Why it’s on the list: I’ve tried to learn to knit a few times but been largely unsuccessful, partly because I am left-handed and everyone I’ve ever known who can knit is right-handed! However, when I was pregnant with Katie I did learn and knitted her a little matinee jacket; I started doing another one when pregnant with Dan but only got halfway through and since then I’ve lost my knitting bag! Now that knitting is such a trendy thing to do I’d really like to give it another go.

How/when I’ll judge this task to be completed: When I have knitted a scarf long enough to be worn.
