Year of Projects: Week 52

So I have not blogged since November 1!  I have been vlogging on my youtube channel, especially during vlogmas....

Since my timeline is January-December, this is my wrap-up post for the year.

The last thing I completed was the Put a Pom on It...but I have been crafting...I've been working on some advent calendar projects, along with the never ending sock WIPs....I'm not going ot update my list here, as I will for next week.

I hit a slump with my Boxy when I realized it was twisted, so I am pulling it out.....I am also frogging some long held WIPs, like the Nordic mitts....I have no idea where the pattern is....I have other patterns I can use....so going to frog those and start something new...

I finished one of the spouse's mittens. but since those are with Malabrigo Rasta, I have to take breaks from that project.  It hurts my hands.

I'm also going to be joining my friend Angela of YarnNYarns and doing a 12 castons for 2021, so I will have a separate column for that going into the new year.

I do plan on continuing this, as I like being able to see my projects all in one place and the progress on them...but I doubt it will be weekly...
