2006: A Knitting Year in Review

2006 has been quite a prolific year for this knitter, if I do say so myself. Looking back through the archives, I've impressed myself with the volume of projects I've finished and the knitting skills I've acquired. Here's a summary:

Projects Completed in 2006

• My first adult sweater, along with two sleeveless shells
• Two baby sweaters
• Five hats
• Four pairs of Fetching wristwarmers
• Three lace shawls
• Three felted bags
• Three scarves/stoles (two Clapotis, one Lady Eleanor Entrelac Stole)
• One dishcloth

And (ready for this one?) 21 pairs of socks. A small selection:

Techniques mastered (or at least tried):

• Entrelac
• Fair isle/stranded knitting
• Knitting two socks at the same time on two circular needles
• Felting

And I'm ending the year with only three WIPs: J's gray scarf, my mother's cabled tube scarf, and the sweater for my coworker. Tomorrow I hope to give you a peek into the stash and a preview of what projects I might be knitting in the year to come.

I wish you all a very happy, healthy New Year -- may 2007 bring you much happiness, much stash enhancement, and many hours of happy knitting!
