Dream in Color Giveaway
The time has come again for a juicy new giveaway from Dream in Color yarns. And just in time! This holiday I see crafters working their little fingers to nubs. What better way to look forward to post-holiday selfish knitting than with a special handdyed skein of your very own?
This month Dream in Color is tempting us with a lovely fingering weight merino cashmere blend in a green/purple fusion. This is an exclusive colorway of Smooshy with Cashmere. *Swoon*. Check it out!
Of course, the giveaway includes a free pattern to go with it! The pattern for this great yarn is a men’s scarf called Opa! But this would be great for anyone…including yourself!
Want a chance to win? Let us know what selfish knitting you are planning for January by commenting below by Sunday, December 4th. Please leave your contact info (Ravelry name is fine) and we’ll contact 10 lucky winners!
Happy Knitting and Good luck!!

This is just BEAUTIFUL! And I think a scarf my husband would actually wear!
Fingers crossed!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:34 am
I am planning a sweater already!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:35 am
I’m planning to crochet a beautiful short sleeve jacket (Doris Chan design) in turquoise!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:35 am
My selfish knitting will be to continue my ferny shawl and maybe another pair of socks.
November 30th, 2011 at 10:35 am
Selfish knitting right now is ruled but my Beekeeper’s Quilt, I love knitting all those little puffs! (CraftyCupcake on Rav).
November 30th, 2011 at 10:35 am
For some reason, I had been thinking that, as an experienced knitter, I was somehow above knitting hats. I have discovered that I was wrong, and now want to Knit All The Hats. Mostly for me.

Ohhh come January I plan to finish my Fireside and then knit Diamond Crossed Vest. And I’m sure I owe myself a new pair of socks. With this yarn I have a lovely cowl in mind!!
I’m MelaGal on Ravelry!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:36 am
I’m going to try and make time to finally work on a complex project for myself…maybe a sweater? Having that gorgeous yarn to work with would certainly help inspire me! –hepkitten from Ravelry
November 30th, 2011 at 10:36 am
Pretty yarn!
My selfish knitting for January will be a sweater. Haven’t decided on a pattern yet, though.
November 30th, 2011 at 10:36 am
after the holiday knitting quiets down I plan on making myself some socks that I would wear in bed, either cashmere or angora. Really soft ones that would never work with shoes.
November 30th, 2011 at 10:36 am
Amna sweater (on Ravelry) – can’t wait!
(leasoup)
November 30th, 2011 at 10:36 am
Just for me a cardigan in a pretty hand dyed merino.
November 30th, 2011 at 10:37 am
LOVE Dream in Color. Would definitely do a Smooshy scarf for myself in January, just in time for the sub-zero temps!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:37 am
I’ve been making a few Christmas gifts, but the other night I started the Bilateral Cardigan for myself. I thought it might be nice to have at least one new knit for me in the new year!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:37 am
I’m gonna be working on a Wispy cardi for myself! soft, comfy, and a perfect pallet to try some embroidery on.
November 30th, 2011 at 10:37 am
Hoidays will be over!…January knitting will finally be sweater month FOR ME!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:37 am
I am going to knit myself a cardigan using yarn I bought during a Black Friday sale. Since I have never knit myself a sweater or a cardigan this is truly indulgent for me!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:37 am
I have at least 10 works in progress for friends and family, but I am selfishly going to make myself a cowl AFTER all the gifts and WIPs are done. My birthday is coming up in December and this yarn would be a good gift for me (but I will probably end up giving it away, just can’t resist)!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:38 am
Oh, this yarn is lovely! I’ve just queued up a couple of Anne Hanson’s patterns after coveting them for a long time, and plan to start an Autumn Arbor Stole after the holidays. She has lots of patterns for fingering weight yarn that the DIC would be perfect for!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:38 am
I plan on knitting another Romi shawl for me!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:38 am
I can’t wait to finish the sweater that has been languishing and get started on another. Sweaters for me!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:38 am
Wow! What a gorgeous colourway. I’m planning on knitting a hat and gloves for myself – every time we go out, my kids have nice handknit hats and scarves but I just pull on cheap fleece ones! Time to rectify that…
November 30th, 2011 at 10:39 am
How pretty! Love the color! I am going to make a cozy pair of wool socks for myself
November 30th, 2011 at 10:39 am
Ooh, I plan to knit a few wonderfully warm & luxurious things just for me! A new scarf is chief among them. This yarn looks awesome
November 30th, 2011 at 10:39 am
Oh, what to knit? I think I want to try making a hat for the first time! Or perhaps a cowl? Haven’t done one of those either, and there are so many great patterns out there!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:40 am
I will continue to work on my sweater… someday I will finish it!! This yarn looks gorgeous!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:40 am
I’m going to make myself some fingerless gloves in a decadent yarn because my hands get very cold when I’m on the computer.

