I'm going to draw a picture of our dog who died 9 months ago for my mum's birthday using my shiny new toy.
I'm also knitting Little Sister a hooded scarf.
And I still owe CCH a pair of socks...
AND I stupidly promised people hats...

What are you making in 2012?
Elsewhere on TheSite.org 
Elsewhere on TheSite.org 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!Blessed are the cracked for they let in the light.

...there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.

Aw that's nice. Sorry to hear you lost your dog
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?Blessed are the cracked for they let in the light.

I promised my friend a knitted baby blanket for her first child. Thankfully she isn't pregnant yet but it is going to take me all of 2012 I think as I knit so very slowly! So that is my only project.

I am going to rip them out and start again with new yarn.

As usual, I will be making an arse of myself.
Did you ever go to a place - I think it was called Norway?
That was one of mine. Won an award, you know. Lovely crinkly edges...

I will continue my efforts at guitar making and hopefully make a new career for myself. Second one should be finished before summer hopefully.

I'm hoping to make 2 jumpers, a purple felt garison cap, a felt laptop cover and maybe some other stuff...

I'm planning to make a dress a month. I've been looking for dresses in the sales, but none of them are quite right, so I'm going to make my own. 12 in a year is enough to keep it interesting without being too ambitious.
Obv also clothes for Superbaby and stuff to sell!

That's what I did. I don't think my sister put them on the baby though, she did put the booties on him once but she said booties "made his feet look gay" but don't let my *insert adjective here* sister stop you though. I think they look really cute. Originally Posted by purpledhaze
