Several years ago, I made a bucket list of what I wanted to make. Â The original post came up as a related post, so I decided to see what I’ve actually done. Â I could actually strike some items off the list – wow!
So, revising the bucket list …Â Here is what was on my original bucket lists, and how I’ve done …
1)  Entrelac – learn how to knit and crochet entrelac correctly – nope, not yet.  I’m still doing the biased basketweave pattern.  Will remain on the list.
2) Â Granny Squares with a Zigzag Twist – nope, not yet. Â Will remain on the list.
3) Â Apache Teardrops – nope. Â Having second thoughts on whether I still like this.
4)  A hexagon project – Yes !!!  The African Violets !  I still want to add to it, to make it bigger.

5)  The Cathedral Rose Window Afghan – Stained Glass Afghan – Kaleidoscope Afghan – Nope.  Will remain on the list.
6) Â Kitchener stitch and seamless grafting – nope. Â I’ve sort of figured out a way to join seamlessly, but this will remain on the list.
7)  A lacy beach coverup – yes !  Here’s the post  and another one, if you want to read all about it.  And one already in progress 🙂
8) Â A fine-lace/fingering weight project. Yes! Â I’ve worked more and more with fingering weight yarn. Â I do have hanks of lace in the stash, but haven’t started anything with that yet. Â And while this is not quite a fine lace project, there is ‘lace’ in the title – does that count? Â
Hawaiian Lace and
Busco Gancho LaceÂ
9)  A Japanese pattern – any pattern.  Nope – will remain on the list.
10) Â A woven blanket made with the Cricket loom. Â Yes !! Â And am planning on starting another one, before I forget how to use the loom and weave. Â This 5-panel blanket had me woven out, after I finished working on it.

11) Â
Mandala Crochet Coat – nope.  But will definitely remain on the list, since I’m drawing a lot of mandalas, anyway.  One of those designs will end up as a coat, since I now have the basics on how to crochet a coat or jacket 🙂   Oh yes, although not a mandala, I did crochet two coats last year!  Yaaayyy!!
Not originally on the list, but I added ponchos to my mental list, even though I think at some point I said I wasn’t going to make those.
Surprisingly, I don’t have any new major thing to add … Just more ideas to make the same things with different yarns or patterns, like the coat, beach cover-ups, and woven blankets.
But the year is young … something may come up yet!  🙂
Do you have a crafty bucket list? Â How are you doing with it?
