This was the year that was
2009. In the past year I have completed 36 projects
My 36 completed projects of 2009
That’s an average of 3 projects every month, or one project every ten days. I don’t feel like I could possibly have knit an (albeit small) item every ten days, but seemingly I have. That’s 6 hats, 4 pair of socks, 4 scarves, 3 pairs of gloves, 5 soft toys, 2 hot water bottle covers, 4 baby items, 6 home items and two very dapper costumes for cuddly monkey chums.
During the knitting for these items I have learned to cable without a cable needle, knit short rows, needle felt, knit lace, lose my temper with colour work and then find it again, only to swear ‘never again’ in the full knowledge that I don’t mean that at all.
I’ve knit with pure Icelandic wool, bamboo, merino, alpaca, cotton, linen, silk, no-frills acrylic and something called ‘Lenpur’ a word made up by a group of people in the marketing biz.
I’ve published 8 patterns which have resulted in being logged as projects on Ravelry a total of 238 times and started my own blog which, over 84 posts have generated 248 comments, and some friendly readers, some friendly commenters, and some friends.
Here’s to a great 2010!
