Epic Knitting

In addition to this being the year of Knit From My Stash, it's also going to be a year of Epic Knitting.

I plan on starting two projects that will probably take all year (or more) to finish.

Epic Projects.

The first is the Knit Picks Fair Isle Cardigan...


Some friends and I are going to embark on this project together. I know it's not a very complex fair isle design but in the past I've always managed to get about 3 inches done on the various Jamieson and Starmore fair isles I've started and then just kind of fizzled out. Bored with the little needles. Not interested to pay so much attention to my knitting (WHY does lace not bore me then???) So for me, this is an Epic Project.

Second is this:


Yup. It's a full length dressing gown. From Romantic Style. It's why I bought those 20 balls of Kid Classic recently. God knows if I'll ever actually wear it, but I WANT it.

Epic Knitting Rules

1) The only new projects I can start for the first 3 months of 2007 are my designated Epic Projects.

2) I need to finish 3 Works in Progress before I start another new project.

3) When I can start a new project, it must be Epic in Nature.

3b) Epic is defined as a project I believe would take me more time than I usually have the patience for. (I know I've knit lots of lace shawls in the past, (which many consider Epic) but lately I've been suffering from some form of Knitter's ADD and have not completed one in over a year!)

4) Socks don't count because one must ALWAYS have socks on the needles.
