It feels like it's been forever since i've posted here...wait, it has been! So knitting, unfortunately, has been on the back burner lately. I had Bell's Palsy this past fall and school things started requiring a lot more concentration than usual (i.e. multi-tasking was impossible for a while). I have gradually improved and think that my brain is finally pretty much back to normal. However, this semester is even more hectic than the last one! In fact, i'm going to be dropping a class tomorrow (no worries, it was an elective, i took a class in January Term so i could complete my final semester with only three classes if need be). So i've only been knitting a little bit here and there and don't really have anything substantial to tell about...other than my Christmas knitting, and even in that case i unfortunately didn't get as far as i meant to.
So, in 2010 i completed the following projects:
Dashing Evi mittens FINALLY
Ginny's Hex Vest...which somehow ended up felting in cold water
Tangy Giselle - even more FINALLY, as i had been dreaming of this project for years and had multiple issues with it
Drunken
Bees Toes - my socks still have issues that i need to work out
Gentleman's Matrimony/Cozy Socks
four
Monteagle bags (with various variants)
a
Lacy Starfish Snood that i'm in the process of reworking the band of (it turned out to be too loose)
Mega-
Sonic Screwdriver for Megan
Shy
Adipose for Josh
Wisp scarf for Abby
Lacy
Skull Cap for Alice with matching mini-hobo purse
Baby
Totoro cap for Caleb (that turned out being huge)
And my
Asymmetrical Wrap...which doesn't have finished sleeves yet, but i've worn a couple of times as a vest. The sleeves are in the works (i've finished the cuffs so far...pathetic, i know) and i'm planning to make them removable anyway. I'm also planning to add ribbing to the back waist because it rolls up so much right now.
I guess i did get a lot of knitting done in hindsight, with about 15 projects completed and a few more started. This year i hope to improve upon my finishing methods (weaving in ends, putting the zipper in my Fair Ginny cardigan, figuring out how to seam that baby sweater i knit years ago, etc.) and will probably eventually get around to working on quite a few projects. River's vest (from
Firefly) being among them... yeah, i've been crocheting more, even tackling amigurumi for the first time. Yeah, i have been dreaming of a couple of projects but have no idea when i'll be able to tackle them.
