Kris once called me a knitting pusher, but what do you call the person who pushes the pusher?  Not only has she influenced me to amass a lot of yarn, needles, notions, patterns, and projects but now my bloglines subscription has just about doubled because I went perusing her subscriptions.

But her powers can also be used for good.  She's been doing a goal-setting thing for a while now and gosh darn if that doesn't sound like a good idea.  So, since it's about the start of December (well, close enough and I'm bored) let's start off.

December Goals:

1. Finish the hoody on Hudson and order a zipper
2. One more wine cozy for Christmas gift list
3. Begin Jaywalker socks (still debating joining the KAL)
4. Cast on for Hourglass Sweater (note to self: check corrections) (dare I join the KAL?)
5. Make progress on Branching Out Snowflake scarf

Yeah, so about that last one. Branching Out and I are not speaking to one another.  I don't know if it's the pattern or if it's reading off a chart but I'm through with it for now.  Which is too bad because it's a lovely pattern.  And everyone says it's so easy, which does nothing except make me feel stupid.

Instead I'm following a lacy "Snowflake" pattern out of my 99 Knit Stitches book.  Pics forthcoming as soon as I have enough repeats to show the pattern off.  So far I'm on row 20-something and we're having a lovely time (neener neener to you, Branching Out!)
