On Ravelry there have been quite a few threads posted about making lists and planning for 2010. A couple of them really inspired me so I sat down and made a list of what I'd like to make in the coming year. From there I went through an matched up projects to yarns that I have on-hand and made a list of what yarns I would need to purchase. I've also joined a knit-along following Elizabeth Zimmermann's Knitter's Almanac so I organized my queue into a rough order that I want to work in.
One of the inspiring threads turned into the group 10 in 2010. The idea is to pick 10 yarns that you want to work with and 10 patterns you want to make and doing those projects in 2010. You could end up with 20 projects, though, because the yarns don't have to match up with the pattern, though I tried to match them up as much as possible.
So, here is my list of knitting for 2010 (not in order):
- Elizabeth Zimmermann's Green Sweater
- Fishtrap Aran Hat
- Jane Austen Dress (for girls' birthday)
- Jane Austen Shrug (for girls' birthday)
- February Baby Sweater
- February Lady Sweater
- Maltese Fisherman's Hat
- Ganomy Hat
- Tri-Cornered Hat
- Mitered Mittens
- Mocassin Socks
- Pi Shawl
- Nets to hang fruit (An ornament from Knitter's Almanac, but I'm going to make them for sukkah decorations.)
- No Vest for Old Men
- Knitted Garter Stitch Blanket
- Child Surprise Jacket for girls' Hanukkah 2010 gift.
- A pair of socks for each of the girls and for Aba.
- Four pairs of socks for me.
- Ten dishcloths
- Fiona's Top (made to dress-length) for girls' Posh Hashanah gift.
