2007 habe ich diese Liste durchgeackert und markiert, was ich gemacht habe, noch machen will oder auf gar keinen Fall jemals tun würde. Nun sind zwei Jahre vergangen, ich habe Erfahrungen gesammelt und sollte mal überprüfen, was ich in meinem strickjugendlichen Leichtsinn damals so verzapfte. Was sich geändert hat, wurde in einer Kontrastfarbe markiert, ebenso wie die Kommentare. Und ich kann sagen, dass sich doch einiges geändert hat.
2007 I worked myself through this list and market what I already did, still want to do or never ever will even come near to. Now two years passed, I made some experiences and felt the wish to check what has changed (when I did this first, I knitted for a bit more than a year). The things which changed were marked in a contrasting colour, as well as the comments. And I can tell that several things have changed until now.
Bold – I did this
italic – I’ m planning to do this
neutral – I’m not planning to do this, but I don’t want to count this out either
