A year of projects

I am joining another blogging challenge. This one is running from July 1, 2016 - June 30, 2017. So, yes, I am already late to the party!

First we are to come up with a list of Knitting or Spinning projects for the year, and then every Sunday blog our progress.

So, here is my list:


Since I am late to the party I will include the project I finished yesterday, but would have been on my list if I had written this July 1.
