Plans (surprised?) for 2015

Well I was just sitting around, planning out the work I need to do before I leave in ~1 week, and around that planning the knitting I need to do before seeing my relatives in ~1 week (there's far too much of both) and decided I wanted to plan some goals for next year as well.

my plans always get blown out of the water because Other Things to Knit always crop up, and those are always in the form of Stuff for Others. So I am going to try to limit myself to 6 Things for Others in 2015. Yes, including holiday knitting. woosh, this is gonna be tough.

1) Gene Tierney the Divine in that special yarn (laceweight, too. oosh!)
2) fingerless mitts with fingery stubs OR a poncho/capelet thing for mom, with her input on colors
3) socks for twin that I have not already cast on this year
4) socks for twin that I have not already cast on this year
5) somebody is gonna make a baby. I will make that baby a hat AND I want to make it booties. for the first time ever. they look... fun.
6) undetermined/free

this... yes, this should include shop samples. so #6 might be a shop sample, or a commission scarf, or something for the holidays.

Other than that, I want to knit up some of my (ridiculously huge) sock yarn collection into shawls. I've been waiting a while to make these shawls, and it's time to do so

1) purple malabrigo --> wine in summer replacement shawl or sugared violets
2) other mal sock + black sparkly dreamincolor --> nymphiladea
3) morgana --> trillian or brickless or other sideways shawl

Other than that, I want socks. I should continue to draw sock yarn at random from the sock club. I think I've only done one pair of socks for myself this year and I haven't even finished them yet. Of course I finished a bunch of shawls, so that's probably it :D

3 shawls for me. 3 pairs of socks for me. 6 things for other people. that's plenty. oh, but there's also the stuff I have on my needles:

2x pairs of socks for twin
shawl for me
2x sweaters for me
blanket for me
poncho for me
weird mitten things for me.

that I guess will continue to get worked on.

oh I should make myself some cowls too.

1) red cowl
2) fish bowl cowl
3) van gogh cowl
