I know right now that I’m not going to get everything done in 2020 that I want to make, but I want to collect it all here so that I can keep track of it somewhere. In 2020, I want to sew/knit down my stash, because I acquired a lot of stuff in 2019. There are definitely things I’m going to buy — I want to make a Clare Coat and my parents bought me some lovely wool melton for Christmas, but I still need to buy the lining — but I want the majority of my projects to use materials I already have.

Sewing

Clare Coat
- Like I said, I have some wool melton from my parents (although they only had 2 yards in stock when they ordered), and I just need to pick a lining, order more wool (and cross my fingers), and get started.
Wiksten Shift tops:
- I have fabric that Arounna from Bookhou designed
- My parents got me this lovely linen/wool doublegauze that I want to try piecing a top out of, to get the most of the double-sided-ness
- I have some octopus print fabric that will likely turn into this top too
Wiksten Shift Dress
- I have fabric with metallic gold skulls on it that will, eventually, become a dress. I also have leftover mustard twill that may also turn into a Wiksten dress
Kelly Anorak
- Yes, this has been in my queue for at least a year, maybe two. I think I’ve finally decided that I want to line this, so I’m going to get the lining expansion and some lining, and then I’ll actually make it.
Wool Estuary Skirt
- I have some mystery wool from my grandmother that I think should be enough to make this. This should be higher on my list because I’d like to make it while I can still wear it this winter, so that means soon.
Rainbow Estuary Skirt
- I bought some delightful rainbow linen over the summer but haven’t made anything yet, and how fortuitous for me that I got distracted, because it will make the most amazing Estuary skirt.
Several varieties of Sew Liberated’s new Lichen Duster
- Obviously I need this in a super-luxurious silk or velvet to lounge around the house in, and I’d love to make this out of a twill or similar to wear out and about.

Knitting

Dusk Light (in progress) using Valkyrie Fibers yarn in the most luminous purple
I’d like to finish my Seven Wonders sweater
Kia Socks using Farmer’s Daughter Fibers January Sock Squad yarn
- On the socks note, I signed up for FDF’s Sock Squad, and I have a (very tentative) goal of making one pair of socks per month? On the one hand, it may be easy because I can knit on the bus. On the other hand, I may get nothing else made and might re-prioritize in a couple months.
Ursa Sweater using Earl Grey Fiber Co’s English Breakfast Bulky in Moth Wings
Sizzle Pop using two of my own indigo-dyed skeins of yarn
Brontë Sister Shawl using three of Junkyarn’s Little Women colors
Indira using (hopefully) some Ocean by the Sea yarn that I ordered
A scarf I’m going to design that marls neon and greyscale speckled yarn from Black Cat Fibers
Cozy Classic Raglan using yarn I haven’t decided on yet
Lizzie or Brioche Tiles (I still can’t decide!) using a TréLiz kit that I couldn’t resist
Shifty using House of A La Mode in neon colors
Ember using a variety of yarn I keep changing my mind about

Weaving

Oh, I weave? Have I had the same project on my rigid heddle loom for approximately 1.5 years? Yes, and yes. I’d like to finish that project, because I have at least two plans for more woven scarves, perhaps even using something other than plain weave — but we’ll see about that part. I have two skeins of silk/merino from Sweet Georgia that I got at Knit City, and two skeins of yak/bamboo from Bijou Basin Ranch that I got at last year’s Taos Wool and Fiber Festival.

What Else Could I Possibly Have Ideas About?

I’m so glad you asked. I have a few damaged Ace & Jig pieces that I’d like to piece into a variety of things — pants into a top, a dress into a half-square-triangle block, lots of scraps that I can make scrappy things out of. I also have some indigo scraps that I’d like to piece together to make something. I still have my hand-dyed quilt top that I dyed a backing for but have not yet quilted together, because I want to hand quilt it and that still feels intimidating. I want to keep cross-stitching. I want to keep dyeing yarn and fabric. And we all know I’ll probably find another new hobby in 2020 that I won’t be able to resist.
