Bucket List or Goal??

One of the best things about this blog has been the support I am getting from friends and family. (Thanks!!  I love each of you.)  So today as I am sitting at my Thursday night knitting group, I get a text from one of my best friends.  Here is the text message:

"So here's a goal for you for knitting-if you watch the Zac Brown video "keep me in mind"...M's mom knitted his hat!  M. gave it to a security guard at a concert the week before the video was shot!   He delivered it and he likes it...There's a goal-get a celebrity to wear your creations."

Here is my question for you - Is this a attainable goal for this year or should this be moved to the bucket list??

Since I went to Thursday night knitting, I have some progress to be shown on a certain WIP.  I presesnt the Plain Vanilla Sock.  I am still working on what yarn this is and the colorway. 

I completed about 2.5 inches tonight.  It was a very SOCIAL night at knitting.  I think we may have crossed into a dark place a time or two.  There was some revenge plotting that got pretty intense!! 

We all need a little help from our friends!

Day 2 has arrived. I must say it would have been really easy to say I have too many other things to get done tonight - like dishes, laundry, reading for my meetings tomorrow. Enter Words with Friends message from my bestie, S-dawg. She gave me a gentle reminder that she would be looking for a blog post tonight. Thank you, Bestie

I present to you minimal (read 45 minutes of knitting) on Mom's Potato Chip Scarf

I do like how this scarf is really starting to spiral.  I probably should have measured my progress.  I think this might discourage me, especially since it seems to be inching along.

Now S-dawg, I am off to read TWO chapters before bedtime!

Welcome to My World

Hello and welcome to my new adventure for 2012!  One of my goals (I don't like using the word resolution) is to knit more this year.  I was trying to think of a way to hold myself accountable.  I thought why not take a picture every day of the project(s) on which I am working.  This would be great - except then I am the only one looking at them. 

So I thought about a blog.  This way some of my friends & family can help hold me accountable by asking about the projects they see.

To get us started in this adventure, I photographed several of my works in progress (WIP's).  I didn't take pictures of ALL my WIP's, just the ones on which I am mainly working. 

Here they are:

1.  Yarn Harlot Plain Vanilla Socks

I have been working on these for so long, I am not even sure what yarn they are anymore.  If I figure it out, I will definitely share.

2.  Lace & Cable Socks from Socks from the Toe Up by Wendy Johnson

Yarn - Serendipitous Ewe
Colorway - Tulip
Again I have been working on these for a while. I like to say they are resting.

3.  Potato Chip Scarf for my mother

Yarn - Schaeffer's Heather
This is the first things my mom has ever asked me to knit.  Can't say no to that.

4.  Origami Sweater from Frog Tree Yarns

Yarn - Frog Tree
More details on this another day!!

Well, there you have it.  The four WIP's I am willing to share for now.  Hopefully they will be moving to the finished projects sooner than I expected.
