Another Year of Projects has started and been running for a month so I am woefully behind. I accomplished a lot last year - three more ganseys, and I did learn 3D crochet which is my new passion.
some of these were done in July, but I just learned how to make a collage so I added them too. |
I knit a lot of socks last year, and gnomes. Looking at my to-do list I did very well and the things I didn't get too turned out to be things I thought I wanted to make but in the end other projects got my attention.
I finished the year with a few WIPS - mostly FoxPaws (which is now done)

and my son's gansey which is done up to the definition ridge so once this heat wave is over I can start the patterning.
You can have a look at my list of completions here, and my list for the coming year here
I cast on my Vroda, a few days ago and I am up to row 10, but with 347 stitches it just looks like this:
I took part in Tour de Fleece this year and I am happy that despite not spinning everyday I did manage to comb and spin these lovely bfl locks
and I spun right off the 292gm fleece these three skeins:

This is my 7th year joing the YOP gang althought it is the 12th year this group on Ravelry has been going. I have links on the side of my blog to other intrepid yoppers. I may not post every week as I have in the past - perhaps more monthly progress.

I do hope to do more painting this year - the banner at the top is my latest. And there is still that novel to edit, and war letters to transcribe, but life has a way of getting in my way so I will continue to do the best I can.
That is all that can be asked of any of us.
