Knitting out the old, and knitting in the new!

2011 was a wonderful and adventurous year.  There were a few (major) bumps along the way - especially with the health of family and friends - but I'm grateful for all the good that happened!  I rang out the New Year the way I love best: family and best friend and ice cream.  It really doesn't get any better than that!

It was a good year for knitting.

I estimate that I knit:

13 hats
6 sweaters
4 pairs of socks
1 pair of mittens
3 baby sweaters
1 scarf
1 shawl
1 felted purse
1 possum  ;-)

I also finished two other sets of mittens - but as they are waiting for linings, they don't count.  ;-)

I spun up MUCH fibery-goodness as well, including three of the Enchanted Knoll fiber club offerings from last year, and 1.5 pounds of yumminess from Roclans (purchased at the 2010 NJSW).

Of the above, MOST was from stash.  I'm pleased!  Knitting up six sweaters does a lot to eliminate stash.  Unfortunately, I've left a bunch of lace yarn on my shelf, which I'll need to tackle this year.

The plan for this year?  Continue to stash-bust.  If I continue at the rate above, I may just about get through my stash (or much of it) this year.  My plan, therefore, is to either knit it.... or get rid of it in 2012!

Here's to a happy, fiber-filled New Year!
