Now that the holidays have past and we’ve entered the days of bleak midwinter, I have been knitting a lot. (not that I ever am not knitting alot, really!) But there’s something about these arctic cold days that make me want to do nothing other than drink coffee and knit, while snuggled on my couch and under a plush blanket. I’ve decided that 2010 will be the Year of Knitting Selfishly. It’s pathetic how few items I’ve made for myself. I knit for the boys, for the Hubster, for gifties, and (always) for the shop.  And it’s not that I’ll stop doing those knitting projects  (onthe contrary, I am all aflutter with knitting for the Spring Collection!) but I am being more conscious about taking time to work on projects for myself.  So, this week’s Ten on Tuesday list is of those projects I plan to knit selfishly.  Anyone want to join me?

1. February Lady Sweater – this is actually a re-knit, as the one I did last year is way too big on me now (yay for losing 15 pounds! Boo for too-stretchy knits)
2. Strawberry Lace Cardi – I’m a sucker for anything Veronik designs. Planning to use some Malabrigo for this.
3. Shifting Sands – To be done in a Merisoft Shimmer from Punta Yarns.  Love that stuff!
4. Juliet – not sure on yarn for this yet.
5. Dahliah – having to restrain myself from casting this onbefore I finish #6.
6. Touch of Grey – started already, check out my progress on my project page!
7. Prairie Boots – quick, cute slippers.  Enough said.
8. Squirrel Mittens – just enough whimsy to suit me.
9. as yet-undesigned tank top (I’ve got the picture in my head, just need to get it onto paper!)
10. Fill in the blank (I’m leaving this last one up to you, dear readers!  Leave me a comment with the project you think I should do)
