A Year of Projects

Beautiful graphic by Sarah from Crafts from the Cwtch

A Year of Projects was started by the wonderful Keri over at When Did I Become a Knitter. As the name suggests, all those involved pick a certain amount of patterns either from a book, magazine or Ravelry queue that they believe they'll be able to knit in a year, and blog about the highs and lows of knitting a certain number of projects in a fixed amount of time. If you'd like to find out more, head on over to the group on Ravelry called Come Blog-a-Long, we'd love to have you join us!

It was a real struggle to choose my Year of Projects, as there are so many aspects to take into account. Time, Money, Skill, whether I'm up to learning a new craft (like crochet!) etc. It took me a while to decide whether to use a book or make my own list, but after encouragement from the lovely Tink, I decided to work my way through the book Mug Hugs by Alison Howard.

There are 30 gorgeous projects in the book, which means I need to do 2 and a half Mug Hugs every month. Here is the complete list (in no particular order)! (click each one to see what they look like)

1. Simple Snug
2. On the Edge
3. Stripes
4. Bits and Bobs
5. Moss
6. Fits any Size
7. Tiny Tags
8. Frothy Coffee
9. Waffle Weave
10. Sideways Cable
11. Herringbone Cable
12. Eyelets and Ribbon
13. Tutu Frilling
14. Ears of Corn
15. Butterflies
16. First Base
17. Random Rib
18. Mistake Rib
19. Daisy Stitch
20. Cream and Coffee
21. Bluebells
22. Tulips
23. Rainbow

25. Getting Personal
26. With Love
27. Llama
28. Regular or Grande
29. Felted (never felted before, so that shall be interesting!)

As I'm not going to need 30 Mug Hugs (although I'm sure my family will protest), every month or so I will have a give-away!

Check back next Sunday for my first YOP post, have a great weekend everyone!
