To Review

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.

Happy new year! I'm with you on the non-sweater knits - I think it's just part of the natural ebb and flow of knitting.

I spied a few possibles for me to knit next year as well. Wool Peddler's Shawl and Milkweek (love garter on a shawl) and maybe Foglifter for those skeins of sock yarn that don't want to grow up to be socks.

Have an awesome 2011!

You finsihed far more than I did...even while you were recovering from major surgery, started a garden, and adopted some adorable chicks! Please be kind and gentle with yourself, Margene. Life isn't a race, but rather a journey to be enjoyed!

May 2011 be kind and gentle to you and those you love.

Some years just aren't sweater years. As long as the knits are successful and make you happy it doesn't really matter what they are. Yours are all very lovely.

I Love end of year lists - and yours is a good one!

You did pretty darn good this year!! I see my beloved shawl amongst the goods. I wear it more than any other knitted item that I own. :-)
