As every year about this time, and many others.... I too am looking back at 2011 and recounting. The good, the bad and the ugly... yes there was some ugly in their too:)
What did I work on this year? It seems that I was not as prolific as other years... Could it be the spinning? I suppose it takes longer starting from scratch. Nonetheless, I know I enjoyed both knitting and spinning. I also learned a great deal while at it. This is always good. Learning and deepening your skills.
Also it seems that this year... I was more giving:) 70% of these projects were made for others, sample knits and gifts:) This is good for a selfish knitter like me:) Hmmm it looks like I am growing in a good way hee hee...
As for memories: I had the opportunity to partake in many fun events, and create lasting memories with friends and loved ones! Knitting Retreats 2, Family Vacation 1 big one, Knitting Events 2 or 3... Including Sock Summit! Lets see what else? Two 80s Parties! Can you believe it? Man those were a blast!
I do not know what 2012 holds for me. I am waiting expentantly for GOOD Things. Much love, laughter, good health, fitness, and overall well being. I am hoping that many of us will have good fortune. Make good decisions that will empower us to excel in those areas that we hold dear, and or want to improve in.
To all my family, Knitty friends, and acquaintances - I wish you all the Happiest of New Years!
Have a wonderful evening, have fun, and be Safe!
I will do the same. I plan on visiting mom, sister and brother and having dinner there. Later, I am staying home with the DH, taking in a couple of good movies, a champagne toast or two... and a put in a good start to the last cast on project of the year... Lacy Prairie Shawl by Cheryl Oberle.
I will be spening some quality time with these babies: Hand Maiden Camel Spin in Smoke. Man is it decadent... So luxurious....
Happy, Happy New Year to All, and All the Best in 2012!
Wishing you a warm, woolly, wonderful 2012! xo

You may not have thought you were as prolific this year, but you completed some really stunning projects. Your shawls are particularly lovely!
Love the pictures of your family too. Your little guy is getting so big!
