phew, for a second I thought your resolution was going to be no more yarn or something like that.

i hear ya about your own patterns. Im so tired of following patterns and then not getting what I expected.
I love your patterns, start making some more. You have time, its not like you are eating or anything :P

I love that resolution. I too, have yearned to embark on the world of designing. Of course I've never done it. And I'm probably too much of a wimp to ever do it, BUT...I do look forward to living through you.

Love the blog!

I was going to wish you an easy fast, but it sounds like it's gone to your head already! I'm hopped up on cold medicine right now, maybe we're on the same light-headed plane?

Designing your own pattern sounds ambitious, but knowing you it will turn out beautifully. Whereas if I tried to design something, it would come out looking like a six armed sweater for a hunchback. Maybe a little more experience before I try design...

Rock the fuck on, baby! THAT'S what I'm talkin' 'bout! Especially the 77744 times more unique part. You just made my day. Take that yarn, work the shit out of it, be happy about it, love that shit and roll around in it!!!!! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!

you may want to get "knitting from the top" (barbara walker) from your library. it is incredibly helpful in designing your own pieces and she is all about fittings, so you know it'll be what you want it to be when it's done. and since you work from the top-down, then sleeves, then torso, it can morph into whatever you want it to be. i love it and have made 2 topdowns this week for my babes. wishing you luck with the designing and looking forward to seeing pics!
