Here’s what I knitted in 2008:
1. Monochrome afghan, 2. Finished, Yoda is, 3. Scrubby, 4. Gah!, 5. Hot water bottle cover for Erica, 6. Baby socks, 7. Big green cowl action shot, 8. Submarine cable socks, 9. Sock in progress, 10. Cowl, 11. Green hat, 12. Vest – complete, 13. Noro striped scarf, 14. Simple mitts, 15. Green sweater – almost done, 16. Nolan in hat, 17. Girlboyperson hat, 18. Scrubby, 19. Amy in her new hat, 20. Dishcloths
Additionally, not in the pictures above but soon-to-be-blogged, a striped cardigan.
Or, to put it another way:
- three sweaters/cardigans/vests
- two adult pairs of socks
- three baby garments (counting a pair of socks as a single)
- a hot water bottle cover
- a scarf
- two cowls
- three hats
- a pair of mittens
- half a dozen dishcloths (not all are shown)
- one blanket (technically crocheted, not knitted, but whatever)
- a shopping bag
According to Ravelry I finished 20 projects, of which five were gifts. This year’s resolutions commit me to at least meeting those two figures again this year.
Things I learnt:
- I don’t really like variegated yarns; semi-solids are OK, and self-stripings, but the normal hand-paint variety just don’t float my boat. Not even in butch colours.
- Yarn heavier than aran weight is just Not For Me, at least not as a general thing.
- Don’t put your hat in your back pocket or you’ll lose it (I lost two this way, this year.)
