I just can't finish the year without a review of the 2010 knits.
How is it in 2009 I knit 11 sweaters and this year only one? The beautiful Henley (not shown) should be finished within days. Hopefully, I'll make my self imposed deadline (which shan't be reveal, so as not to jinx the deal).
Please check MY Ravelry page if you have questions about yarn or any of the projects pictured.
From top to bottom:
1. Mystery Socks by Kirsten of Through the Loops
2. Monkey Socks by the fabulous CookieA
3. Wool Peddler's Shawl by Cheryl Oberle (this shawl was knit in secret, so no, you didn't miss my posts) - for a friend
4. Leafy Mitts by Ruth Stewart (Impulse of Delight) - for Suzy
5. Community Gardens from the Twist Collective Fall 2010
6. Traveling Woman Shawl by Liz Abinante - for a friend
7. Fountain Pen Shawl by Susan Lawrence - for a family member
8. Sprossling by Anne Hanson - my only sweater for 2010
9. Carole's Picot Edge Socks - by Carole Julius
10. Nutkin Socks - Beth LaPensee
11. Milkweed Shawl by Laura Chau
12. My own Frida Kahlo Craziness Shawl
13. Another Leafy Mitts (for me) by Ruth Stewart
14. Surprise! This Fog Lifter has been in process for a long time and it's so nice to have one last finished project for 2010. Details next week.
Now, onto 2011!!
Happy New Year, friends!!

Some years are just not sweater years! But I do see lovely shawls, socks and mitts!

Love, love, love Sprossling! You look fabulous in it! All your knits are beautiful. 2009 was about sweaters. 2010 was about something else entirely. I know 2011 will bring you new delights!

You knit beautiful things this year, Margene! Happy 2011!

You had good reason to take it easy this year, and you still knit many beautiful things.
Posted by: Cheryl S. | December 30, 2010 at 08:07 AM
Lovely things! Which is your favorite?
Posted by: Heather | December 30, 2010 at 08:30 AM
Those are some lovely knits Margene! You are too hard on yourself. 2010 was about healing and getting back on your feet/needles. Happy New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Wow, you knit so many gorgeous things this year! May 2011 be filled with inspiration for you. :)
Posted by: Chris | December 30, 2010 at 12:31 PM
It would be so boring if every year was exactly the same!! You have had such great variety over the past years. It's always interesting to see the finished products! You are an inspiration...I only have a few unfinished projects for 2010!!
Happy and Healthy New Year!!!

Beautiful knits!

Life changes and we change with it. Sometimes that effects the knitting. Ask me how I know this. ;^)
It's been a wonderful year spent watching you heal and knit your way through some lovely projects. I am looking forward to the coming year with you.

What a nice, balanced list! You probably didn't need to make more than one sweater for 2010, with all those new ones filling up the drawers and closets. I love everything:) Happy knitting and spinning in the year to come.
Posted by: Birdsong | December 30, 2010 at 05:49 PM
Srsly? Major surgery and gardening and you still knit all that stuff? Pulleeeeeez.
Posted by: CindyCindy | December 30, 2010 at 08:24 PM
There are times when small projects are what we need. That yours are all beautiful is icing on the cake.
Posted by: Ruth | December 30, 2010 at 08:37 PM
Your year in knits is so very lovely. You knit beautiful pieces, and they were just right for you this year.

Wow.

(I don't think I finished *anything* this year...)
Posted by: gayle | December 31, 2010 at 05:27 AM
Doesn't have to be a sweater year. Looks like the year of shawls and socks. Lots of knitting up there. I will recap by yards knit. Last time Im going to keep track of that: tedious.
Posted by: Laurie | December 31, 2010 at 06:12 AM
All the best knits to You this coming new year!
