Maybe I should
I always admired people who would set knitting goals like 11 sweaters in 2011 or 12 shawls in 2012. I seriously considered the 12 shawls project but was afraid I would get really sick of making shawls and never want to see another one for as long as I live. I think I may have been wrong.

Without trying to, I have already managed a shawl a month.

I started Cladonia on New Year's Day on the way home from Michigan. I had spent months planning the perfect yarns combination and I was so excited to start. This shawl did not disappoint.at.all. You need to knit this.

Dory was a sample for a crochet class I taught this summer. Great, fast pattern! I just made a second one for Cynthia and I am thinking of doing a cold-weather version in a wool-silk blend.

The Southbay Shawlette has long been on my mind and when I thought of this yarn, it seemed like a good fit!

This one is kind of a cheat because I started it two years ago! You can read about it on my crochet blog, Crochet Your Way.

Pendulum. Fun knit! My colors bled and I am still in the process of seeing what can be done to fix it. It isn't terrible but it bugs me a bit.

So let's just say I am making 12 shawls in 2012!
My current project is Terpsichore Street.. I have a beautiful hank of hand-dyed merino cashmere fingering which I bought as a pick me up after going through some rough times lately. I knew I needed cashmere and hand-dyed yarn. Skein yarn was just the thing!
Have you accidentally committed to any projects lately? :)
