That's  67 projects people...67!  And actually it is more than that.  I didn't count the hats I made my students...I made 17 hats in December and January for my students....but wasn't sure how many were made in January...

I still make the majority of things for myself....the second recipient is my friend Deidre, she loves getting things I make....

My favorite projects this year are my Rainbow Wings, my Lanesplitter and my October Fire socks
All knit projects...I guess I'm proud of the fact that I accomplished them and I learned while doing them...but what I wear the most are my cowls....I usually will throw a cowl on with any outfit...

So what are my active projects going into the new year?  I'm working on finishing my Have I Ever Steered You Wrong socks, my Shark in the Woods, my Holly Golightly will probably be finished today (so that would be one more project for this year), I'm also going to start working on the Outlander MKAL shawl to finish before I start the Downton Abbey one....I actually have several shawls to finish...

For crochet, I'm not inspired to finish any of my current projects, but I do have two Elsa doll/blanket things I need to make...and I started a bowl that I'm going to felt for my desk....I should finish the Tabard Tunic, as it's really just the sleeves and belt and then I can put it together....and the Betty Shrug is just a sleeve...but I'm not loving the yarn...It's a big box yarn, Caron..and kind of stiff....but I know it'll soften up...

Not sure if my list will change much next week for the new year...I may add to it, all the kits/projects with yarn, I've gotten the past couple of weeks..

Look at you! What a great result of all your efforts! I am madly in love with cowls (& infinity scarves) too! Looking forward to seeing your next years projects!

Renee Anne said...

Seriously? Sixty-seven projects?! I thought I was doing well with my paltry thirty projects...but, to be fair, I have two small children at home...then again, you have a full-time job that I don't have (other than staying home with the aforementioned two small children). Hmmm.....I think you just work faster than I do.

Tammy@T's Daily Treasures said...

Awesome. I only make small things so probably have made hundreds of them. I should branch out and try bigger projects but I lose interest really quick is something is taking way too long to finish. I can't believe you made hats for all your students. That great. Happy holidays, Tammy

Tahnee said...

67, that's very impressive! Congratulations on a great year of knitting and crocheting.

Lucy Bowen said...

A fantastic haul of projects - well done. I am looking forward to seeing next year's projects.

Sam I Am...... said...

Absolutely astounding! 67 + 17 + 1 from today = 85 projects! If there was a record, I think you broke it!
that's more than 2 projects a week...I'm lucky if I get one done a month! I think I need to take a speed knitting with no mistakes class in order to be able to get some things done. LOL! You go girl!
Happy New Year!

WOW! You accomplished soooo much this year. You are an inspiration. If only I could accomplish half of what you did. Fantastic job this year. Can hardly wait to see what next year will bring for you.

Holy Cow! 67! I think I finshed about 23 items and that was feeling good until I read this post! ;) I hope your New Year has been happy and that 2015 is good to you.
