I know that last year, knittingdaily.com started the whole idea of knitting fearlessly and whatnot, but I'm always late to jump on a bandwagon, so here we are.
Besides, I was talking to Tamar and told her that 2009 would be the year I give up mindless knitting and try some challenges. Her and I both need shawls, and of course *she* wants a mohair one and I really have a terrible time with that stuff. I guess I can try again.
The other reason for this year of challenges is, well, I'm kinda getting bored. I've knit four headbands in the past month. Mainly cause they're quick and people love them. But it is SOOOOO mindless. I'm knitting socks now that is the second time I'm using this pattern. Mind you, I'm using a much smaller yarn than called for, so there was some math, but really - k3, P1 over 80 sts. makes me want to stab my eyes out a little bit.
So yeah. I figured I would make my point/resolve here - so it makes for some sort of accountability. I guess...
