Woot posting...

Hello again.

This is my second post in two days, which is nearly amazing for me. So today I am having startitis. This may be due to the fact that I refuse to let myself work on Cam's sweater. Because of this I have decided I absolutely hate the sweater I am making for myself and have taken it off the needles, though I haven't frogged it yet. So I spent a lot of time last night trying to figure out something to do with 525 metres of two different colours, 350 of another, and 175 of the last colour. I haven't found anything to do with the DK weight yarn so I figure eventually I will try to reknit the sweater. I have restarted the shawl again, since I screwed up the pattern as I knitted without paying attention. I am going to try and work on it some more today. I have also started a surprise gift today, trying to get it done by Saturday may be a little hard but it's fairly simple knitting and short and I should be able to do it.
I started listening to the KnitPicks podcast a couple days ago. I have recently finished the 10th podcast, I am listening in order of when they were posted. Kelley gave me the idea of doing a challenge of knitting for a year since she is starting a year long challenge following Elizabeth Zimmerman's Knitters Almanac. Something either focused or following some sort of book. I am thinking of doing something like this, maybe just choosing 12 different projects, trying to do something different each month, things that are difficult or involve techniques that I haven't used before. Since I am graduating in June and am not planning on going back to school right away I should, should be the key word, have more time for knitting for the year. This would just mean that I have to finish the mysterious present, at least 1 sweater, a Christmas Stocking, plus all of my Christmas presents. I am also sure I will find something else that I really want to knit before January since I have 8 more months to finish all of these projects.

Well we will see, and I'll spend the next 8 months trawling yarn shops and the Internet for different patterns for myself to use next year.

See you soon,
Lady Polly
