So the plan for today is the v-necked top, with 3/4 sleeves. With the exception of bra making, I have NEVER worked with knits before. I'm not looking forward to it, but will see how it goes. I'll class the first attempt as a working toile. I'm using a lightweight cotton jersey in dark lilac marl. Wish me luck!
I have also discovered SWAP this morning here http://artisanssquare.com/sg/index.php/board,42.0.html and would love to join in Option 2, but don't want to commit myself to something I know I won't be able to complete. I have my own "plan" for 2011 so will combine it with option 2 from January - April. I don't know about you, but I do need to plan, otherwise my personal sewing is random and nothing co-ordinates. I also took a look at Tim Gunn's 10 Essential to help me focus on what I'm doing.
Today I am mainly listening to Barbara Streisend "The Ultimate Collection" whilst sewing.

Eleven pieces is a lot to sew in a reasonably short period of time for most people. My hat is off to the gals who manage to do it.
A plan for sewing is a good thing - even if you stray from it. (Who can predict flights of fancy?)
Knits, once you get a "feel" for them are really quite easy and a quick way to add to the wardrobe.
