So.
I haven't been keeping up with LJ, because I've been knitting a lot.
My shawl turned out gorgeous: http://www.flickr.com/photos/29482514@N07/3086756739/
I learned:
-about ravelry.com (I'll never want for patterns again!)
-bar increases (knit 1 front and back)
-cable-knitting
-feather and fan lace technique
-dyeing wool with tea
and most importantly, I stopped being deathly afraid of patterns, and now I can READ them!!
Still on my to-learn list:
-socks!
-mittens!
-OMG sweaters! (probably next year)
Debating whether to get the interchangeable circular needle set from Knitpicks. And whether to get the wood or the nickel-plated variety. I love that you can get cable lengths up to 60 inches. I could knit an enormous blanket, shawl or sweater with a cable that long!