OMG, January knitting, there is going to be so much of it. I’m going to do one of those humping deer hats for myself in off-white and burgundy wool, I’ll take a stab at that double knit hat from Knitty, I also have the yarn to do the starfish shawl from Knitting Nature and if I start it in Jan maybe I can have it done when weather is nice? I can’t wait for January.
November 30th, 2011 at 10:40 am
I am a selfish knitter right now, finishing my fair isle pullower. But then I have 2 cardigans to make for my husband and after that, it might be some lace scarf for me…
November 30th, 2011 at 10:40 am
My local yarn shop, Mia Bella in Highland Park, Illinois, is collecting caps for chemo patients year round. I set a goal for myself to knit/crochet and donate at least 3 caps (1 man, 1 woman, 1 child) each month. I think I will double my goal for January.
November 30th, 2011 at 10:40 am
I want to finish my socks that I have restarted twice and my double Saroyan that has been languishing as I knit scarves for Christmas presents.
November 30th, 2011 at 10:40 am
I am selfishly hoping to finish a sweater from Vogue Magazine. A Kaffe Fassett design, simple turtleneck that uses yarn I bought from Webs a year ago. Red and brown. Finally getting aroung to it. I would (selfishly) make an entrelac hat or two out of this yarn. Choose me! Please.
November 30th, 2011 at 10:40 am
I am planning selfishly knitting the Noro Sideways Vest in January, or sooner, depending. I LOVE the Dream in Color Smooshy!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:41 am
LOADS of selfish knitting planned – warm things like sweaters, mittens and socks!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:41 am
I’m knitting the Unique Sheep’s Christmas club shawl in Dickens for me!
I can’t wait to get started.
November 30th, 2011 at 10:41 am
Fingerless gloves and a new hat!

November 30th, 2011 at 10:41 am
I have yarn for a sweater, a shawl and socks for myself. I have a tube of beads that would be lovely with the giveaway yarn…hint, hint!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:41 am
Will start on cardis for me with entries for the fair season in mind and thus original designs in all categories.
November 30th, 2011 at 10:42 am
I’m going to finish a pair of socks I started from the knit.sock.love book. I finished the first one but didn’t start the second because my holiday knitting list is too long. Does that count? (And I’m hoping my kids picked out some fun yarn for me, so that will be knit in Jan as well)
November 30th, 2011 at 10:42 am
I am planning on the Elphaba pullover for myself. I cant wait to get started!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:42 am
I’m planning on knitting these crazy awesome legwarmers for myself in January: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/eyelet-rib-leg-warmers
November 30th, 2011 at 10:42 am
The Svana coat is what I’ve been eyeing and will be my January me-project — (socks in Smooshy would be great to go with this coat…just sayin’)
Thanks for the chance! @knittingcrush on Ravelry
November 30th, 2011 at 10:42 am
I have a huge sock yarn stash that I am planning on getting into. Thought I would try and work through Cookie A’s Knit, Sock, Love.
November 30th, 2011 at 10:42 am
My first cabled scarf.
November 30th, 2011 at 10:43 am
I’m going to knit myself a vest out of some very pretty red. Just need to find the right yarn!

November 30th, 2011 at 10:43 am
Handspun sock, for myself!!!!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:43 am
I have a cable cardigan in progress that has been parked since March when the stress levels soared sufficiently for errors in practically every row. After the holiday season, I am dying to pick it up so I can wear it before the cold weather has gone completely!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:43 am
My selfish knitting involves a shawl for me of various stash I have along with a pattern I found at my LYS!! Very excited to see it all come together. It will also be the very first item I have ever made for myself! I Also plan on making a scarf for me after having made and gifted over 10 for Christmas – and this beautiful yarn in the giveaway is everything I love – from the color, to the hand – I can already feel it caressing me in warmth and love!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:43 am
Oh, how I’d absolutely love to make a warm shawl with this wool!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:43 am
I plan to make myself a couple of hats – all the ones I have end up in my daughter’s room. Hm. I also have several shawls and wraps planned, to ward off the cold while I am at my desk.
November 30th, 2011 at 10:43 am
I am not really a selfish crocheter. I love to make things for others. Gift’s out of no-where… I do plan on making a scarf for myself but am really looking forward to making my sister a sarong and this yarn would be PERFECT for it.
November 30th, 2011 at 10:44 am
I am going to make myself a poncho! Yes, I said a PONCHO!!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:44 am
Oh, how I’d love to make a warm shawl with this lovely yarn!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:44 am
I am planning a Lady Kina for me. And I’m going to finish my Haruni. And another shawl. And a scarf. And fingerless gloves. And a gingerbread house. And…
I’m Yammamamma on Rav.
November 30th, 2011 at 10:44 am
I wish I could move on to more selfish stuff, but if I’m not playing christmas catchup, I’ve got 3 (three!) Friends with babies due in January. Knit knit KNIT!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:44 am
Since I have been churning out slouchy hats for Christmas gifts and have been resisting the urge to adopt one as my own, I plan to knit ONE MORE for myself before I return to knitting on my sweater that is hibernating for the holidays.
November 30th, 2011 at 10:45 am
A pair of Bella’s Mittens is definitely planned
November 30th, 2011 at 10:45 am
I’m deep in Christmas gift knitting mode and I’m finding myself dreaming of shawls. I’m thinking I’ll cast on the Narnia shawl for myself once I finish all this gift knitting. Hopefully I’ll be able to cast on before Jan, though! Thanks for the contest!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:45 am
My selfish knitting I’ll do will be a shawl with Noro yarn. It’s going to be beautiful
November 30th, 2011 at 10:45 am
Hoping that January will finally mean I can knit myself the Commelina Scarf or the Geodesic Cardigan.
November 30th, 2011 at 10:45 am
I’m planning to knot another Cassidy cardigan. The first time I ran out of yarn so I could’t make the hood. This time I hopefully bought more than enough.
I love DIC yarn!

