Knitting Goals

Totally stolen from inspired by Christie!

Knitterly things I would like to accomplish by May 1, 2006.

Finish a fair isle project. Any project.
Finish my 2nd Hourglass sweater. Pretty doable, as I've already started a sleeve.
Post more pictures on my blog. I promise, I will start doing this!
Make a scarf for my aunt. She outright told me to, and I have the yarn for it.
Use up 25% of my stash.
Calculate how much stash I have so I can come up with 25%**
Intarsia. 'Nuff said.
Make a sock. Or two.

I think I can do that in four months. That list is pretty reasonable, right?

------------------------------------------------

Bar names I have thought up:

Can You Beer Me Now? Good!
Lager-rythms
It's Ale Good

------------------------------------------------

Possible Secret Santa Gifts I Shall Give as Revenge For Last Year's Disappointing Gift (a tin of generic butter cookies) (yes, I am still bitter, why do you ask?)

Phone Card
Socks
Promotional Drink Coasters
Haggis
Cans of Bud Lite (5)
A Fimo-clay Ashtray, made by yours truly in under 5 minutes
------------------------------------------------

Smoking update: Only four cigarettes total for yesterday. One fifth my usual intake! Today I'm hoping for only three, but I don't know. I was trying for just two but when I tried to skip my lunch smoke this urge to pick up a shot gun and "thin the herd" came over me.

 

**Hmm...I seem to have received 11 skeins of yarn in the mail. The stash maths will be difficult.

You are a total copycat! That's okay, I could never come up with a brilliant tagline like yours.
Your list is totally do-able. You might get sidetracked [I did] but who doesn't? My only thought would be to start the fair isle or intarsia project early so you if you get tired you can take breaks from it.

Eleven skeins in the mail. You are spoiled rotten! So show us pics of your stash. We are all waiting.

And yes, your list is doable.

Haggis?
Phone card = pure brilliance.

Dude I can send you my tangled up fingering cotton and you can unravel that whenever you feel like smoking...sound like a plan :)?! Hee.

And Lager-rhythms....brilliant!
