In all the years I've owned the book, purchasing it in San Francisco and hauling it from one side of the country to the other more than once, I have only knitted one garment from the entire text. And that was a very easy 1950s ski sweater that didn't even have long sleeves. But I have plans, I tell you, plans.
One day when I'm not writing/painting/cooking/reading/sleeping, I will make:
Thick Tri-colour Windjammer
Diagonal Pattern Shirt Blouse
Twisted Rib Sweater and Scarf (sounds a bit painful)
Shetland Honeycomb Pattern Sweater
And my absolute favorite:
Butterfly and Moss Stitch Jacket
That's just for starters. I've got the book, I've got the needles, now all I need is the time. Anybody got some extra to spare? No, I didn't think so. Oh, well. See you on Monday with the letter "L." Happy weekend!

Oh, Valerie, I can relate! Not to the knitting, but to the having bucketloads of plans that I will most likely never, ever have the time to carry out. But it has to be better to have too many plans than to have too few, right? I vaguely remember from my youth something called boredom, and it wasn't fun. I hope someday your knitting dreams come true!
Plans, plans, plans--they certainly add up. What we all need is a personal assistant. In my case I would put them on knitting duty. Thanks,Sylvia and Susan, for visiting!