I love Dream Yarns! Glad you asked about selfish knitting, cause mostly that’s all I do….ONT at the present time, two pairs of socks, 1 cowl, that is social knitting, because I can’t knit and talk at the same time unless it’s really easy conversation ;-), a hat because the weather is changing and I saw an adorable pattern on Rav, watching and waiting for yarn to be delivered, from Webs (natch) for a RED sweater, for me. Plus some UFOs that are so old I can’t even remember them.
November 30th, 2011 at 10:46 am
I’ll be knitting myself an infinity scarf
can’t wait! Stephaniebuzzella@gmail.com
November 30th, 2011 at 10:46 am
The cabled scarf I’ve been dreaming about since I started knitting!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:46 am
I want to add more scarves and small shawls to my wardrobe, so my selfish knitting will go in that direction. I’m also tempted by the various modular blanket patterns that are trending right now, but I’m not sure I’m motivated enough to complete one!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:46 am
I haven’t even thought about my own projects for January! I have never tried socks and I want to
November 30th, 2011 at 10:46 am
I’m going to pull out my scrap yarn and head over to my grandma’s and learn how to make granny squares for a thow.
November 30th, 2011 at 10:46 am
A Fireside Patchwork Afghan so I can learn cabling, Fair Isle and working with multiple colors. (jazzlvr on Ravelry)
November 30th, 2011 at 10:46 am
My selfish knitting will be to work on my 5-color brioche sweater (in yarn purchased from WEBS). It’s going to be sooo warm!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:47 am
I am spoiling myself with a large, square, alpaca and silk Happ shawl. I am following that with a large cotton, maybe bamboo (yet to be purchased) cicular shawl for the summer months. I deserve both of them.
November 30th, 2011 at 10:47 am
Whee! As soon as the last Xmas item is off the needles I’m starting my first-ever gownup sized cabled cardigan. I have a lovely tweedy slate blue wool (courtesy of WEBS back warehouse, of course) and I’m jazzed about the pattern “Edgewater” by Glenna C.
And that sweater could certainly use a scarf or hat friend. Or mittens for elegant moments. You can find me on Ravelry as PlantsAreNeat, if I’m one of the lucky ones.
November 30th, 2011 at 10:47 am
I can’t wait to get the holiday knitting over with! I plan on knitting a shawl just for me in January.
November 30th, 2011 at 10:47 am
Socks for me! I’m lazyknittanh on Rav.
November 30th, 2011 at 10:47 am
Socks! I would make some lovely, warm, cabled socks for myself. I love socks with cashmere in the yarn.
November 30th, 2011 at 10:47 am
A hat and matching mittens (or gloves) sound good to me!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:48 am
The yarn looks gorgeous. Would love to be selfish, however my Opa in Germany would love a scarf almost named after him
!!!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:48 am
That yarn is utterly lovely, I’d definitely find some selfish knitting for it! ;-D
November 30th, 2011 at 10:48 am
Socks. It’s getting cold.
November 30th, 2011 at 10:48 am
My selfish knitting is going to be a sweater for me!
What a great giveaway! Thank you for the opportunity to win some yummy yarn!

I will be knitting fingerless mitts for me, maybe then a scarf to match the fingerless mitts.

In January I plan to make myself a warm and cozy blanket to snuggle with when this crazy New England heat wave finally breaks.

November 30th, 2011 at 10:50 am
I’ve had a cowl started for months that I can’t wait to finish for myself. I’ll be rethinking that plan if I win this beautiful yarn though.
November 30th, 2011 at 10:50 am
I am making one of those cutie headbands with a flower that is oh so hip now. Cold is okay if you’re stylin’ in hand knits!!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:50 am
I will make myself a shawl with Romi’s newest Muses pattern. I immediately fell in love with the slightly off kilter cables, and the edge is so unique. Color? Maybe Swoon would be perfect!!

