Knit One, Purr Too

State of the Knitting

It's time once again for the annual State of the Knitting entry, where I go back and see what I accomplished over the last year. I did this last year and it was a rather nice surprise to figure out everything I managed to finish.

This year I'm going to list things by category because it will just be easier this way:

Afghans and baby blankets:

• Cabled afghan
  
• Feather and fan afghan
  
• Basketweave baby blanket
  
• Diamond patterned baby blanket
  
• Eyelet stripe afghan
  
• Basketcase basketweave afghan
  
• Hot Waffles eyelet squares afghan

Sweaters

• I only made one sweater this year - Spring Fling

Toys:

• Topsy turvy Cinderella doll
  
• Platypus
  
• Ten more stuffed snowmen (not all pictured)

Bags

• Messenger Bag
  
• Market bag
  
• Booga Bag

Socks

• I made my very first pair in March
  
• Spiral rib socks, self-patterning, and men's socks
  
• Dublin Bay socks
  
• Basketweave socks (still haven't managed to get a decent picture of the completed pair)
  
• Zigzag eyelet socks for SockpalTwoza
  
• Yet more self-patterning socks
  
• Two pairs of fuzzy feet

Scarves

• Hooded scarf
  
• Linux penguin illusion scarf
  
• Donated scarves (I only made ten of the ones in that last picture)

Lace

• Branching Out lace scarf
  
• Kiri shawl
  
• Mommes Lysedug doily

I think that about covers it. I'm actually quite proud of how much I managed to finish last year, especially considering last year was the year I learned how to make socks, knit lace, and do illusion knitting. I've already got a list of ideas for what I want to make this year
