You've got some good stuff on this list, like that Cowichan jumper project and dyeing your own yarn. And it sounds exciting how you plan to card your own fleece! Is that sock WIP a Cat Bordhi pattern?
ReplyDeleteNo not a cat bordhi pattern - it is this pattern

Very impressive list. Seems like you have been YOPer forever. I think you are the first person I have known that truly darns. I hope you post photos of the before and after of that.
ReplyDeleteok, I promise before and after darning pics.
DeleteThat is quite a list! Looking forward to what you choose from Op-Art Socks. I love that book!
ReplyDeleteIt is a great book, and I am sure I will be started on the knit within a week or so.
DeleteWhat a lovely list. Your socks are gorgeous and I look forward to seeing them finished. Your fleeces sound great and I am really excited to see your progress with them.
ReplyDeletelol. Me too, I hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew.
DeleteWhat a really interesting and varied list. I'm looking forward to seeing how it all comes about over the course of the year and so many lovely projects to watch you complete.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I do love the support this group gives and I always get so many good ideas.
DeleteAn daughter that's just the stuff you can think of now... I just know there will be spontaneous irresistible wonders as well.
ReplyDeleteYou go girl
Oh yes, you know me, I will be adding as I go along.
DeleteSo many unique projects, Mary-Anne. I look forward to seeing all you create. Before and after darning pictures - what a great idea! Looking forward to another YOP year with you.
ReplyDeleteYes I will do before and after darning pics but be forewarned I am not the prettiest darner. lol
DeleteLooking forward to your Op-Art socks. I'm still contemplating whether to get the book or not - I have very small feet so usually patterns don't fit, it feels like wasting money buying a book with patterns I might not be able to use, but then again, those socks are so yummy to look at.
ReplyDeleteYes I have had the book for a couple of years and I am looking forward to making a few different ones.
DeleteWow that is a long, ambitious list. Judging by this year's productivity, I am somehow not surprised at the length of your list. :-)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your knitting and crochet this year.I look forward to seeing your FOs. :-)
