I was thinking the other day about how I started a bad trend in 2016 (or was it 2015?). I would buy patterns and think about making them…and it would end there. I managed to figure out how to do a Ravelry search of all of the digital knitting patterns I own but have yet to make. (Go here to do the same search for yourself.)

Results: 153

Yeah, 153 patterns I bought and have not made. And that’s ignoring all of the patterns I have in books and magazines.

I gave the list a good scrub, removing all of the projects I’d honestly never make. Then I added them allll to my queue.

Now I’ve got a much more reasonable number facing me: 70.

So, my big plan: I’m not going to buy a single pattern until I get through all of those 70 items (well, except the 13 ones which were free patterns).
