Knitting Bucket List

I got to thinking the other day. "What would be on my bucket list?" Then, I got to thinking "More importantly, what would be on my knitting bucket list??"

I one of the top items on my bucket list would be my knitting bucket list. But that is cheating I reckon. :)

My ravelry.com queue could be considered a knitting bucket list of sorts. However I think I need to pair it down and think about it some more. I treat my queue as a place holder for stuff I like at the moment. At the moment there are a lot lace shawls and kiddie clothing pieces. However I don't know how many of these I will go out of my way to complete before I kick the bucket. I grant you, there are a couple of items on that queue that I consider "graduation" pieces. Pieces that I want to complete before I feel that I have gotten significantly better as a knitter.

The following are current contenders for my knitting bucket list:

• Haruni by Emily Ross - stunning full size shawl with beautiful detail. Love it.
• In Bloom by Kimberli Mackay - I am intimidated by felting. This would be the project to prove to myself that I am over my intimidation AND I would have a gorgeous bag to boot.
• Peacock Feathers Shawl by Dorothy Siemens - This is huge, awsome, stunning and truly scary. I want to make one.
• OpArt by Melissa Dominguez - this make my inner geek happy. I just have to find the right parents/baby who love it too.

stay tuned for more additions...
