| Dinner in the Eiffel Tower |
As the year comes to an end (and not the world), I thought I
would do a little review of my knitting life. My totals for this year are:
Six shawls
Four scarves
Three pairs of fingerless gloves.
Two sweaters (maybe three if I can finish my Solaris by the
31st)
Two baby blankets
One hat
One pair of socks
One shrug
26 projects this year. Wow. That’s about two per month.

| Verdant |
Favorite project for the year: (tie)
My Verdant shrug. It turned out much better than I expected.
The picture of me wearing it also featured on the patterns page on Raverly.
My $5 in Paris sweater. This thing is lovely. It fits so
well because I sized it as I went.

Least favorite project for the year: (tie)
Mini Mania Scarf. As much as I loved the idea of this scarf,
working on it drove me crazy. I had more colors to add, but I lost the will to
live. And I thought I was going to make two of these...NOT!
Dinner in the Eiffel Tower. For some reason, my stitch count was off every
other row, which got annoying really fast.
Pleasant surprise project of the year:

Dinner at the Eiffel Tower. This project annoyed me…until I
bound it off, blocked and wrapped around my shoulders. Wow. Sometimes a project
is worth the trouble.
Major disappointment of the year:
 |
| Arcadian Shawl |
Arcadian Shawl. This project had several strikes against it.
First, the yarn I used was coarser than I expected. Second, it was too easy to
miss my mistakes. I wouldn’t see them until I got two or three repeats away. I
did a lot of ripping with this one.
Third, I was hoping one of my friends who said they liked it would as for
it, but alas, they didn’t.
