ME.

Now begins the year of ME.
ME ME ME ME ME ME ME MEE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
I’m not knitting for you. Or your sister. Or your brother, aunt, uncle, grandmother, grandfather, son, daughter, or one eyed one horned purple people eater.
I’m not even knitting for your cat.
ME.
And maybe those I want to knit for.
But that’s all, I swear!
I want to devote myself to learning new techniques, making things for the fair and just enjoying knitting in general again.
So, I joined two groups on ravelry.
The first is a Designers Challenge. Each month they give you what you have to make, what you are to be inspired by, and a technique to use. I’m not doing it this month because I’m still sore. But watch out in the future- I see this year holding lots new patterns for all you folks to knit and enjoy.
The other group is called “Mystery 220″. Each month has 2-3 mysteries that you can knit, using 220 yards of yarn or less. I love it, because I tend to only buy 1-2 skeins at a time.
The current ones I’m participating in for this month is a fingering weight (195 yards – 1 skein of sock yarn.), and a super bulky weight (which starts on Friday the 13th.
The best part is: You don’t even KNOW what you knitting, unlike those mystery sock or shawl KALs, where you know what the end result will be.
And the only pic I can give you is this one:
Because I’m not allowed to expose what the mystery might be. The Mystery police might arrest me and take my DPNs away.
NOT THE DPNS! NOOOOOO!
Aside from that, still working on the skittles socks. And that’s it.
So, is anyone else thinking about this years Knitting Olympics yet? What about you’re local county fair?
(Dontcha hate me for bringing it up now?)

Wish we had a county fair. I’ll have to check out those groups, the designers challenge groups sounds fun. As long as I can make everything in worsted weight, lmao
