the fiber fetishist

I am a list maker, not unlike href="http://www.pokingmyeyesout.com/po32/2005/12/project_list_for_the_year.html#more">Eda
of pokingmyeyesout and href="http://www.crazyauntpurl.com/archives/2005/12/lists_are_the_e.php">laurie
of Crazy Aunt Purl. I love lists. I tend to write lists of lists of
lists.

I do have some ” project goals” for 2006. These are subject to my
every whim, so I don’t think I will have pretty green checkmarks down
this list when I review it in a year. But I’ll try!

Projects:

• href="http://www.girlfromauntie.com/patterns/shop/rogue/detail.php">Rogue
  in Peace Fleece. I’m 30% done with this one.

• A plain raglan in Rowanspun DK in Mist (very light grey)
• More socks!
• href="http://www.theknittinggarden.com/patterns/romag35/audrey.htm">Audrey

That is not everything, of course.

Also, as of right now I am not buying any more yarn online or in stores
until MD Sheep + Wool (unless I’m on vacation, and in that case I am
going to set and stick with a strict budget). I have a lot of stash to
work through, plenty of yarn for sweaters, plenty of patterns, plenty of
sock yarn. I also have lots of fiber to spin up that will become
yarn! There is not a fiber shortage in the world, there is not a fiber
shortage in my house, and I do not need to add more to it. I need to work
with what I have first.

I mean it this time! Happy 2006!
