In 2010 I knit three cowls/neckwarmers, four pairs of mitts, seven hats/headscarves, three sweaters (and began a fourth), two baby hats, two pairs of baby socks, two and a half pairs of normal socks, a pug vest, and four stuffed toys.
My favorite finished products were the three sweaters (this because it was my first, this because it is the perfect sweater for Bryan, and this because I will wear it the most), Bryan’s cabled hat, and my Spring Forward socks.
I learned to do provisional cast-ons, basic intarsia, basic lace, more advanced cables, short row shaping, sock heels, picot cuffs, sweaters with no seams, sweaters with lots of seams, i-cord, bobbles, kitchener stitch, and probably some other things.
I realized that given time, patience, and supplies I can eventually knit pretty much anything I want to, and that’s a really good feeling. Here’s to another year of crafting!
