Knitting Resolutions

rooibosHello all!
I never, ever make New Years Resolutions, but this year, I wanted to shake things up a bit. I'm not doing it the usual way, though-- I'm simply resolving to finish 10 knitting projects in 2010. They don't have to have been started in 2010, but as long as they're finished in 2010, I will be happy.
I have a tentative list of things I want to finish, along with appropriate Ravelry and Flickr links!
1. Spirogyra mitts for the Habitat for Humanity auction in February. I've started them, but I haven't taken pictures of them yet.
2. My Swallowtail Shawl, which I started during my appendectomy recovery, but didn't finish.
3. My poor Odds Scarf, which will be bequeathed to Morgan during Senior Week.
4. Fingerless gloves for Karen, which I've been promising her for years. I wound off the yarn for it yesterday, and it's drying. It'll be an experiment in knitting with handspun singles, but they're very well-balanced singles and they've been sitting in ball form for over a year, so the twist is well and properly set.
5. A pair of these for funsies, when Suzanne gives me the pattern. I have the yarn and everything!
6. This is ambitious, but I want to make this shawl this year. I have the pattern, even though I haven't been following the KAL. Again, I have the yarn I want to use for it.
I'm sure I'll want to knit some random socks and perhaps something surprising for my lady, so I'm leaving the last four spaces open! But let's see if I can do this!
Does anyone else have knitting resolutions?
