This month we'll be working on Blackrose from the Winter 2008 issue of Knitty. As an added bonus, it even comes with a pattern for matching wrist warmers.
Ready? Set? Go!
What yarn will you be using? I'm stuck between Socks that Rock's Thraven, Lenore, and Valkyrie colorways.
I think having a deadline is important. If I don't have a deadline, I just keep casting on new stuff and creating more half-finished projects. One a month may be too ambitious, though. Perhaps one every other month?
I am the same, see: 4 pairs of partially done socks. I do run out of needles eventually, though, but I was just thinking about it and realized I've got at least one unused sock pair. Plus hopefully a second if they show up in the mail.
Yeah.
Every other month sounds good for me. Or maybe we could have like amnesty periods.
I -- totally, of course, not having a problem with exponential partially-done projects *hides bin under desk* -- would agree with the every other month thing.
Oh, those do look nice! I'm thinking of taking up spinning (being a professional impoverished student I cannot afford the posh yarn I love - hard graft I can do, though!) and this might be a project to spin for once I've got the hang of it.
Just joined the group. Coincidentally, Blackrose is at the top of my queue on Ravelry! I have a lovely grey/black marled yarn from Wildfoote that will be very nice, I think. Two-at-a-time FTW!
Oh yay! I've always wanted to do a knit-a-long! I'll skip this pattern, mostly because I have a new year's resolution to finish some of my longstanding WIPs on needles, but I'll be in with you in March!
Current wip projects that will be finished: a sweater that's barely started, and the second Lindsay sock from Cookie A.

Are we aiming to knit up stuff in a month, and pick something new next time? Or longer than that?

Alternatively, the comm could go every month and slowpokes like me could join in whenever we're able. I'm not fussed.
