Of course when it comes to knitting there&#8217;s no real &#8220;cookbook&#8221; that&#8217;s out there like that. Well, none that would be practical for something like that anyways. So I thought of doing two things &#8211; 365 stitch patterns in 365 days or 52 projects in 52 weeks. There is the chance I might get really ambitious and do both, but for now I thought it might be fun to do 52 in 52. So the ground rules would be simple:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align:justify;\"> There must be 52 distinct projects that require at least one 50g ball of yarn and\/or at least 50m of fiber. In other words, no tension squares or little bitty dish cloths. Now to make it feasible and interesting, I will allow myself to include UFOs that I finish during this time as long as they are ones that require at least one ball of yarn to finish.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align:justify;\">No more than 25% of my projects can be scarves, hats, mittens, or other accessories of the like.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align:justify;\">No more than 25% of the projects can be socks.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align:justify;\">I can not repeat a particular project in a different yarn or color (except sock which seem to be identical anyway). I can however change a scarf to a sweater as this is how I usually design sweaters, by first doing the &#8220;swatch&#8221; as a scarf.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align:justify;\">I have to give away at least 50% of the projects &#8211; this ensures they will be well made and completed!<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align:justify;\">I will have to post a picture and brief bio of each project on this blog as they are completed.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align:justify;\">Each completed project will only count as one project, no matter how large.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align:justify;\">I must complete at least 4 projects each calendar month, not necessarily one each week, although at the end of the 52 weeks I will need to have finished 52 projects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, I plan on making a few scarves, sweaters, and socks. Seeing as I have to give away at least half of them, anybody want anything?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">Hugzzz \ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently saw the movie Julie and Julia and thought, what a great idea.
