July knitting progress report

July=zero FOs. What happened during these lazy summer days?

I made some mistakes knitting socks and became somewhat burned out working on them. I devoted most of a weekend to reading the last Harry Potter book. I finished knitting the secret project but got stuck on the required crocheting. (I did figure out how to crochet in chain stitch, though.) On the plus side, I took stock of what I've learned how to do this year. Not too shabby, if I say so myself.

Works in progress include two socks--well, one in progress and one that hasn't been frogged all the way--a dishcloth untouched for a month, secret project #1 (in need of finishing), and secret project #2. The secret projects will be completed this month, and at least one sock should be foot-ready before the month ends.

I can say for certain that a dishcloth will be finished in August because Dish Rag Tag is here! I don't think I can explain it to non-knitters without them thinking I'm completely insane for participating. It is a silly thing to do, but it amuses me and should be fun.

Here are links for previous progress reports: January, February, March, April, May, and June.

So, five months to go, two and a half until I've been knitting for a year. Sweaters of the baby and adult kind are the only major goals remaining of my new year's knitting resolutions. I'm hearing that I should learn how to do cables. What other knitting knowledge should I aspire to absorb in 2007? What are your goals?
