Have you seen knitter's code? I was intimidated. But this meme, I'm willing to tackle. I was trying to find the source in a nicely connected warren of blogs (really -- and I love that there's a Pollyanna who knits, as that's my sister's name!) but stopped at cosymakes, since she was nice enough to join my new flickr group, Spindle Shots -- great shots by everyone so far! join the fun, spindle maniacs!
To join the "what have you knit" meme, take this list, mark with bold the things you have ever knit, with italics the ones you plan to do sometime, and leave the rest plain.Now me, I'll try anything ... so really, "plain" just means I don't have it on my radar yet!
