There hasn't been much knitting going on for a few weeks. Unusual, but true. We had out of town visitors, I started a new volunteer position at a local community art gallery, and spring fevers have been making the rounds through our house. My daughter is the latest victim. Poor thing.
I did manage to think about knitting quite a lot. Longingly. I came up with (sort of) a knitting/ spinning bucket list. It isn't complete, but it's a start. Hopefully, it will be useful if I ever run into knitter's block (y'know. . .like writer's block). Regardless, it was fun to create. Do you have a knitting/ crafty bucket list? List 10 items on your list in the comments by May 15th and I think we will have our first raffle. I have a beautiful little set of stich markers my mother made. Pictures later - I'm coming up with this off the cuff and wasn't prepared tonight. . .bad me.
Kimberly's Knitting/ Spinning Bucket List:
1) Knit a sweater for each of my kids (2 down, 1 to go)
2) Knit every sweater/ scarf/ pair of socks in A Fine Fleece by Lisa Lloyd
3) Take a class from Franklin Habit - any class, but especially a photography one (and get his autograph)
4) Knit at the top of the Eiffel Tower
5) Get Hannah Fettig's autograph
6) Knit a full sweater out of Elsawool
7) Buy one of every color of Lisa Souza sock yarn and knit a plethora of socks
8) Knit in front of the White House, the Lincoln Memorial, and the House of Congress.
9) Knit something that could be considered artwork - a wall hanging, sculpture or the like
10) Get a spinning wheel with a large enough orifice for spinning art yarns
11) Spin art yarn - especially with beads
12) Finally get that podcast up and going!!!!
13) Meet Meg Swanson and get her autograph too!
14) Travel to Norway and buy yarn there, while wearing my great grandfather's sweater
15) learn how to spin with a Navajo spindle
16) Knit while sitting in Monet's garden
17) Actually complete a KAL
