If I'm going to expand my knitting/crocheting skills, I will need to buy thinner implements and thinner yarns.
My bin is overflowing with chunky bulky yarns, and my needles are all size 10 and up. These supplies are good for hats and scarves; that's about it.

Future projects I want to complete:
2 at a time socks and legwarmers
sweaters
fancy lacework shawls
blankets
cable-knit stuff
colorwork stuff (eventually)

Knitpicks has a nice set of feather-and-fan lacework patterns for free download, and I think I want to try making the Andean Treasure Shawl. I've been practicing the lace pattern, so I'm fairly confident about it.

One project at a time, I think that's my new rule. Gotta plan these things carefully.

i'd think a nice chunky yarn/gauge would make a fantastic blanket or shawl....

i agree, but i forgot to mention that i have 2 balls of each yarn type at most in my collection, which isn't enough for a shawl or blanket, unfortunately. :/
