bit more general this year to hopefully fix that over ambitious streak I have.

  25. Hi Dorothy,many thanks for stopping by my blog - great to "meet" you. You asked about the Aran Tweed kids knitting booklet? I went back to find it myself on the Yarn Queen site and couldn't locate it either, perhaps they have sold out?
    You have some lovely projects and finishes :)
    best wishes, Katrina in New Zealand
