Knitting in 2009

This is the list I wrote up at the end of '08/very beginning of '09.

Hypoteneuse Wrap

Calorimetry

Toast

Sandy's socks

Sag's socks

Cap's socks

Thorpe

Gem's scarf

Fletcher

Cavendish

Dolores Park Cowl

Maine Morning Mitts

I have an unfinished project, Leo's baby blanket, left over from 2008. I'm more than halfway done and need to return to it.

I've completed three projects off this '09 list already: Calorimetry (2x), Toast (2x), and Thorpe (2x).

I'm planning on knitting another Thorpe complete with crocheted border. The one I made for myself is really too big and I'm not in love with the color. But, it was a good test knit.

Sag's socks are on the needles, I am almost done with the first one. He tried it on this morning and I was surprised that he didn't find them itchy.

Sandy's socks are definitely not going to be knit in time for her birthday. Working with the tiny needles on Sag's socks has been a wake up call. I'll be putting some thought into what to knit her that can be finished for the end of February...

The Cavendish and Hypoteneuse will be "big" projects along the lines of the baby blanket. I'll be using cotton/silk for the Cavendish and wool/silk for Hypoteneuse and so think that I'll be able to knit these in warmer seasons without getting hot and bothered.

I'm thinking Maine Morning Mitts might come next. After the blanket and socks :-)

Happily (or sadly, depending on your perspective) I have all the yarn I'll need for all these projects. I don't have all the needles. I'll be scouring Michael's with my 40% off coupons as much as possible.

There are some other projects I've added to my queue in Ravelry since the new year has dawned, namely, the Shalom cardi. I really want to knit this, have picked out the yarn and earmarked Christmas money for it. But, I may wait till fall since I have an ample list already. And I probably wouldn't get it done in time to wear this season even if I tried.

Another project is the Scaruffle. I'm going to use my anniversary gift yarn for this and have requested the book the pattern is in from the library. This one I might do sooner than later because it will be relatively quick. And oh so pretty .
