I was searching for something on magic striping yarn and came across this knitting blog. I am truly inspired to show everyone my knitting progress year long.
So look forward to pictures of my
FO (finished projects) of 2007
UFO (unfinished projects) of 2007
and my Works In Process for 2008.
I also like their idea of maintaining yarn stash by using 2 skeins before you add 1 skein back to the stash
Projects for 2006
1.Towels/ washcloths for my kitchen
2.Purse felting (my newest knitting adventure) I have yarn for 3 in my mind 2 of them Christmas presents
3.Socks I need to make a match to one I have made for a gift, start a new pair for an aunt, and make myself a pair. Since finishing my first pair of socks I have become overzealous and bought lots more sock yarn. The lady that writes in the blog linked above made 28 pairs of socks in 2007 and other projects! If she isn't a homemaker I feel lame-o.
4. Finish a charity blanket that I have had in process since Junior year.
5. Make a ripple blanket. I made one and ended up giving it away. It was probably one of the coolest things ever though.
6. Knit for charity. I have a goal of 8 hats by the end of year. I am going to branch out and probably make some other things for charity too this year.
7. Perhaps a T sweater for children in Africa.
8. Start a charity knitting group within my small group for church. there is alot of interest in knitting and Christine is encouraging me to head it up with her roomate Jenny. It could seriously be one of the coolest opportunities ever. I am so glad I continued with the Lighthouse small group even if they meet way across town 25 minutes from my apt. Who knows, maybe when I move in July I will find a house near Grandview, which would put me farther from the church itself.....
9. Mittens! Jenny is going to teach me how and I am going to teach her to do socks.
In other notes. I have been thinking more about how to serve at church and they have an English as a second language program. I am kinda interested in this, and I liked working with the Chinese students at WSU, but this program isn't one on one its teaching a group all at once. So, at the church knitting group Sunday one of the ladies works with the GED program and I was thinking next time we meet I might ask her if I could help out with math, English and Chemistry. Hopefully mostly math though. =)
