Each year, I try to list the things that I have knit in the last year. It usually surprises me when I’m finished. Plus, it’s a nice record of finished objects to start off the new year.
So, without further ado, here is the rundown of what I’ve finished this year:
Soap Sack: 1
Baby Bib: [...]

I hate getting sick. Time either flies or crawls while you’re moaning on the couch watching episodes of Bewitched and trying not to laugh at the ongoing feud between Endora and Darrin because it hurts too much.
Really, I shouldn’t complain too much, because I’m feeling pretty chipper today. After all, a [...]

As the cold wind howls down from the north, sock hunters tend to cozy up to a warm fire and dream of sock hunts past. They throw parties and compare pictures of their most prized socks. Many pleasant evenings are spent throughout the long winter in this manner.
However, some pleasant days do arrive [...]

Christmas was, as expected, an irritating affair where I attempted to spend it with people I like, but was thwarted repeatedly. I did indeed make it home at a decent time, the roads were fairly clear, but the driveway was a veritable ice rink.
Luckily my gifts were well received, and I received many hugs for [...]

Lovely green mitts. All I could smell while I was knitting them was evergreen boughs. I’m not sure why that is, maybe smell-color association?
Anyway. I tried a combination of stitch patterns here that don’t please me 100%. I like the twisted stitches, and I thought the palm needed to be smooth, [...]

I finished the scarf to match the gloves. Same yarn, Cherry Tree Hill Supersock DK Select in Caribou Creek, knit on US 5 bamboo circulars.
It’s plenty long, about five feet on estimate. I love the combination of cables that I used in this. From left to right, a left cable (2 over [...]

How it is that we are only seven days from Christmas, and I just now realized it? I feel like I’ve been sucked into the thesis-vortex and I can’t escape.
I am but pages away from finishing my thesis and sending it off to be torn apart. yay.
I’m also about [...]

I wanted to knit my mom gloves that were unique. She picked out a great yarn in a lovely color, and it wouldn’t do to use just any pattern. I searched Ravelry, checked some of my favorite books, and eventually came to the conclusion that the right pattern wasn’t available. So I scrounged [...]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Ferocious! Socks!
Help! Help your Sock Hunter! I’ve been snapping pictures for my viewers, but you have to send help!
I’m not sure I can hold out much longer, and my camera battery is dieing.
Help me, help, uh, well. . .
They looked more ferocious when I first saw them. Ahem. This is your Sock [...]

Winter can be a devastatingly frustrating time for sock hunters. The socks and photographic opportunities are fewer and farther between. Socks hide in trees and bushes, burrow underground, migrate, and generally escape the arctic cold that floods my home.
So, when a sock hunter happens to be out and about under a dark and [...]
