As Rae wrote to me when I sent her a link to yet another sweater I want to knit (want to wear, really, so must knit), I have quite a line of projects before I can think of something new. Still, I can dream of casting on, and Carole’s topic for this week’s Ten on Tuesday is perfect for such dreams. Okay, fine, Rae, I’ll add some things I hope to finish, too.
Here, then, is my list of Ten Things I Want to Knit this Fall/Winter:
1. Sprossling by Anne Hanson. I tried on the Black Water Abbey model at Stitches East last year and fell in love. I even have the yarn ready for this classic cardi: BWA’s Sport in Pippen.
2. Apocalypta by Amy Herzog (I’m about 50% done). I tried on the model at the Webs book signing event this spring and immediately bought the yarn. Watch out for that Caro and Stitchy! They will coerce you into trying things on that you then Must. Have.
3. Wintery Mix by Amy Herzog. I like the neckline on this, and I think I would wear it a LOT.
4. Elstar Capelet by Erica Lynne. I have some bulky yarn and a hankering for capes.
5. Mohair Bias Loop by Churchmouse Yarns and Teas. I have some Kidsilk Haze and a hankering for…you get the picture.
6. Crocheted knee socks. I’m waiting for this pattern book to arrive. Won’t these socks look great with a skirt and funky shoes?
7. Urban Troubadour Cowl by Mary Lena Lynx. Doesn’t this look so fun to knit?
8. A bolero. Not sure if I want to make Ysolda’s Briar Rose Bolero or Pam Allen’s Streakers Shrug, for which I bought the yarn the last time I was in Taos, lo those many summers ago.
9. Earth & Sky Shawl by West Knits. I have two clues completed, two to go.
10. Hawthorne Shawl. I messed it up when I made it last winter, and I want to rip it out and make it correctly. I love the yarn, and now that I “know” the pattern, I think it will be a fun re-knit.
What do you want to knit this coming “high season” of fiber?
So many of my friends knit Hawthorne last winter, you have to make one, too! And I think all those sweaters will be fabulous on you, especially Sprossling!
Hawthorne is such a pretty shawl! I cna see why it’s so popular. I have Sprossling on the needles right now too. So far I am loving the pattern!
Those socks make me wish I could crochet. So pretty!
There are definantely some projects that I will be adding to my que. I have never seen the capelet before. Thanks for a great list.
I love the crocheted socks! fun list!!
Oh, this has been a dangerous set of posts to read!
I love that Urban Troubadour! Wow! Must add that one to my queue. . .
The Wintery Mix sweater is great! It would look wonderful on you.
