This group has been in the works for the last two months or so and a healthy number of talented and eager knitters and crocheters will be launching their year of projects today, too. So, how should I begin? It's no secret that I'm an avid organizer and love putting things in categories. I was first thinking of putting my projects into themes (accessories, cardis, etc.) but that felt uninspired. Looking at my stash, I thought about categorizing by weight of yarn (bulky, lace, etc.)? Hmm, too nondescript. And then, after going through my queue for the 100th time, I realized that the categories were already in place. I've had many conversations with other knitters about knitting through the seasons and as a New Yorker, seasons are one of my favorite things about living on the east coast.
So, friends, here you have it. My year of projects according to the seasons! I'll be casting on the Make-up Your Mind Tank (designed by the talented and lovely Julie) over the weekend and will post my progress in a couple of days!

ReplyDeleteSomehow it feels just like Christmas today! I suspect I shall spends large chunks of the weekend reading blogs and adding projects to my :heart: list on Ravelry.
ReplyDeleteI love your seasons theme, good luck with that pretty tank!
Your list is so organized and big. I love the patterns for all the seasons. Good Luck.
ReplyDeleteWow that is a BIG list! I love that you're knitting by seasons.
ReplyDeleteI love them all! And the idea of season theme is just great!
ReplyDeleteI have never knit myself a sweater, but you are inspiring more confidence in myself than I should have! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely projects... and happy creating...
What a great list! GIANT! (puts my baby list to shame, I tell ya...) Good luck. Looking forward to watching you move through the seasons.
ReplyDeleteEvelyn, I love your list. I made one at the beginning of the year for myself, and it was two pages long, so I think yours is still on the tame side. :) I, too, organized by season ... and then month-by-month. Unfortunately, while I've made several things this year, only three have been from the list. Go figure. :)
ReplyDeleteHowever, I will be rooting for your list (you have some lovely things on it - I will be especially intrigued to see your Aidez) and maybe I'll indicate which of my FOs are from my list (although I'm not publishing mine ... to protect the guilt-ridden, of course). :)
Your list is fab! Everyone of the patterns are incredibly exciting. I can't wait to follow your progress. At the end you are going to have some amazing FOs.
ReplyDeleteKnowing how you are inclined to try new stitch patterns, this tank is a perfect project for you. I have yet to post my year long list, but you've inspired me!
ReplyDeleteThat is a super way of organising your projects. Tasty ayrn pictures too
ReplyDeletewow, so ambitious! good luck!
ReplyDeleteExciting list! Looking forward to seeing your projects over the next year :-)
ReplyDeleteyour list almost makes me miss the frozen north, almost. It just seems so well thought out. looking forward to watching your projects grow.
ReplyDeleteWow! You've got a long list - I wish I was as ambitious as you! Love it! Good luck with the YOP!
