Top 5 for 2005

Hmm... the year is wrapping up, and everyone seems to be thinking about their knitting resolutions. I'm not quite there yet, but I can steal an idea from Sweet Georgia and give you my Top 5 for 2005:

1. New (to Me) Technique: Hmm... this would basically be everything I know except knit and purl. I learned how to cable, pick up stitches, knit with double-pointed needles, new cast-ons, all kinds of good stuff.

2. Favourite FO: This is easy. My Midwest Moonlight scarf. Love love LOVE it! I wear it all the time.

3. Favorite KAL: Well, I never got around to knitting those gloves I planned to make for Nona's Peaceful Palms KAL, so I'm going to have to go with the Sexy Knitter's Club's Picovoli KAL starting in January.
4. Favorite Shop: I do love petting the yarns at my LYS, but for a good value you can't beat KnitPicks and Discountyarnsale.com. It took me a while to discover that there was more to online yarn shopping than Elann (good prices, not so great selection).
5. Favorite Tool: Denise circular needle set. So useful! I have barely had to buy any needles since I got it.

Hey girly, you need to give me the info on this sexy knitters club thing. It so sounds like fun. I can barely call myself a knitter yet, but I am definitly sexy:). Where are ya'll going for chritmas? We are going to my families festivities in Ark and then to Dane's in Il in early Jan. So hopefully I wont miss the knitting club kickoff.

Nice list. I'm still working on my resolutions and goals for the new year. Maybe next week I'll have it figured out.

Woohoo Picovoli KAL!!! I may just have to try a set of those Denise's... I've heard so many good things about them.

This is a good idea - I should think about this too ;)

Hey Zarah! I love Elann and KnitPicks too -- Discountyarnsale is great for prices but sometimes the delivery time is brutal. Congrats on all the new-to-you techniques! Happy New Year!
