I have a queue as well, but sometimes it fails me. Sometimes I just don't have the right yarn. There's also the issue of a lot of the patterns in there being far too expensive for my knitting budget. How can I spend $7 on a pattern?! That's, like, a skein of yarn or two packages of beads.
So here I have made up a super-queue, a knitting bucket list, to give myself (and hopefully you) some inspiration when my queue just doesn't do it for me.
