2008 Wow! It is REALLY a New Year!!

How many of you subscribe to the Knitting Daily newsletter from Interweave? I see a couple of hands out there. I see ya Crys! Ha!
Well the other day, it talked about knitting fearlessly and some things to think about. Below are the questions that I do intend to answer after I finish doing this work thing real quick.....

Okay so here are the questions and my answers......


How about you? Did you Knit Fearlessly?
I did not knit fearlessly this year. I would suddenly grow balls to tackle a project but then sometimes I'd just run out of steam midway through it. Could it be stress? Uh yah that was it. LOL It's been a hellova year!

What would you knit in 2008 if you were really the knitter you've always dreamed of being?
A Sweater, a duster, or a kickass cool knit jacket! Those are cool and I've got some great ideas for them.I still haven't knit a sweater! OMG! The closest to a sweater that I have knit was Tank Girl from the SnB book. I need to finally do this and strike it off my to do list.

Here's some things to think about:

• Is there something you haven't tried because it seems Too Scary?
Sweater and Cables, designing more patterns. Although I'm not afraid of sweaters, I'm kind of afraid of starting the knit and then it not fit when I'm done. Like Tank girl.
• Is there a technique you want to learn, or learn to do more skillfully?
Cables and socks. I keep starting socks but not finishing them because I screw them up and have to frog them or they just hibernate at the bottom of my knitting bag because I get to a point where I don't want to continue it. God! look at these procrastinating answers!!!
• Is there something that stumps you?
Not really just over complicated patterns can sometimes
• Is there something that you are dying to try, in your secret knitter's heart, but haven't dared because you think you're not a good enough knitter?
Sweater and dyeing and spinning my own yarn. I have the spinning tools, but I don't know why I've not focused on it and figured it out yet.
• Are you always knitting The Same Old Things, and you'd like to try something new?
I'm knitting instant gratification items ALOT lately. Wash cloths, hats, head wraps blah I'm bored with them.
• Do you always knit for others, and never for yourself? Or perhaps you only knit yourself accessories, but never a lovely cardigan or pullover to wear?
I knit way too many accessories I need sometime more to commit to. I knit for myself and others.It is weird I know. Maybe I'm starting to hit a knit funk. OH NO!!!

What about ya'll? Do you knit fearlessly? Let me know if ya'll post this! I'll come and comment ya!!!

So if you take a look at the side thingy that says "2007 Knitting Project list" you will see that I've accomplished quite a few. See 2007 Completed knitting projects. It doesn't include the countless number of dishcloths and headwraps I've knitted. I'm happy with what I've accomplished. I would like to knit another Norberta eventually. It has been tough swinging back into my knitting groove lately.
Mostly because I am tired alot!!
I'm pondering alot of potential "To Do" things lately. I'm still trying to decide what knitting projects I want to do for the new year.

Until I finally get it together (sometime this weekend hopefully) here's the latest pics of Symi-D.
Before: (She saw her friend right when I was taking this with my camera phone thus the blurry pic)

After:

OMG Where did her hair go? LOL Yep she wanted it short, I was tired of battling tangles daily. Doesn't she look cute? LOL

Alright folks, time to do some Saturday Morning Cleaning!!
Love ya'll!!!
