Introduction

Hi there!

This is my first ever blogging experience and I am super excited. I've decided to make myself more accountable to my knitting and hope this experiment will do the trick. I do love to knit but find myself mostly talking about knitting. I have a fair stash of yarn, patterns, books and not nearly enough finished items to justify it all.......you can check my Ravelry page to understand more fully!

I've been inspired by  Yarn Harlot's "self-imposed sock club" and have decided to make myself a "Project of the week" club. There are several popular knitting projects out there that I think are great but have never knitted, i.e. Monkey socks, Jaywalker socks, Clapotis......just to name a few. Also, I know some people have knitted their way through EZ's Knitter's Almanac which, again, has several patterns I'd like to try.

So, I'll gather up yarn and patterns for some of the most popular items out there, plus a few others in my queue, and put them together in their own little kits. Some items may take longer than a week to knit....like Pioneer, the sweater I promised my daughter over a year ago. Might better make that my first project!

No one may ever read this but, I know it's here and making a promise to myself in print will, hopefully, jump start my knitting engine into knitting action.
