Knitting is a funny thing. Right alongside the bit of my knitting nature that prompts me to cast on or work on four new projects in a week is the bit that thinks on finishing a project "I enjoyed that so much I'm going to knit it again!". Of course it's a very good thing that the mind works like that to a certain extent otherwise I'd never knit any second socks! But to want to repeat a whole project, and then actually get the yarn and needles and do it is a bit rarer.
Must-repeat patterns for me include Cookie A.'s
Monkey socks, Jennifer Little's
Baby Sheep Yoke Cardigan and now the
Owl Baby Vest by Jodi Haraldson.
This one is for baby Freyja, the daughter of a colleague, and I'm knitting it in Baby Cashmerino on smaller needles and at a different gauge to get a 3 month old size (more or less).

I don't think I've ever knit a project that I actually wanted to knit again, nope, I'm on to higher pastures. Sleeves are difficult, maybe need to find a pattern with sleeves that are different from each other. Yeah, that's it!
