I’m getting ready for my 2026 knitting to do list so went through the 2 knitting bins of projects (#3 on the original to do list)
- Fingerless Mitts #2- started 11/11/2025
- 2 kitted sock projects in whatever order I feel like knitting them in
- #1- St Mungo’s – finished 11/24/2025
- #2-Ricky’s ugly socks
- #3-Astrantia socks
- I went through the bins of yarn projects (#3 of this list) and there was another sock #4- Sock it to me
- go through the 2 bins of yarn projects. From memory, the yarn is set aside but some may have a pattern name with it, but most probably do not. I doubt any of them have actual patterns with the project unless I bought the project kit as it was. —- done! 11/22/2025
- LONG TERM: go through my stash. give away what I no longer want to knit and re-stash what I want to keep
- Sweaters- I know I have more yarn in stash dedicated to sweaters but I haven’t gone through those bins yet… on the 2 bins I went through, I set aside two sweater projects
- #1 – Soldotna
- #2 – Stunning String Studio – purples (need to pick a pattern)
- Hats / Mittens
- #1 – Pom pom hat kit (I think a pattern is included)
- #2 – Jamieson’s color work (hat pattern picked but I still have to buy the pattern)
- #3 – Mitts in a bag – Yggdrasil Miits by Skeindeer Knits (pattern is already in the bag with the yarn)
- #4 – blue and white colorwork mitts? (no pattern and yarn is already wound up)
- #5 – Yarn Cafe Creations (DK) – no pattern selected. just set aside with a note that says ‘hat’
- #6 – Blue Manos and mohair. no pattern. intended to be knit together to create a halo (probably purchased around 12/2019 when our LYS was closing.)
- #7 – Red Malabrigo – no pattern already wound up
- #8 – woolly yarn (can’t remeber what it’s called and there’s no label except “lost city knits” purchased at 2019 Socal Stitches. note says it’s for mitts and I intended to use a Skeindeer pattern but I’m inclined to make a hat as I don’t use mitts a lot.
- Shawls / Cowls
- #1 – tranquility (red)
- #2 – Outlander shawl
- #3 – Advent yarn calendar from mindy (needs pattern)
- #4 – blue (original tranquility but then frogged it because I didn’t like how it was coming together so I need a better for this)
- Dailies- these are larger projects that I was doing one a day until J got tired…
- #1 – advent calendar throw
- #2 – coziest memory blanket
- #3 – corner to corner throw (crochet)
- #4 – coziest memory (minis)
I can’t believe how many projects were stored in those bins and I’m not sure where to hide these back into. I pulled out the Soldotna and pom pom kit as those as the two I’ll have as my rotation. When my current fingerless mitts are finished, I think I’ll pull out one of the socks kitted up.
Knit on friends,
Melanie
