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...

It's always nice to see how folks track their yearly projects. You are certainly busy!! Best wishes on your 2021 plan.

Not much of a video blog follower so I'll see your updates when you post them here.

I have many video blogs to catch up with- hopefully this week. In the meantime it is lovely to 'see' you here, and you are always very welcome. I'm so sorry about your body - I love mine so I hope you do get to redo it!

I think you can be very proud of all those finished items and how many WIPs you finished this year. I have been making preparations to ween myself off a lot of social media and have unsubscribed from almost all the channels I was watching as episodes were backing up and I find myself feeling guilty, which is crazy. So I will dip in and out but mostly catch you here as I am definitely not dropping the YOP group. I hope 2021 is a good one for you and easier than 2020.

I'm still not brave enough to put all my WIPS in one place, heck, they aren't even all on Ravelry! I enjoyed your notes on the items as well, sometimes identifying what you don't love doing is a way to help you overcome the obstacle and move forward with the project (or the frogging of the project!)

I will hold you and your spouse in my thoughts. I watched a couple of your vlogs and I love the advent gifts you have been unwrapping. Can't wait to see what you do with them all. Take care of yourself. Here's to 2021 being happier and healthier for us all.
