  1. That’s an excellent list. I’d like to do a lot of those things–although I am not quite ready to play nice with sharks (#26). I have done 5 of the things you mention. I am confident that I will never do a cartwheel, however.

    Great list and good luck with it.

    I really admire your knitting.

  2. This is great! I learned how to spin as a child, but never did learn anything but the most basic crochet stitched. Spinning is hypnotic, and soothing, and like a bicycle, you never lose it. The skill, that is. I look forward to the day Mom decides to give it up and let me have her wheel.

  3. Love your List – I am a list person myself and a knitter and I just love your blog. I’m new to the blogging world but am really liking it. Seeing what others are doing is great inspiration for me – so thanks!

  4. Love your list. It is hopeful and brave and has such variety.
    Your dog is wonderful. What a face.
    Inspired by your knitting the white sweater for yourself. I have yet to make one for moi.
