[...] encountered the Street Smart hoodie soon after I learned to knit – four years ago last month – and dreamed about the day that I could have the skill and the patience to make it. And the yarn – so perfect and blue. It is [...]

[...] I spent a bit of time mulling over the whole “why I knit” concept. And then Lolly posted about her “Someday” projects, the ones she wanted to knit for a while and didn’t [...]

Rogue. I’m still scared of it, even though I know how to knit, have knit several intermediate projects, and have obviously conquered cables…but oh how I love that sweater. Someday!

Lolly, this is a really fantastic post – it’s lovely to hear about how people come to knitting and it makes me think of all the way I’ve come since I started! This of course makes me wonder what my “someday” projects are…I think I might be one of those stubborn knitters who just dives right in to whatever project it is that I want to do, no matter if it’s something that involves a new skill. I suppose I figure I have to learn somewhere, right?

There are so many projects I want to do…Ariann, Poppy, a long sweater coat of some kind, a cozy blanket, a delicate fine-gauge sweater that would take me months…It’s time and money that set me back more than anything else I think!

I’m here to tell you BTW that Fair Isle is something that is entirely do-able and once you start it’s just like socks – addictive, gleeful, and something you’ll want to do again and again.

This is definitely the year of someday projects for me. With my knitting almanac, I’ve got all of my projects planned out and many of them have been sitting for four and five years.

Lolly! I have that book,and have started the same cardigan! I think we should have a “Get Street Smart” knit along! These are all just classic patterns. I’ll be watching your progress!

Right now something colorworked is my “someday” project. And a lace shawl. I seem incapable of folowing a lace chart for some reason.

Cables? I got your cables right here! My first knitting project, which was a sweater, had five cables up the front. It was an xoxo pattern. We started with the back, reverse stockinet. By the time I got to the front, my teacher said there was no reason I couldn’t add cables (I loved cables, still do).

I also love that Urban Aran Patons book. I have it and will do the Urban Aran someday. And the cardigan. (forgot the name.)

But I’m also hugely interested in designing my own. Control freak that I am, I like sweater ‘recipes’ better than patterns.

Someday!
