I found this on the Odds and Ends blog. I have done very little, but this may inspire me to find out what some of these things are, then give them a go.
The rules: Mark with bold the things you have knit, with italics the ones you plan to do sometime, and leave the rest.
Additional rule: Mark with a different colour things you have never heard of but are fascinated by!
