I made an Aestlight Shawl out of one skein, which was all sorts of rainbow colors, and the lace never got lost. I think that yarn would look lovely as a Maia. As for doing something bigger, well... you might check other project pages and see if people have successfully made it bigger. It would be great as a larger shawl!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8537943107691885690.post-76730562287835480812011-07-04T17:11:58.848-07:002011-07-04T17:11:58.848-07:00holy moley! that's a list and a half ;) glad t...holy moley! that's a list and a half ;) glad to see granny stripes is on there.

LOL, don't you just love it?<br /><br />CrochetBlogger, I think it's more that I tried to pick patterns to use some of the yarn that I've been hoarding and haven't gotten around to do anything with. Most of the projects I picked because of the yarn. Though, I'd like to work more Candy Skein yarn into the list, but we'll see. Maybe for one of the shawls or sweaters!Tami Klockauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07652939575098493098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8537943107691885690.post-83097437842704359622011-07-03T10:27:02.053-07:002011-07-03T10:27:02.053-07:00Rachael, thanks!

I also wanted a wide selection as I can pick what I'm in the mood for. Yeah, I'm sure the Milk Run shawl won't be cheap.

I'm in serious love with that pattern.<br /><br />Tink, I love how basic the Milk Run shawl is and isn't as feminine/delicate as some. It's simple, but looks a little rugged too, despite the ruffles. LOL<br /><br />Ruth, awesome! It looks like such a fun pattern. It may be a little too hard for me now, but I can't wait to get started. I LOVE the Cascade Eco Duo. Some of the softest/squishiest yarn I've felt.<br /><br />Alea, thanks! You crack me up. LOL<br /><br />elephantJuice, see, that's my problem. My day time job was a producer, so I live for organization and lists. LOL<br /><br />Calophi, good point. I thought the great thing about this year project, is the rules are loose so you can add and subtract if you'd like. I think this list will help me be more focused. Also, I LOVE ticking items off a list. LOL<br /><br />Nikki, HA! Sorry about that! You should have seen the list when I first started. This is the smaller version. Oy I hope to start the skirt soon! We'll see. I've had my sights on the Abalone since Stacey made it for WIPW/FO Friday.Tami Klockauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07652939575098493098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8537943107691885690.post-24312494258787554632011-07-03T10:13:40.469-07:002011-07-03T10:13:40.469-07:00WOW Tami you are going to be ONE busy bee!

Managed to read about 1/2 way thru and have to say I realy love the kate middleton shawl...its simple yet elegant.

You're killing me!<br />In theory, I use my favourites on Rav for patterns I'd like to make "someday" and my queue for ones I have yarn for and are supposed to be "next". The problem is that things keep jumping from my favourites to the front of the queue!<br />I LOVE that skirt and Abalone. I think the Norway hat would make a great colour work project (I thing colourwork is much easier in the round).nursenikkiknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13799928060698707438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8537943107691885690.post-88713126654450281012011-07-03T08:21:50.253-07:002011-07-03T08:21:50.253-07:00If you think about it, I've basically been doi...If you think about it, I've basically been doing this all year already. I have a "Projects" page on my blog where I list all the stuff I have to do, and it was important this year because by March next year I have to have done 5 shawls and a veil for my wedding. The veil and 2 shawls are done, one shawl is almost done, one is started. Phew!<br /><br />And then there are the gifts, and all the WIPs I have listed, and some maybe stuff, and then I'll decide I'm tired of doing something practical and make like, a monokini... I guess for me I don't want to pick the set # of projects because I always do spur of the moment in between.Calophihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02323684949228610603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8537943107691885690.post-12361271779306582022011-07-03T08:17:51.101-07:002011-07-03T08:17:51.101-07:00This sounds great.
