2010 Review, Finished Objects Part 1

It hardly seems possible, but I only finished 14 projects in all of 2010, plus a bit of charity knitting. Only one of those projects was even all all big or complicated, so I can't even use difficulty of the knitting as an excuse for my poor volume of output.

I finished:

6 pairs of socks
3 cowls
3 small shawls
2 sets of cuffs/mitts



These were my favorite socks of the year, finished last Spring. I love the colors. They are made with Pagewood Farms Yukon sock yarn. My previous experience with this yarn is that it does relax & pill more than some other yarns, due probably to the bamboo content. So I have gone down a needle size on my more recent sets of bamboo blend socks, which seems to help.






In the Fall, I managed to finish 3 pairs of socks in one day. Sounds impressive until I confess to the real reason behind it. I find it much easier to kitchener in bright sunlight, so the knitting was actually finished at various earlier times.


October 23rd, 2010 was a gorgeous & warm Saturday, so Lucy sat out on the porch with me & kept me company throughout the kitchenering.
