2. find chunky yarn for chunky wonder


fabriconnection.com has three ply in stock! I recommend that with size nines. Her price is going up I've heard, to $5. Still a good deal.

[pmcgary]

Thanks for the info. I was actually hoping to dig something out of my stash.

I am going to check out Fabric connection anyway.

3. Buy yarn for the tart hat
4. Find patterns to make my niece and nephew sweaters for Christmas
5. Knit all those projects!

In no particular order...

Learn continental style of knitting (have the knit mastered but am struggling with the purl...then add different yarn that isn't easy to work with and this idea is currently in disaster mode)

I designed a pattern to knit a shirt to go with the soaker shorts I just made for Ben to wear for his birthday pictures (he'll be one July 10)...feel the sense of urgency?

Have yarn on it's way to me for three pairs of cargo shorts for other people plus the yarn they bought me in exchange (enough for two soakers and a pair of longies out of much nicer yarn than I've used so far)

In progress...a Baby Tart hat (http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEwinter03/PATTbabytart.html) where I've finished the rim but haven't started the bobble part yet. I'm doing this for fun, but I have too many other "urgent" projects at the moment so this has gotten set aside for the time being

What I really want (need) to make is this french market bag (http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEwinter03/PATTfrenchmarket.html) to carry my projects in. Right now I'm living out of plastic bags from purchases at my LYS and it just isn't working very well...

Back to the continental syle of knitting...I really need to master it because it will help me be faster, and in order to get all these projects done, I need to be much faster than I am now.

Just call me Crazy in Nebraska...

Just call me Crazy in Nebraska...

[Muggins&Doody]

Well, I am boring.
1. Finish my F&F soaker (am about 2/3 done)
2. Take the chunky wonder class (must buy bigger needles)
3. Maybe make some shorts out of my new plymouth outback

[amyrobynne]

Pageta, I love that French bag pattern--I should update my project list accordingly :)

[mhurst]

I am great at starting and planning projects, just not finishing... :oops:

1. finish mama halter top (LTK)
2. finish tasha bag from knitty
3. finish drawstring from second pair of shorts
4. start shorts and longies for a non knitter friend
5. start linen washcloths

then back to soaker/short/longies making for DS.

I also want to make some christmas presents this year, last year I tried, but didn't get started early enough.

[nym]

1. knit gnome for new baby of friend
2. finish ball for baby
3. finish EWS!!!!!!
4. stand by mailbox and wait for yarn from fabriconnection that was sent over a month and a half ago!!!

[mymommyto5]

I don't even want to think about all the stuff I need to do:

1. Dye some yarn so I'll have enough to finish E's EWS.
2. Graft E's EWS
3. Learning the Magic Loop method. I'm a-scared :eek But I must do this because then I can....
4. Do the leg cuffs on the EWS.
5. Start a pair of shorts from the HSY pattern.

Add this to the fact that dh is coming home tomorrow night for the first time in a month and :hide You would think that him being home would give me more time to knit, wouldn't you? But it never does. Somehow I seem twice as busy when he's here :irked

[CraftyMommaOf2]

Hmmm

1. finish and dye tester
2. make soaker and matching tank top tester
3. make my son's shorts before summer ends
4. make a few nb/small soakers for ds on the way (really gotta name this kid)
5. I would LOVE to knit some kind of small sentimental something for the gmas from the boys as a ty because they're both coming out when I have the babe to help.

I know there's more...just can't think of it right now :LOL I like this...makes me accountable to someone :)
