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!
Wishing you an equally productive and great 2010!http://eskimimiknits.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wool.gif
Congratulations on a year full of accomplishments! I hope your 2010 brings you continued knitting and otherwise success!
Wow, what a year!! That’s very impressive. Happy new year!
Hi Eskimi! I just browsed in after reading a post in Ravelry about blogging, so I thought i’d come say hi.
I love that pillow with the cabling down the front! Pillow projects have been catching my eye lately. 
I wanted to let you know… I was trying to find the comment button there for a minute or so before I found it. I dunno why it was so hard to see at first.. maybe the font? Just thought i’d let you know.
Love your blog!
Have a lovely new year 2010. I have been reading your blog for a few months now, and love it. The style is great, the writing is so readable (IYKWIM). Congrats on achieving so much in a year.
