The List

Now that things have finally settled down, I am ready to pick the needles back up and start knocking some of the projects off my list. The List is a daunting one. It is jam-packed...and with a baby on the way, things somehow keep getting added to it. We don't want baby to be cold, do we?

So (hangs her head in shame), here are the projects that I will try to tackle in 2013. These are projects that I actually have yarn for - yikes! Wish me luck!

1) Sugar Candy Sweater by Sublime -- currently on my needles. Hoping to finish this one soon!


2) Mary Lou's Holiday Stocking -- Yes, I've been working on this for 3 years. Yes, I say I will finish it every Christmas. Yes, I missed the boat on this one again. 


3) Sara by Debbie Bliss -- I don't even want to know how old this yarn is.


4) Montera by Classic Elite Yarns -- Love the buttons on this one. Love the pretty blue color I chose to knit it in. At least the yarn is adding a punch of color to my yarn basket right now.



5) High Neck Cable by Blue Sky Alpacas -- I really, really love this one. I would really, really love to be done with this one.


6) Big Herringbone Cowl by Purl Bee -- I made one of these for my mom. It was a lot of work, so like everything else, the yarn sits and waits!


7) Striped Cotton Cowl by Purl Bee -- Again, I've had this yarn forever. Noticing a pattern?



8) Eyelet Baby Blanket by Blue Sky Alpacas -- I just bought the yarn for this. I chose to go with Ecru since we aren't finding out the gender. Since baby is due to arrive in May, this one will be the next project I tackle.



Honorable Mentions (I don't have the yarn for these YET, but....)

1) Otto by Ysolda -- I just think this would be cute to bring to the hospital.


2) The Beekeeper's Quilt by Tiny Owl Knits -- This one is in the back of my mind. I'd love to use my scrap yarn someday to make this quilt!


3) Howlite by Army of Knitters -- I bought this pattern over the summer. The intricacy of this sweater is a bit daunting, and this project alone would probably take me a year to complete. There is something about those cables, though...


Okay, so who else feels overwhelmed? I must NOT buy new yarn....I must NOT buy new yarn...unless I see something really cute...
