Year of Projects 2 - 2012-13


I've had so much fun working on the first Year of Projects that I can't wait to get stuck into Year Two! It was really interesting to see everyone's different take on what the Year meant for them and I got some great ideas for how to manage my list this time around.

I've built up a small yarn stash in the last year or so, between taking part in swaps and receiving amazing Christmas and Birthday presents from my friends. Most of the new yarn has been left unused until now, as I've been focusing on my first Year's list! So I decided this year would be a stash-busting list, designed to finally give me a chance to knit or crochet up some of my lovely new yarns.

Here's what I'm currently thinking of working on (all links are to Ravelry)

    1. The Arctic Mint was one of the limited colourways; I treated myself to it when I was ordering yarn for swaps and giveaways. It may yet become a pair of socks..

  15. Some gorgeous yarn and love how you've already matched some up with patterns. Love the Kindle cover and added that to my library to find later. I don't have a kindle...but...maybe later. Best of luck to you as we all embark on this mission of year 2.
