A Year of Knitting!

Sun, 31 Dec 2006 21:46:22 GMT

I have a goal, maybe a resolution for this year, if attainable. I want to make one project for each knitting stitch in the 365 Knitting Stitches a Year perpetual calendar. I will count previous projects if I've already used a stitch, for example, stockinette ;). Here goes.

Here are the stitches, in date order, that I have used as of 02/10/2007:

January 6 - Simple Lace Rib (as seen in the IK Simply Lovely Lace socks) - my Love socks
January 23 - Organ Pipes - blanket square
February 15 - Houndstooth Pattern - one of my afghan squares for Stefan
March 1 - Garter stitch - my Unisex tie, among others
March 2 - Stockinette stitch - I know I've used this but I can't think of a pattern!
March 5 - Seed Stitch 1 - Baby Beret for Madison
March 8 - Fleck Stitch - my current socks
March 23 - Tile Stitch - blanket square
March 28 - Garter Stitch Steps - one of my afghan squares for Stefan
April 4 - Stockinette Triangles - blanket square #9
May 4 - Sailors' Rib - Regia socks
May 28 - Slip-Stitch Stripes - blanket square
June 6 - Pennant Stitch - blanket scrap
June 22 - Fancy Slip-Stitch Rib - geranium socks
June 23 - Supple Rib - Temptation Tide socks
June 24 - Uneven Rib - black Legwarmers
June 28 - Diagonal Seed Stitch - blanket square
July 5 - Embossed Rib - purple sock
July 17 - Garter Stitch Checks - The Baby Scarf for the Baby that Has Everything
September 8 - K1 P1 Rib
September 9 - K2 P2 Rib
September 22 - Garter Stitch Ridges - my sweater from high school
December 3 - Garter Slip Stitch 3 - blanket square #8
December 13 - Inverness Diamond - one of my afghan squares for Stefan

Wow, I have a long way to go!
