What is everyone's plans to make in 2012?
On my list is a tea cosy for my Uncle and his girlfriend (who amusingly are called Richard and Judy), a white kitten for me, a pair of purple beaded gloves for me, a lace top for me, a hat for my step-sister and of course a man-thong for my best man friend who promises to model it for us!

I'm also knitting Little Sister a hooded scarf.
And I still owe CCH a pair of socks...
AND I stupidly promised people hats...
Hat's are pretty quick to make. If you use a thick yarn you'll be done in no time.
How are the socks going?
I am going to rip them out and start again with new yarn.
(I say new, I mean old yarn that I've had lying around for about four years and is sort of the same colour (Boring Brown))
Obv also clothes for Superbaby and stuff to sell!
I made these booties for my nephew: http://www.fabulousyarn.com/PATTERNS/babybootypattern.htm it's a free pattern and really quick and easy.
I deffo think you need to allow for these things. My daughter was born in July (in a heatwave) and I got loads of newborn-sized cardigans and hats that people had knitted that she just never wore cause it was 28+ degrees. If they'd have made 3-6 month stuff, or if they were more suitable for the summer, I'd have loved using them.
If it's warm all year round, why not knit something in cotton or bamboo? I crocheted a little light cotton blanket (about 2ft square) that I used constantly. Or you could make a sun hat? Or a stuffed animal?
You all have brilliant ideas though!
Socks, so far.
They're a lot bigger than they look (as in, stretchiness wise, not length). They will actually fit someone. Especially since the guy who has agreed to take my My First Socks Experiment as a birthday gift is hella skinny.
You any good at drawing winding stairways?
Works in progress are the lace top, the white kitten and a pair of Malabrigo socks.
I messed up on the toe (I realised when I got to the end of the decreases, that I was supposed to do one row including decreases, then one row k all, but never mind), and a bit just after the heel, but I'm proud of them
Attachment not found.
It's meant to be an owl, going to have another try to make it look more owl-like!
1 - Create a moroccan chill out area in my back garden.........which based on research prices will be best done with me building the sofas myself rather than attempting to buy them.
2 - Make my own fetish wear dress. Have found some good websites and youtube tutorials to help get me started, and found a latex supplier at reasonable cost.
3 - Focus on getting my blog more article based and less "PMS rant" based.
Hoping I can get the other one done soon so I can wear them
