anuary - ongoing magic loop socks.
February - finished my first ever complete pair of socks! I also joined the Knitting Olympics, and made a Victorian Shawl, finished early!
March - The Easy Peasy Tee in progress, and an update on the kilt hose. I did quite a bit of organization in two gorgeous yellow boxes, of which Frodo approved.
April - finished the Easy Peasy Tee and gave it away to a colleague. And the kilt hose got feet!
May - put together a gift set for a new baby. I also optimistically said "And now, for the first time in a long time, I only have two projects on the go - the kilt hose and the scallop-edged blanket. After that, I've got two socks and two sweaters I've promised to others. And then we'll see..."
But since when does a knitter ever have "only" a few projects on the go?
June - took the kilt hose on holiday but got only a row or two done due to the heat. Visited an alpaca farm! I came home with a bag of unspinnable fibre; the plan is to sew it into a pillow for Sam, who loves alpaca wool (see the bottom of this page), but I haven't done that yet.
July - discovered a lovely pattern for a summer dress for babies. Made one that turned out to be too small for all three of the babies I was knitting for.
August - made a larger dress for my niece and a medium sized one for my Goddaughter. Well, made is the optimum word. Started, is more accurate.
September - all the writing I was doing put the knitting further behind.
October - completed the large dress, and here's the beautiful girl wearing her dress! I was still working on my second pair of magic loop socks.
November - alternately working on the stripey socks and the kilt hose.
December - finished the socks! Here's my friend Agnieszka's beagle Zippy, wondering if they might fit him:
Every once in a while I find a knitting related image on The Orientalist Gallery. This time, there's one called The Wool Spinner.
And oh yes, I'm still working on the kilt hose. But distracted once again - I've gotten a request for a holiday scarf, and found just the right wool to duplicate the Christmas scarf I made two years ago.
I'm also on my own now that Helen's gone to England - the ninnies have gone international!
We'll see what we plan for and accomplish in the year ahead...

Stripey Socks!
reezing cold outside, and snowy and icy:
Just the right conditions for some bright happy socks:
Thank you to Helen for the wool!
And now, back to our regularly scheduled kilt hose.
