The knitting checklist

I saw this on some other blogs and decided to give it a try.

Bold = stuff you’ve done, italics = stuff you plan to do one day, and normal = stuff you’re not planning on doing.

Afghan
I-cord
Garter stitch
Knitting with metal wire and I'm glad I got that one out of the way, because I don't think my wrists are up for it anymore.
Shawl
Stockinette stitch
Socks: top-down
Socks: toe-up
Knitting with camel yarn (maybe)
Mittens: Cuff-up
Mittens: Tip-down
Hat
Knitting with silk
Moebius band knitting
Participating in a KAL
Sweater
Drop stitch patterns
Knitting with recycled/secondhand yarn (maybe)
Slip stitch patterns
Knitting with banana fiber yarn (maybe)
Domino knitting (=modular knitting) (I think--does the Moderne blanket count?)
Twisted stitch patterns
Knitting with bamboo yarn
Two end knitting (Since I have to ask what this is, the answer is probably no I haven't done it but I probably wouldn't mind trying)
Charity knitting
Knitting with soy yarn
Cardigan
Toy/doll clothing

I like your style of pattern writing. The one pattern I ever "wrote" was in a similar vein. Lots of "cast on a goodly number of stitches" or the similar.
