Hello! Hope you all had a lovely lovely Christmas. I did – at the in-laws on the day and from boxing day we’ve been up at my parents in cold and frosty Lincolnshire doing mostly, a lot of nothing.
Trips to 3 yarn shops though minimal stuff bought – a clover amour hook in one, a skein of Araucaria Botany Lace in another. Third one to go to today, although I’m still not sure what I would like to buy.
Round up time! In 2014 I knitted 11,464 meters in 33 projects (Slightly less meters but more projects than 2013 where I knitted 11,927 meters in 22 projects)
Socks
In 2014 I knitted 14 pairs of socks. 13 of these were in 4ply yarn, and 1 pair in Double Knit. This was part of the LSG Secret Sock club where each month you randomly select a bag of yarn and a pattern. This mostly worked for me, although I ended up making one pattern (Broadripple!) 3 times as I loved it so much, and it was an easy diversion. 5 of the years socks were given as gifts, including the final pair the Star Trek socks.
Shawls
This year I completed 4 shawls and have worn them a lot – which surprised me. The purple one, second left was finished just yesterday and is a Road Trip Scarf with a modified ruffle edging to eat up yarn!
Toys
For someone who claims to hate crafting toys, I seemed to make an awful lot of them this year, 7 toys and 1 ornament that was stuffed, so I’m totally claiming it! I loved loved loved the Ed’s Animals book this year and I hope to make some more patterns from the book next year as well.
Other
Final bits that don’t fit anywhere else. This year I made an adult cardigan, 2 Doctor Who Scarves, a hat, pair of fingerless gloves, a pouch, dream catcher and 3 pairs of booties! Phew
A nice quiet new years eve with family tonight – and back on the knitting wagon for the new year and
COLD SHEEP! Eep.
