Shambling Towards Perfection

I figure I may as well start sprinting, as it were, since I've been slowly doing stuff anyway, and this will help me be more organized about it. From my initial backlog I finished two items: Post on Ravelry asking about discrepancies with swatches/question numbers Finish reformatting instructions It turns out that I discovered a slight error in the instructions (for 3 swatches the wrong questions were listed) during my reformatting of the instructions. So now I can proceed knowing that I have the correct questions figured out for each swatch. Anyhow those two items are no longer in the product backlog, so I'll proceed with the next-highest priority items. The sprint goal is to finish gathering materials and finish prepping so that I'm ready to start knitting swatches. I think, since this is supposed to be fun and not work, that I shall not have an actual sprint length. It'll just be done when the items are done. The sprint backlog items are: Priority Descripti...

So I figured I'd begin with listing all the items I've got figured out so far. This will be the product backlog. Some of these items will definitely need breaking down, such as the individual swatches, and probably even the project ('cause it'll take a bit), but this is just the first go at the backlog anyway. I'm listing priorities and rough estimations of time, too.