My selfish knitting for January is the Trellis and Vine Pullover from Interweave Knits, Fall 2009, in Valley Yarns Deerfield, Frost Gray, thanks to the awesome Webs Deal of the day 11/24! I can’t wait! It is going to be my first sweater!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:50 am
I can’t wait to start my Smokehouse Vest in Teal Berkshire Bulky. Casting on January 1st or when I’ve finished my Christmas knitting and 2 other WIPs – whichever comes first!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:50 am
My selfish knitting will be a shawl. For Me. Me.Me.
What a great giveaway and a beautiful colorway!

Whatever my Ravelry queue tells me is next! I’ve got it perfectly organized for the holidays so I can keep on track. Maybe my first shawl? There’s so many hats, mittens, and scarves in my near future I can’t think that far ahead!

I’m waiting impatiently to knit myself Argonath by Susan Pandorf in MadTosh Pashmina in Mare. It’s my reward for completing all the holiday knitting I’ve tasked myself with. I know it’s going to be fabulous!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:51 am
My January for me knitting will be the Lanesplitter skirt from Knitty. I am currently considering my Noro colorway choices as I work on holiday projects.

I have my wool purchased (in a beautiful green/blue/turquoise) colour and I’m planning to make myself my second oh-so-beautiful Salina sweater by Kim Hargreaves which was published in Rowan Vintage Knits in 2005. I’ve almost given myself carpal tunnel syndrome, making scarves and berets this year for my huge Christmas list and office co-workers. I had start in mid August. So I’m oh so ready to start on something for myself!

Knitting? Never! It’s all crochet for me! Fingering is my favorite weight, and I just used Dream in Color yarn to make the Plumeria shawl…my next DiC project would definitely be another shawl-type object – I’m obsessed! I’m craftwich on Ravelry, and do you know where your hooks are??
November 30th, 2011 at 10:53 am
I have 3 or 4 hats that I jus got yarn for that I will be knitting up after all my Christmas gift knitting is done!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:53 am
My selfish knitting project is to start my Philosopher’s Wool kit I’ve had in my stash for over 10 years. It will be a joy to finally cast on. (passionknit on Ravelry)
November 30th, 2011 at 10:53 am
What a great yarn.
As for what I plan on knitting is a sweater coat. I have a pattern I just need to get the yarn. I love wearing sweater coats in the morning and at night when I get home.
This way I can do one to my specifications.
November 30th, 2011 at 10:53 am
My selfish knitting will be to tackle a cardigan for myself as well as one of the many shawls that have been sitting in my Ravelry queue.

I’m planning on starting a v-neck cardigan with a lace collar! Crossing fingers and toes that both afghans that are Christmas gifts get finished in time.
November 30th, 2011 at 10:54 am
I’ll be breaking my ‘curse of the sweater’…for many years I would start a sweater for a new ‘squeeze’ only to break up just before it was finished…as a result my husband would not let me make him a sweater….but now we’ve been married 22 years..so I am taking the risk! I figure it is really cold in Winnipeg in January so the likelyhood of breaking up that month is pretty low..

I plan on making Amy Herzog’s Twinnings with some Cascade Venezia. Of course I should be finishing my husband’s cardi, a grumpasaurus for a friend, weaving in ends on my sister’s gloves, and burning through the barrels of sock yarn I have in my closet… but oh well.
November 30th, 2011 at 10:56 am
I am planning to knit myself a cowl and some matching fingerless mitts with some yummy bamboo/cashmere/merino blend I bought in Rhinebeck this year!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:56 am
I am planning to knit myself an Albers cowl in January, but maybe the Smooshy with cashmere would be perfect for the Damson shawl I’ve been wanting to knit.

Having just finished my husband’s Valentine’s Day 2009 present (Knitty’s Binary Scarf), I intend to make myself a stranded colorwork scarf in nummy Cascade Lana D’Oro!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:57 am
My selfish knitting for January is to make a shrug from some black Malabrigo laceweight I’ve been hanging on to. Still looking for that perfect pattern! I tell you what, though — if I won that gorgeous Dream in Color, I might adjust my plans. *Swoon* is right!

November 30th, 2011 at 10:58 am
Yes, January is devoted to selfish knitting! I expect I’ll be making at least one cabled sweater, some mittens, and probably a shawl of some kind, just for starters. And hopefully, I’ll be doing some selfish spinning and weaving (I’m getting a loom for Christmas!!!).
November 30th, 2011 at 10:59 am
My projects for January are warm socks and an infinity scarf.

Selfish knitting! Well, let’s see – I really NEED some new socks! But this begs to be a lovely shawlette or scarf. It gets very cold in winter.

I’ve been knitting Christmas socks for my family and have a break before I need to start the next grandchild’s sock (baby due in March, have knit 8 so far), so I decided to knit something for myself. It’s been a long time since I’ve done that (7 years?)…..

I’m planning on knitting a shawl for myself after the holiday knitting is done. Sadly, I usually don’t finish all my holiday knitting on time, and so many folks will be getting one sock with an IOU, so part of January will be spent finishing those socks. Maybe I’ll finish in time this year! Either way, I’m still knitting a shawl for ME in January!

