I'll post in now and we'll see how well I do. Maybe it will be fun to watch me get things checked off and change my mind.
So, by 12/2008 I would like to:
- finish convertible and other ufo's that I have
- make several stitch marker sets
- make Bacteria and other things for the lab techs/infection control people close to me
- make several (at least four) baby items to have on hand for gifts to those around me bringing children into their lives
- make the Feather and Fan Shawl from a Gathering of Lace (that's just the link for you to see the pattern)
- make at least two tops for me to wear
- make a blanket for James
- make a purse for Sarah
- make several more (at least six) blankets/bedspreads/afghans for gifts next year.
- make a shawl for a special person
- cross stitch a pattern for my Godfather
- cross stitch a kit I've had in my crafting supplies for years
- make an interesting bead loom project
- grow adept at socks to have them as traveling projects
- make more scarves as traveling projects

Very agressive list -- I have faith that you can do it if you "plan your work and work your plan" a certain project each month -- some suggestions -
I have been making stitch markers out of "clasps" for beading and charms found (both) at michaels or a bead store - quick and easy.
I have heard the Baby Surprise Jacket from Elizabeth Zimmer is very easy and quick (haven't tried it yet... have pattern and yarn though)
A few of years ago I crocheted a couple of afagans with the size K needle and 2 threads of yarn - eyelash (which you can pick up at Michaels right now for a song on clearance) and a fuzzy thinnish yarn that was soft (like mohair). I held them together and did a double crochet back and forth. They looked and felt really nice and not cheep but where quick to accomplish.
Anyways, just some thoughts. I too want to start early 2008 so I have more accomplished and less stress next year --- Merry Christmas, Karrie
