2017 Re-cap:

I completed 45 projects in 2017:
  • Eighteen pairs of socks 
  • Nine hats
  • Six scarves 
  • Five shawls (including one cowl)
  • Five rat shawls (very small – counted as one project)
  • Two pairs of fingerless mitts
  • One Twiddlemuff
  • One child Boxy
= 4,627 metres in 17 projects. (I clearly didn't note the meterage for all 45 projects last year!) ;-)


The "5 Shawls, 5 Days Challenge" is being run by Frenchie of Aroha Knits again really soon - sign up here.




2018 Plans:
  • Garments - both knitted and sewn
  • Dress for the YarnderTeen
  • Socks for all!
  • Jumper for YarnderNieve
  • More charity projects. (Some patterns you can buy where the purchase money goes to charity are the Stand Up! socks and the Phoenix Hat.)