In January I am going to take all my Christmas and birthday money (’cause I’m a December baby) and probably spend oodles of hours looking at yarn and patterns before spending it on something really nice to knit. I’m thinking of jumping back into socks maybe. Something warm and wintery.

I have a couple shawls for me that I’m so looking forward to starting in January—one is using the Valley Yarns I got from you a couple months ago to make Topiary. Also want to start a special shawl for our 40th anniversary next October.
November 30th, 2011 at 11:40 am
Leg warmers because it’s going to be so cold!
November 30th, 2011 at 11:40 am
I am finishing a beaded shawl and the sleeves on a sweater out of Cascade 220 that I ordered from Webs.
November 30th, 2011 at 11:41 am
I plan on making myself some sort of very nice spring cardigan in gorgeous colors! I cannot wait until I get the free time to start!

My selfish knitting is a red cashmere Jade Saphire hoody. How hedonistic is that?
November 30th, 2011 at 11:42 am
Can not wait for January and getting back to finishing first pair of socks for me, then moving on to some more intricate sock patterns and yarn I have been hoarding. Christmas presents and grand daughters first birthday projects have been occupying my needles for many months.
November 30th, 2011 at 11:42 am
Apres Ski Hoodie for me.

My selfish knitting includes a couple of blankets: Hemlock Ring and Umaro are at the top of my list. It’s cold and who doesn’t need comfy wool things to cuddle?!
November 30th, 2011 at 11:43 am
I am knitting/crocheting a freeform shawl following work I did with Prudence Mapstone at the Knit/Crochet Conference in September 2011. And, since I bought some beautiful yarns during my visit to WEBS that month. Ravelry: sharecropper

Well, I am starting some selfish knitting today with the Advent Calendar Scarf KAL, but I am also planning on starting a new cardigan for myself by January.

I’m not waiting for January! Starting Quarzo next week….

I’ll probably be finishing Christmas knitting in January. THEN I would like to make some fingerless mitts to leave in the car.

Most of my knitting tends to be selfish because not enough of my family or friends appreciate the work that goes into hand Knitting an item. But my most lusted after project and the one I plan on casting on is the Lady Eleanor in a fingering weight yarn. My Rav ID is bakerpack.
November 30th, 2011 at 11:46 am
What if we can’t decide?!?! I’m either starting my first cardigan for myself (Anne Hanson’s Leaving), making myself my first pair of socks with some cashmere in it (in Sanguine Gryphon’s Skinny Bugga!)…or making a Damask shawl or Rock Island shawl.

Looking forward to knitting not one, but two (!) capes with button up fronts!

knitting a cashmere hat for myself in January, can’t wait, maybe I’ll find time to sneak it in before the New Year…here’s to wishful thinking!

Back to sweater making in Jan. No more scarves,mitts, or hats for a while. Also time to replenish the stash for small projects. Dream in Colorado for me!
November 30th, 2011 at 11:56 am
I am making myself a wonderful shawl with some yummy alpaca silk yarn. I have been so busy, my knitting time has been limited, but I am glad I have something lovely for me in the queue!
November 30th, 2011 at 11:57 am
Love to make a scarf for my wonderful husband with this yarn.

Wow, this is one contest I’d really love to win–that’s absolutely my favorite color combo! Selfish January knitting? Where to begin, as I have so much in my stash to use up. A cowl using some mohair lace-weight? A cardigan using sport-weight I scored during Webs’ 2010 sales? Socks? What a difficult choice it will be.
November 30th, 2011 at 11:59 am

My selfish knitting for January – hmmmmmmm – what to choose from all the things I want to make. I think that a hooded Aran cardigan tops my list followed by warm, colorful boot socks. That should keep me busy and out of trouble for a day or two. Have some yummy Madelintosh for my sweater project that I can’t wait the use. haven’t decide what yarn for my socks.

I haven’t fully decided what selfish knitting I am planning in January. I could do the sweater pattern that I just purchased, or the shawl pattern that I’ve had my eye on… or the one that I’ll be getting from the westknits shawl club, or a pair of socks for a KAL… or… or… or…
November 30th, 2011 at 12:04 pm
Ok, this is really selfish ….I gave my husband a box of yarn for his birthday in October with the promise that I would knit him a sweater (I haven’t started it). Instead of working on that, in January I will knit myself a pair of “route 66″ socks from “around the world in knitted socks” .
November 30th, 2011 at 12:04 pm
Definitely going to be knitting myself a hat/scarf/mittens set to go with my new winter jacket. I also bought some sock yarn back in September to knit myself a pair of socks I haven’t started yet. January will be a busy “selfish” knitting month for me
November 30th, 2011 at 12:04 pm
I just got enough yarn to make the Dark and Stormy sweater…after I finish the one I’ve put aside to work on holiday gifts!!!

