Year-End Knitting Review

ear-end knitting review!

Throughout the year, I didn't have time to knit much, or focus on other hobbies, but I did manage a few projects, including some baking...

There was the week I baked bread from scratch and made Oreo cheesecake!

I signed up for both Bold Beginner Knits and Knitting Season by Kate Davies -- someday I hope to have time to knit some of these beautiful patterns!

Knitting Season also includes the collected essays Wheesht, which are very thought-provoking and insightful.

My year-end knitting review for 2018 featured the quilt made for me by a special group of friends. The first four months of baby-on-a-quilt photos are in that post.

Here are the next five months:

5 months

6 months

7 months

8 months

9 months

Near the end of the year, I knit some cute mittens and an unsuccessful hat.

Since then, I've been experimenting with a pair of leggings for a friend. Trying to get the right combination of pattern, needle size, and her chosen yarn!


For this year my goal remains the same, to simply knit something sometime.

My other ongoing goals are to:

1. Think about buying expensive wool to make, slowly, methodically, and properly, a gorgeous design by Kate Davies
This is ongoing, and mostly on the backburner

2. Pick up crochet again, but I'm still stumped by the double crochet stitch.
I need to watch more YouTube videos...

3. Organise all our photos and print a few in photobooks
I'm managing to stay on top of this!

4. Bake more!
I have been more successful at this lately. Now to start trying more complicated recipes...

Do you have a few favourite patterns or recipes?
