The Beginning of a Great New Project

Good morning everyone out there,

I figured that I would start with the basics. My name is Kaytee and I am 29 (almost 30!!!) years old. I have the most wonderful fiance who lovingly supports all of my antics. When we watched Julie & Julia a couple of weeks ago, I was suddenly inspired. Like, hit with lightning inspired.

I decided to do my own Julie & Julia project...just not with cooking.

Don't get me wrong, I love to cook. I love to eat good food but I don't think that I would want to try and work my way through a Julia Child cookbook because a.) I don't have the money and b.) I can't afford to gain more weight (haha).

My project that I wanted to do was 52 crochet projects in 52 weeks but I realized that I would not be able to complete that many projects. One blanket can take me at least one month! Well, I knew that I wanted to do crocheting because I am good at it and who knows? Maybe I will get extremely good at it.

My project for 2015/2016 is 26 Crochet Projects in 52 Weeks. That isn't to say that as soon as I reach 26 completed projects I am going to stop but rather I want to push myself to do at least 26 projects. If I do more, awesome! If not, then cue the Grumpy Kaytee to begin her march.

I am taking suggestions for projects but so far on my list I have:

-Speedy Granny Throw
-A modified Everybody Scarf
-Women's Peaked Hat

I know that it isn't many projects but merely a few but I have 52 weeks to find all 26 projects.

I will be checking in when I find a new project or when I finish one. I will always include pictures of my work so you can see my progress through all of my projects. I have already started the Speedy Granny Throw and the Everybody Scarf (which I am making into a lapghan) but I haven't gotten far with either of them yet.

Well, I think that this has been a productive first post. I introduced myself (Kaytee, if you forgot already) and I let you know what my project for this year is (26 projects in 52 weeks...sheesh, you really don't remember things, do you?).

Remember, no matter where you are, I yarn for you.
