The Knitting Skills Meme

I don't usually participate in these meme thingies but I thought this one was interesting.

Bold is for things you have done
Italic is for things you want to do some day
Leave anything else plain

Afghan
I-cord
Garter stitch

Knitting with metal wire
Shawl
Stockinette stitch
Socks: top-down
Socks: toe-up
The toe up socks were knit flat and seamed. Does that count?
Knitting with camel yarn I was thinking I'd like to spin some camel this morning when I saw some for sale. I need to use up a lot of stash first though.
Mittens: Cuff-up
Mittens: Tip-down. Interesting, but we just don't need mittens in Australia enough to try it. Maybe one day.

Knitting in public

And a question: What have you learned to do that has marked a definite change in your knitting life?

Learning to knit a jumper (sweater) by measuring the recipient & without a commercial pattern or software is the best thing I have learnt. It finally "clicked" for me when I read "Knitting in the Old Way" by Priscilla Gibson-Roberts.
