Knit me, knit me!

Every project  or knit along out there seems to be calling me. There's a knit along for knitting a sweater in November (sorry, I can't recall the name or where I found it) and I've been tempted to join. My new office is extremely cold and I've been contemplating knitting a pair of fingerless mitts. Socks always seem to call my name.  Countless other projects, as seen on various blogs, chime in here and there with the call to knit.

Knit me! Knit meeeeeeeeee!

So far I've resisted the pleas to knit because I really want to get all my projects off the needles by the end of the year. I haven't managed to find the time to round them all up, but there are many. So many that it's difficult to locate an empty set of needles when the aforementioned projects call my name. The lack of empty needles has restrained me more than once.

That brings me to my latest idea: Would anyone be interested in joining me in a knit along geared towards finishing up those WIPs before the end of the year? I'm thinking we could call it "Clean Slate by 2008" and I could design a button and award a few prizes. Maybe one for the person who completes the most WIPs between now and the end of the year and a couple randomly drawn prizes to even it all out.

Anyone interested? Want to knit WIPs for a Clean Slate in 2008 with me? If so, drop me a note in the comments.

Count me in - and I love the name.

Count me in too!!!!

Does frogging stuff you've had lying around forever count? I have so many things I need to rip and rethink.
Either way I'd be up for it. I have a couple of things stewing to take care of =)

[Erin]

Froggin counts to me. There's a reason they ain't gettin' worked on now isn't there!

[Denise]

hmm to do that I would have to GET some projects on the needles first!!

[Mozemen]

I'm in!

[Gina]

I should probably step up like a big girl and make the commitment. Would ripping be permitted if it was honestly decided that a particular garment/whatever just isn't going to work out properly?

Hmmm. Sounds like a plan, but have you SEEN how many things I have on the needles??? No way I would ever make that deadline. lol Especially with the bad startitis lately. And by the way you are a horrible influence. I had to go out and get the pattern and yarn for the Bernat snowflake sweater you showed recently. And it is calling my name....I may just end up casting on as many projects as you finish by the end of the year. lol
