Well look at that, another whole year gone by. Once again I’m so glad I have my blog to remind me of all I’ve achieved over the last 365 days.
For a start, there were a lot more FOs than I thought.
Baby poncho x2
Kalinda shawl
Caron cupcake hat x2
Caron cake folded bag (I’ve still got this lying around. I really must give it away)
The teeny tiny llama, and a somewhat creepy amigurumi tooth
There were a few bits and pieces for myself
Flax Light for me
A scrappy neck warmer
Changing Staircases
But I think I’m most pleased with my blanket output this year.
Not one, but two full-sized Lego blankets!
Changing Tides, my first ever CAL
A baby Lego blanket with spare bricks
The super chunky green and purple baby blanket
A more traditionally coloured baby blanket
There was also a Mothers day card with crochet elements, which I know I can do better this year.
Outside of knitting and crochet, I tried my hand at both needle felting and beading.
Then for christmas I whipped up my Dad’s hat and a final headband.
That’s 24 total FOs, which I’m pretty darn pleased with.
With all these projects I also learned a thing or two:
Continental knitting
Foundation crochet stitches
Magic loop for knitting
Stretchy bind off
Needle felting
Crochet loop stitch
So I’ve had a great year and I’m hoping to make 2020 just as good, if not better!
I’m determined that this will be the year I finally jump in to sock knitting. I’m also planning to make a big dent in my stash and make a bit of a difference in the world by focussing on some charity yarnery.
I hope everyone had a lovely new years eve, and that 2020 is so much better to you than 2019 was (whatever kind of year you had).
