I Want to Knit…

It has been one year (and some change) since I learned to knit and now I am getting ambitious. This is my massive wishful ‘To Do’ list of knitting projects I’d love to undertake. Whenever possible, I specified a yarn that would be my desired ideal to use for it. I know my ideal may not always be the projects ideal, but hey if I don’t try new things I’ll never evolve as a knitter. At least that’s my positive take on it! This is actually my list from last year (2010), but I am reposting it now (relocated from my old blog Spring Stitches) so you can read it before I post this year’s list.
