Knitting List

I've seen this a few places, most recently over at Lyndsey-Jane's blog. I figured now is as good of time as any, so here you go! If you want, you can skip over it all and just go to the end for some exciting news. A warning, though- you may be quizzed on this later! Edit the list, bold for stuff you've done, italics for stuff you plan to do one day, and normal for stuff you're not planning on doing.