Selfish knitting? All knitting is selfish knitting, at least for me. I’ve fine motor problems from a neck injury. Knitting keeps my fingers limber, so it’s always selfish.
January, I’ll be working on the annual sweater-for-me; I’ve some lovely Valley Yarns Alpaca, purple with orange flecks (Purchased several years ago,) and for some reason, the purple and orange evoke verdigris. So I’m designing a sweater for myself; focusing in the notion of copper-clad cupolas, painted verdigris by time.
zic is my profile, both on disqus and ravelry.

A lovely warm shawl out of some terrrific handspun/handdyed I found at the local sheep, alpaca and wool show. The pattern is a four row easy repeat. January cold, me warm and happy
November 30th, 2011 at 12:07 pm
In January, I’m planning on knitting a beret in fingering weight yarn – haven’t figured out the pattern yet, but there are several vying for attention in my queue!

I’ve got a cozy pair of mittens, a shawlette, and two sweaters on the needles! Winter knitting is the best knitting.
November 30th, 2011 at 12:10 pm
I have two yummy skeins of Kangaroo Dyer Northfield Hand Dyed and I think it’ll make a lovely Corinne (cardigan) – that is, as soon as I finish all of my holiday knits!
November 30th, 2011 at 12:11 pm
I almost always knit selfishly…. I always feel that people wont appreciate the final product as much in comparison to the amount of work I have to put in. My January plans are primarily scarfs and wraps. I have a few Jared Flood designs I been meaning to get to…

Selfish knitting……. lacy shawl and a some socks for ME. But, I just might be able to work in a scarf for my husband too!!
November 30th, 2011 at 12:12 pm
Most of the knitting I do is selfish because no one wears the things I wear, saying they’re too special a gift to wear it. It does make sense but still, I wouldn’t mind them wearing them…

Oh well, I’ll easily get it done from Christmas, says I. But now I find she’s scheduled a doctor appointment for mid December, and I’ll be going up on the 12th and staying thru Christmas. 10 more knitting days lost. I’m beginning to wonder if I can get the dress done by Valentines? Meanwhile, for myself I’m getting anxious to start the sleeves on my own Christmas sweater. Maybe by 4th of July?

In January I am only going to knit this. There are no more babies being born among my friends and no birthdays for another month.

November 30th, 2011 at 1:24 pm
Once ALL Christmas knitting is done, I’m heading straight for some handspun I’ve had “marinating” for a couple of years. It’s itching to be knit into a simple cardigan for moi. I think the Mr. Greenjeans pattern from Knitty calls for just the right amount of yardage!
November 30th, 2011 at 1:25 pm
First I want to finish a pair of knee socks I’ve been working at on and off since April. Then make the most comfy throw I’ve been dreaming about since I took my first knitting class.
November 30th, 2011 at 1:25 pm
I just started the Abigail cowl and will probably be working on it in January too. I also have Margot on the needles, but I hope to finish it this month. My Ravelry username is emilyrossa.

I’m planning a sweater for myself in Northampton Bulky in Navy that’s in my stash, and I will work on a pair of hand warmers at the same time because I like more than one project going at the same time.
November 30th, 2011 at 1:30 pm
I’m planning on starting a cabled vest and a pullover for myself. Can’t wait!!

Come January I have a baby sweater to make, but as soon as I’m done with that I’m finally going to finish socks and a scarf for ME. A little elf also may have let it slip that Santa’s bringing me the yarn to make myself a sweater, but finishing WIPS comes first.
November 30th, 2011 at 1:35 pm
I have actually been thinking about a new scarf pour moi!
November 30th, 2011 at 1:37 pm
A new sweater for me. Found a great pattern just this morning

November 30th, 2011 at 1:42 pm
I plan to finish a pullover sweater that is on hold until the Christmas knits are finished. After that, I am going to knit a cashmere cowl or scarf. Still contemplating the pattern.
This yarn looks wonderful, can’t wait to give it a try.

I have been dying to fix a couple sweaters I knit last year. Since there are a couple small things off about each one (sleeve cuff too tight, body too long) I haven’t worn them. The work will really be minimal and they’re two sweaters I would love to wear.

carcollz (ravelry name) My Do-Over sweater. I made this sweater once before years ago and it is way, way too big. Instead of frogging it, I bought the yarn again and am making it again. Along with socks for me. I am done with my holiday knitting and time to make something for the person who appreciates my work the most
November 30th, 2011 at 1:58 pm
Almost all my knitting is selfish either because I do it for profit (designing) or because I keep it for me me me. I don’t think I’ll be breaking the trend any time soon.
November 30th, 2011 at 2:01 pm
I plan to make myself a fitted cardigan with cream colored Ella Rae Latte yarn. Can’t wait to start, finish it and then wear it!

November 30th, 2011 at 4:20 pm
I love to knit fingerless gloves, and yet I still haven’t knit a pair for myself. I bought some beautiful green yarn last month, and come January it will be knit into scrumptious gloves that I won’t share with anybody.

