Happy New Years!!

New Year, New Blog!

A while back, we were chatting and it was suggested that perhaps if we had a shared blog, we would be motivated (or shamed) into posting more often. Not to mention it would be a fun way to keep on knitting together while in different cities. Hence the name!

What better time could there be to finally get our balls of yarn in a row and bring this idea to fruition than New Years?

So, without further adieu, our 2007 Knitting Resolutions!

Adriana

This year I would like to knit more out of the stash, though not exclusively (like Heather is attempting to). I want to knit more shawls, now that I have successfully completed one. Now that my gym regime is paying off, I want to knit more sweaters and tanks! I also want to experiment with beads. My to-knit list for the upcoming year looks like this:

• Tubey (in Mission Falls 1824 Wool) from Knitty.com
• Tabachin (yarn unknown) from Eternal Noro
• Shawl (Rowanspun 4ply) in an undetermed pattern
• Socks for my Granny's 90th birthday!
• Lotus Blossom Tank (in Elsebeth Lavold Hempathy) from Interweave Knits Summer '06
  
• Finish my Swallowtail Shawl (in red Misti Alpaca laceweight) for Valentines Day
• A Scarf (in RYC Cashsoft DK) to match Odessa
• Greek Pullover (in some unknown yarn) from Interweave Knits Fall 2005
  
• A special gift for someone!
  

That's it for me, should get me through February at least ;)

My knitting resolutions focus mainly on knitting some of the lovely yarn I have been squirreling away for the past few years! I will not be exempting sock yarn, as the sock stash threatens to eat the cats any day now. I made some last minute purchases in the last few days of 2006, so I am hoping that will tide me over for a while... I also want to try Fair Isle knitting this year, and I want to knit more for my husband. The things at the top of my list are:

• Mike Christmas Sweater: Take 2 (long, sad story there)
• Greek Pullover (in Rowan Kid Classic) from Interweave Knits Fall 2005
• Pomatomus Socks (in Fleece Artist Sock Yarn) from Knitty.com
• Hourglass Sweater (in stash yarn) from Last Minute Knitted Gifts
• Salina (in Rowan Felted Tweed) from Vintage Style/Knits
  
• Log Cabin Blanket (in Noro Kuryeon) from Mason-Dixon Knitting
• Some lovely sweater or cardi (in Jaeger Luxury Tweed)
• Jamesy (in Demin) from knitty.com for Mike
  
• Socks for me (in Trekking XXL)
• Socks for Mike (in Regia Silk)

That's what has been percolating in my brain these past few weeks. I have a 'to-finish' list to tackle before I hit this. Here's to a fresh start!

Our goal with this blog is to update frequently, and with lots of pictures and thoughts to keep us inspired and connected. You are welcome to join us!
