Knitting Lists

Why are lists so compulsive? Why are we drawn to notch up what we have done and compare notes on what we haven't? This is my third list related posting of the year, and I may change my online ID to 'List Fiend'.



This is from Kai's blog -

So, you need to mark with bold the things you have done, mark the ones you plan to do sometime in italics, and leave the rest.
