old projects, new yarn--Hello 2008!

I'm gonna do it. I am. I mean it. (This is where Adam chimes in, "What is she talking about now?!")

Current working on...
Clockwise from left: Silky wool yarn, lace-leaf pullover sleeve,
dragon scale cat sweater, Adam's silky wool sweater vest.

While I sat at my desk in my craft room (Ahem, second bedroom), I noticed this: old and current projects strewn across our futon. And, really, I just thought, "Yikes. I need to finish these." Really, my craft room is littered with unfinished projects... Not cute.

So, I will finish them. Before I begin new projects (well, with one exception), I will clear out all the projects that are currently on the needles and take old projects off the shelf and finish them (or frog them and be done with it).

Oh and the one exception? Well, it's really more like 3-4... more cat sweaters. While I was in Boston, MA, my friend bought some super luxurious yarns for her kitty's sweaters:

Luxury yarns for a kitty
From left: Angora by Prism Yarn (2), Louisa Harding's Kashmir Aran (2)
and Kimono Angora (3), and Misti Alpaca Worsted 4ply (2).

Before anything else, I want to get these sweaters done. And afterwards... I don't think I'll knit another kitty sweater again. Ever. haha.

I really think 2008 will be a great year--many changes in store. I have a few goals, too--and not all knitting related. But, I'll save that for another post.

Happy New Year!
