Knitting meme because I have no life

I know I'm starting to get really lame, posting all of these random memes. I don't ever have the time to write a really good post (or when I do, I'm not near the internets).

So, from the great Fyberduck, a knitting meme. Because I'm like that, I organized it loosely into sections.

Mark with bold the things you have ever done, with italics, the ones you plan to do sometime, asterisk (*) the ones that are WIPs, and leave the rest.

If only my family thought so highly of me ;D I'm impressed that you bothered to organize it, though! You're much better than the rest of us...

In truth, it drove me crazy reading through it and seeing it so disorganized. A little bit of OCD never hurt anyone ... :-D