Hi, I plan to selfishly knit some sweaters for me after finishing my two-year projects of knitting 100 children’s sweaters! (yea, I made my goal.) There’s going to be two sweaters in 1820 Cotton Swirl (red and blue) as well as two in Classic Elite Ultra Silk (black and pink). Then it’s on to the socks to expand my current sock collection. After expanding my wardrobe with these, then it will be on to another charity project. Thanks for asking!

Cannot wait for selfish knitting after all the gift making!! First, hat & mitts from Malabrigo Rios (since it’s already cold here), socks (wool for ice fishing and regular), fingerless mitts, a hooded sweater vest . . . . should I continue??? LOL

November 30th, 2011 at 8:01 pm
I just started a giant shawl that takes 1700 yards of laceweight, so I’m sure I’ll still be knitting that. I’m hoping to knit while selfishly on a weekend away with friends, too.

November 30th, 2011 at 10:51 pm
Through a combination of upcoming projects and extensive Christmas shopping (no time AND no money…), I don’t have any selfish knitting planned for January; I’ll be knitting a throw for two good friends of mine (hopefully in time for Christmas), and a long vest for my mother sometime between now and February, but nothing planned for myself. I’ve been considering a cowl, mostly because it’s something I would use (the walk between the train and work is long and cold) and because it’s something I’ve never made, so it would be a new experience.
(Also, I would like to be entered in the Dream in Color giveaway, please!)
November 30th, 2011 at 11:00 pm
I plan on knitting a cardigan from the knit Noro book. Every year I try to knit something for each member of my family to wear in our Christmas picture. Hopefully 2012 can be the year when we all get new sweaters!
November 30th, 2011 at 11:02 pm
I plan to make some really complicated sock patterns, ones that I’ve been putting off because it’s too crazy lately to concentrate on much beyond plain knitting. For me.
November 30th, 2011 at 11:02 pm
I have been blessed with a granddaughter last May and twin grandsons ten days ago. I have been knitting many items for these precious babies. I am knitting away on Christmas gifts. I just told some friends this morning that I can’t wait until January when I can select a knitting project for myself with no deadline to get it done. I have not yet picked the project. I am dreaming about it … that scarf pattern looks like a possibility!
November 30th, 2011 at 11:18 pm
My selfish knitting will be a sweater for myself, with cable shaping, out of my handspun yarn.

I plan to take some time for myself and knit the sweater I’ve been dreaming of and designing in my head. nothing earth shattering, just a simple top-down set in sleeve, but i’m looking forward to creating a knit i’ll turn to for comfort and warmth. and it will stay with me and not be gifted off to someone else.
December 1st, 2011 at 12:08 am
I have a sweater that’s barely started but will have to sit until gift knitting is done, and a pair of socks that I’ve been daydreaming about. Of course, then I panic about how close the holidays are!
December 1st, 2011 at 12:10 am
I think that I’ll knit myself some lace. I don’t wear what I have, but I do love to knit it… And maybe someday I’ll figure out how to wear a lace shawl and not look dumb…
December 1st, 2011 at 12:11 am
I am going to (finally!) knit myself a sweater! I keep putting it off for smaller projects, but I have the yarn picked out as well as the pattern (weeellll….almost picked out – it’s at least narrowed down to a few!). My ravelry name is SweetgrassBay.
December 1st, 2011 at 12:24 am
I think that I am going to do a lace shawl pattern with beads. Something that needs concentration. Once the party season is over, it’s time to exercise the two brain cells I have left!

I intersperse “selfish” knitting in along with gift knitting. I’ll make something for my friend/husband/mom/anyone else, then I’ll make something for me. This “one-for-me-one-for-you” approach helps me stay motivated. Otherwise I’ll feel sorry for myself all the time and not enjoy knitting one bit!

Sadly (though happily) my SiL is having a baby late March and I’ve a last minute request for a cardigan (non-knitters who do *not* understand time requirements) cardigan for my FiL for Christmas (dying of cancer, can’t turn that down, reality or not) means I’ve got nothing planned for myself. I’ve had my eye (and drooling mouth) on a Leif Slipover, Deep In The Forest Mittens or Old Penny Cardigan in Apple Green Williamstown (no, you can’t have too many cardigans!!), and I’ve UFO’s that would be nice to finish (HA!), but who knows what’ll come up next! I’m trying to pretend Christmas isn’t happening in 3 weeks.
December 1st, 2011 at 8:59 am

I plan to make up another sweater with my Lopi discontinued-colours stash and do a Fair Isle vest out of the leftovers. It’s going to be unusually-cold around here for a good spell, if this winter is anything like the last two. The worst is always January and February. We have already had snow-flurries, and, for Alabama, that’s downright weird. SOOOO, sweaters are looking pretty good! I just finished dashing out a cute, warm hat…took me just a couple of hours with the Lopi Bulky!

