Knitter's roundup for 2005

Knitting This time last year, my most recent foray into knitting was over 10 years ago. I'd knit a fair amount in the past, but done more crochet (one major project still outstanding!). I owned, but did not live with, a spinning wheel, acquired during my teenage years. Since then, I've averaged about 2 finished projects per month, and bought a house with J, giving me room to bring the spinning wheel down from Middlesbrough and to have a room to my craft pursuits all to myself.

So - here is 2005's fibre retrospective, and a few hints of the way forwards! Finished projects:

• Clapotis
• Amber
• Waves
• Silk Corset
• Noro York cardi
• Elspeth
• Rebecca 27 cardi
• 3 pairs of socks (Dad's Christmas pressie)
• Noro McKee (Mum's Christmas pressie)
• Natalya gauntlets
• 7ft single-sided curly wurly scarf (crochet)
• 5ft double-sided curly wurly scarf (crochet)

On the needles:

• Ice Maiden
• Lacy thumbsocks
• Triple triangle mohair shawl
• Mask (originally for Stu's Christmas, but postponed)

Goals:

• Document stash (feel the fear and do it anyway!)
• Reduce stash by 50% (this could be challenging...)
• Document upcoming projects/plans
• Document project progress more fully
• No more than 3 projects ongoing at any one time
• Find a zip for York
