wow!! that is some list. At first... I thought that it was yours!!! I was really impressed. What would yours look like??

Well, the list itself I scammed from somewhere else (the crochet dude's blog to be exact) but all of the bold items are things I've done. I imagine I may never get to some of the non-bolded items...in fact, you make a good point...I should change some of those items to things that I really want to do but haven't done yet.

OK. Looking at the blog I can see that the bold bits are not that visible. I guess the green background doesn't lend itself well to showing those subtle differences. Will use italics instead...