Planning on working on my afghan I bought yarn for during Webs annual yarn sale, a wonderful warm orange colored Auracania Azapa. The afghan is by Ann Budd in her “Green Knitting” book , it is called blue cloud, I guess mine will be orange cloud : ) Thanks for the chance to win. Tina

I was lucky and got through most of my Christmas knitting before November hit, but now I am working on a hat for my Grandpa in Rowan Pure Wool DK. After Christmas, I plan on starting either a Summer Flies shawl in Malabrigo Sock, Archangel colorway, or an Arisaig in Rowan 4ply. Or maybe a Shalom cardigan in Rowan Cocoon, Kiwi colorway . . .

Socks. And a lace scarf. And another sweater. At least that’s what I’m dreaming about. Reality??? Well we won’t go there yet.

I have more selfish knitting than I probably will actually have time for planned! There are a couple of sweaters that I want to make, as well as a scarf and hat set.
The biggest selfish project I have, though, doesn’t actually involve me knitting, although it is related. I am going to be setting up a craft room for myself!
December 2nd, 2011 at 8:19 am
I would like some more socks and fingerless gloves for myself as well as another winter hat
December 2nd, 2011 at 8:22 am
I am planning on finishing the squares for an afghan that I started in a Square of the Month class over a year ago and have put off for other knitting.

I saw the beekeepers quilt on Ravelry and have decided that I will start making the hexipuffs along with a group of students from the high school where I teach. We will raffle off the finished product and the money raised will go to the Relay For Life Team to raise money for the fight against cancer.
December 2nd, 2011 at 9:18 am
I’d like to make a nice lacy scarf for myself!
December 2nd, 2011 at 10:56 am
My selfish January knitting to be started on Christmas Day is a sweater with lots of fantastic cables that can’t be knit in public. Maybe a Starmore or a personal design.

I am going to start a lace shawl for myself. Just finished one for my mum, literally a few hours before they got on the plane to go back to the UK, and I love how it came out so I’m going to knit one for myself too! My Ravelry name is DonGinzu.

I am knitting a sweater and going to learn to knit socks because commercial socks do not fit me! Thanks for the chance
December 2nd, 2011 at 1:00 pm
Starting a cardigan for myself and probably finishing Christmas gifts that didn’t get completed in time
December 2nd, 2011 at 1:41 pm
I am going to make a sweater with cables in January. Just finished a hat for my granddaughter.
December 2nd, 2011 at 1:45 pm
My selfish knitting wish is to knit a lacy cardigan that I saw on Ravelry. I am almost finished knitting a few scarves for my son’s teachers. Then I need to knit some soft baby clothes for my two pregnant nieces. Happy Knitter! barbaraberman@sbcglobal.net

December 2nd, 2011 at 3:31 pm
I have two skeins of Kauni that I ordered from WEBS months ago! I am dreaming of colorwork in a rainbow!
December 2nd, 2011 at 5:31 pm
I am thinking it’s time to learn socks because I have lots of cushy warm sock yarn in pretty pretty colors and I’m running low on comfortable socks.
Or there’s all the sock-weight patterns for lace shawls and I could make a couple yummy soft small shawls for keeping my head & neck warm in the wind that Seattle gets in the late winter.
December 2nd, 2011 at 7:29 pm
I have a coupe skeins of Smooshy yarn that I’m going to knit socks for myself. My husband’s sock drawer is full….now it’s time to work on mine!

Love DIC! That scarf pattern is really nice but my selfish knitting for January is the Fiddlehead Mittens! I intended to knit them last year but it didn’t happen so in the new year- me = selfish!
Thanks for the opportunity to win such a beautiful skein of yarn and pattern!

Once I’m done with all my Christmas gifts (it might be January!), I hope to work on some thread projects (doilies) which I love working on and to finish a short-sleeved sweater for myself that I started a couple years ago.

I realllllly want to get back to my Master Knitter program — which means knitting bunches of swatches and evaluating them. And a pair of felted slippers for myself. But first I need to figure out just how much my perfect pair shrunk so I can alter the pattern accordingly!
December 3rd, 2011 at 2:15 pm
I hope to finish spinning the yarn for and knitting myself a nice warm sweater for the winter.
December 3rd, 2011 at 2:26 pm
Oh….I have MANY post-holiday plans! It make take months to figure out what’s next, but definitely, socks from Socktopus is high on the list. And sweaters. And hats. And more socks. sigh.

Definitely a wine-colored cowl with a shimmery mohair yarn I purchased a while back….keep opening the bag and feeling it’s softness!

Beautiful yarn in my favorite colors!
My selfish knitting right now is Ann Hanson’s Blumchen sweater, made from yarn I bought recently at Webs.

I signed up for Craftsy’s on-line sock class and hope to successful complete a pair that fit my calfs
December 4th, 2011 at 3:55 pm
I would love some long fingerless gloves.
December 15th, 2014 at 11:47 am
Is it possible to send me the pattern?
January 15th, 2015 at 1:59 pm
Hi meyan,
Unfortunately this pattern was only available with the yarn as part of the giveaway. It’s not a pattern we carry.

Hurrah! After all I got a webpage from where I be able to actually
obtain helpful facts regarding my study and knowledge.
