I've been planning my knitting for the second half of the year, both in my head and in my Ravelry queue.
I bought yarn for 4 major projects at Bendigo, and I only had one major projects worth in my stash, so this plan should take me through the end of the year.
August's major project is the Chuck sweater. I've started swatching for it, but I'm out tomorrow and I'm not sure if I can deal with getting everything organised and casting on out of the house, so I will probably knit a pair of socks first.
September's major project in a jumper for Leon. We are (hopefully) going on a short holiday somewhere warm, and I think the body of it will make a great holiday project. Stocking stitch in the round. before that I'm going to make a cowl. We were originally going hiking in September, but I don't think that is going to happen now, but it is a piece missing from my kit, and I think there will be some hiking done in October, when it is still sometimes chilly.
Then it is sOctober, where (surprise) I'll be knitting socks. In November I'm going to make Kate Davies Kildarton cardigan. I reckon it might take me all month!
The end of December will be time for Leon's winter set. I might start the month with Birds Of A Feather an Andrea Mowrey shawl, or I might stick with small things.
Then January could be LOSY month, where I knit charity hats and on my blanket. Or I could buy yarn, because by then I will be out of project lots of yarn.
Hopefully at some point I'll get some further inspiration, because the list above uses up all my yarn, and I don't think there is an actual rule that once you have knit your whole stash you are done, and have to quit knitting.
I'm mainly publishing this list to see whether I stick to this plan, whether I buy yarn, or whether something else completely unexpected happens.
