As you might have noticed, I'm taking part in a Year of Projects. It has been started by a group of people on Ravelry and the aim is to prepare a list of projects we want to complete by the end of June 2012.
On July 1st this year each of participants will post the list of projects on the blog and the fun begins!
The problem is, I can't make up my mind so as to the patterns. I'm sure I won't have as much time as I had this year, so I need to choose wisely. I'm thinking about 10 projects, but there are much more patterns on my list. So, here's the deal: you help me decide which 10 projects and you get a chance of winning this little guy and a surprise (please, write if you'd prefer the surprise to be sweet or crafty).
So, here are my types. Just tell me which ones are definitely worth trying - create a list if 10 patterns and share it in the comments to this post. There's no need to give links, just tell me the names of the patterns.
The person whose suggestions I'd like most is going to be the winner, so be sure to leave your e-mail address!
If I decide for something completely different or there will be two identical lists, I'll use ramdomizer to draw the winner.
You can vote till Wednesday, June 29th!

One more comment - most of the patterns I'm going to use are free. Some of them can be accessed only after registering on the site, like Lion Brand, Ravelry, etc. and these are sites I highly recommend having an account on. Give them a try!

For your home
6. Puritan Tablecloth (my fave of the choices)

Hah, I have picked almost identical to Linda above!
Didn't get a chance to load up the archived patterns for tablecloth options, so can't tell you which of those I prefer, and given the choice between one of the three granny square baby blankets or the lord is my shepherd one, I'd probably go with one of the granny squares, but they all look pretty similar to me.
Here are my choices:
ReplyDelete1. Foliage Lace Mitts
2. Origami Turkish Socks
3. Vellamo socks
4. Olympian Socks
5. Kable (hooks&needles case) (this one is in my queue now…)

7. Fresh picked baby hat
8. Bear hat and mitts
9. Lord's my Shepherd baby afghan
