Good morning! So it is week 1 for me of year 8. Last year I was very inconsistent. Not sure how I'll do this year. I have some crafting plans for the year, but the only ones I've posted are my 12 Cast-ons...I think this may be the year of the sweater, besides the 3 (and 2 baby ones) in my cast-on list...I also have yarn for at least 3 more....one being the Love Note, which I think I'll cast on soonish...I have the mohair, but not sure about the fingering....the mohair is a gorgeous wine color, but the fingering, I pulled from stash and they are four different colorways, so kind of a fade. I know the mohair will unite them all....what do you think?

I'm intrigued about the 12 days of cast-on! I can see this being a great way to start off your year's knitting intentions.
Oh my. My brain can't handle so many started projects but glad it works for you. My aged brain is too mushy. I'd never remember where the project is at much less where in the heck I am in the pattern. Does sound like a fun idea to start a bunch as a kick start to the year. I love reading how everyone manages their projects. Good luck this year 8.
What a great idea to start 12 projects in 12 days. Then you have great items all year to work on at your leisure.
I love all your new projects and the yarns for your new sweater are scrumptious!!! It's going to be beautiful. I love the idea of starting 12 new projects. Have fun!
Oh some lovely Projects and I think the fade will look lovely.
12 days of cast ons sounds interesting - not sure it is for me as I tend to only have two at the most things on the go. Otherwise I get anxious. Your cast-ons look amazing. I will enjoy following their progress.
Oh my goodness 12 cast on items in less fhan 2 weeks, I am feeling anxious already and they aren’t my projects 😂. I know you manage well with lots of WIPs so I’m sure you’ll be fine and sometimes casting on is the hardest bit for me because I procrastinate about doing swatches or not. I think you are right and that the mohair will unite the other colours for your Love note. Mohair I believe is a nightmare to think back or frog so perhaps swatch a bit if you are worried first.
I do love your pink fade and I think the wine mohair will definitely pull it all together. And the idea of the 12 cast ons is hilarious! My LYS did something like that last year with a "cast on all the things" game.
Knitting or crocheting is the best. I wish you luck with all your porjects that will get finished when it's time. :-) All the best! Regula
Love Note: go for it, I think it will look lovely with those colours. As for the 12 days of cast ons - can't wait to see how you get on with all those different projects, and which one gets finished first.
I think I do the equivalent of 12 cast-ons anyway without actually intending to! Can't wait to see all your finished projects!
Have a lovely weekend,
Jillxo
