I’m going to do a series of wrap up posts as I love numbers and to review my year, but I’ll do them separately so you all can avoid reading the ones that don’t interest you.
According to Ravelry:
I completed 50 knitting projects in 2020. My goal was just forty so I think that’s pretty good. I actually did a few more than that as some projects contain more than one item.
13 sweaters
17 toques
9 cowl/scarf/shawl
2 pairs of socks
3 pairs of booties
5 headbands/ear warmers
1 baby blanket
1 market bag
When did I do all this knitting? Well,…
January – 8 projects
February- 10 projects
March- 10 projects
April- 2 projects
May- 4 projects
June- 1 project
July- 1 project
August- 2 projects
September- 2 projects
October- 3 projects
November- 2 projects
December- 5 projects
Wow I never realized I knit so much more at the start of the year than during the rest of the year. I also had thought the quarantine time would be the most projects, but obviously I did almost no knitting during quarantine.
Looking at my pictures, I realize I’m not a huge colour work person, but I do really like texture or interest in my projects.
I think the projects I am most proud of are the baby booties I made for a friend’s new nephew as I had to crochet and knit and I had to figure parts out for myself.
Sweater wise I am happiest with my most recent finish- the Instillness Mini by Alicia Plummer. This isn’t a tough knit, but I like that I went back and made fixed it so I am completely happy with it!
I also am pleased to say that I used exactly 100 skeins from my stash this year:)
Have fun!
AJ
100 skeins of yarn? WOWZA! You are smoking, AJ! Well done!
Oh I have to keep going at that pace to get this stash under control. I inherited my grandma’s stash and she had inherited her sister and brother’s stashes, so I ended up with a lot!
Oh my goodness!
Yes it is a little crazy, but I just can’t seem to get rid of it
Like you can’t use it fast enough or you can’t get rid of it for emotional reasons?
I just can’t get rid of it as it’s god year. It has for in handy this year when I can’t go shopping for yarn
Wow! You got a lot done!
Decent amount! I don’t know yet what I’m going to do for 2021
I absolutely love your yarn works!! You are a great knitter and I hope you keep inspiring me.
Oh thank you! I never think of myself as a great knitter- just someone who follows patterns, mostly! I can’t wait to see what we both do this new year
What a productive year!
Thanks!
Wow! You are so prolific!
Lol only sometimes
Congratulations on 100 skeins used and all your projects. Your record keeping on this and your next post (about exercise) is amazing. If you want a change from teaching you would make a great statistician. 😀
Lol I thought that too until I saw my friend do stats and it made absolutely no sense to me🤣
You were sooooo productive! I was not productive during the early stages of lockdown; I just could not focus.
Oh I definitely had some time like that too! I hope it’s better for you now
It is much better. I am learning strategies to help me cope. One of the strategies is to tune out the news!! 🙂
Oh yes, that is definitely necessary!!!
