So here we go again. This year my goals are about colorwork: a small starter project in Fair Isle (Intarsia is all I've ever attempted) and then something that requires steeking (what's more fearless than cutting your knitting?). I've picked out the first project — the Fiddlehead Mittens, a pattern that I continue to love with each new version that hits Ravelry and one that Julie of Knitted Bliss has inspired me to tackle. As for the steeking, maybe one of the blankets in the second Mason-Dixon Knitting book? Definitely open for suggestions, so please post if you have them.
Also, I've got long-delayed FO shots for my old group of Twin Cities Public Television noon crafters. The 2009 log cabin afghan for my sister and brother-in-law that they saw lots of in its early stages but never got photographed when finished. When I saw it out during my visit this year, I staged a mini photoshoot so I could complete my Ravelry queue. (Yeah, I'm a bit of a completion nut; it's pretty sick how much I love checking off those lists! ;-) And you'll notice I remembered to photograph the FOs this Christmas. Happy New Year and new knitting!
Awesome knitting goals! I was a lot more apprehensive abotu the Fiddlehead mittens before I started knitting them, too- I don't do colourwork often, so I was a bit intimidated. But they were so addictive, and it was so much fun to knit... plus I desperately needed a new pair of warm mittens. I wear them every day, and I love them to death.
