Hat Challenge: Take 2, Now With Added List!

So, back when I first proposed my Hat Challenge way back in August, I made one big mistake: I didn't actually write down all the hats I was going to make.  I'm a person who thrives on lists.  There's this delicious satisfaction in crossing things off of lists.  They're great for future reference.  Sometimes it's hard to hold onto 6 separate ideas in your head, but it's easy on paper.  Hooray lists!

So it seems like a silly mistake to not have written a list of the hats I'm going to be making.

So for Hat Challenge! 2012, I am committing to knitting 6 hats.  Here they are, in no particular order:

1.  Little Things by Veera Välimäki, using one skein of Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light in colorway Tern (420 yards) Finished 1/15/12, actually used 210 yards.

2.  Salt Creek prototype 2 by me, using one skein of Anzula Cricket MCN in colorway Boysenberry (250 yards) ETA: Finished 1/23/12, used about 220 yards of 250.

All told, that's 1,503 yards

also known as

.8540 miles.

That should keep me busy for a while!

I admire your ambition. For me I have a room full of baskets filled with yarn that I want to make into things... but thats about as far as it gets. Maybe this list thing is what I should do.
