The Year in Review

Click for info

It has been a really good year for me, knit wise and otherwise. I completed a bunch of projects I am really proud of, and not necessarily because they all fit perfectly or turned out exactly as I'd like. I learned so much from each one about stitch patterns, constructions, sizing, yarn substitutions, stranded knitting, how I can't focus on just one project at a time, and perseverance. I will *hopefully* have two more items to add to this list before year's end: Lucky Clover and the other Log Cabin Sock.

Knitting is such a release for me. It's a craft that I love, one that I can pour myself into and see myself all over each stitch. The memories associated with each knit by where it was completed, how long it took and what I learned from it make each piece an heirloom in my mind. And with each project my skills get that much better, that much more honed and capable. Which is good for me because I have some things on the horizon for 2007 which will make pretty construction and clear thought processes a vital knitting necessity!

As much as my busy life overtakes my knitting and blogging at times, I have enjoyed so much being a part of this community. Meeting new people and conversing with old about knitting keeps me inspired! Thank you all so much for sharing your skills and selves with the rest of the knitblogging world.
