2012 Knitting

Ravelry says my 2012 knitting production was much higher than my finished pile of socks would show.  I know some socks were given away without having glamour shots taken and I knit several shawls and a bunch of pairs of tiny socks. 

There are 11 pairs of socks for me in that pile of socks.  They all have some significance for me - favorite yarn, favorite designer or in one case the pair of socks I was knitting while at the Emergency Vet with Lucy - that particular pair will always make me think of Lucy. 

I also knit 3 pairs of bulky boot socks which were given away, test knit a very pretty pair of cuffed socks that didn't fit me - so I gave them away, and all 3 of the girls (The Princess, The Musical One, and The Dog Walker) got socks for Christmas and none of them got photos taken.  There was also 24 pairs of baby socks which were knit with left over sock yarn and all gifted to a friend who then re-gifted them to multiple friends who were having babies in 2012. 

According to Ravelry there were 22 pairs of socks, the pile o'baby socks, a bag, 9 shawls, and a baby sweater started and finished in 2012.  I guess I did more knitting than I thought.

    1. The nice part about sock knitting? Except for the heel flap - it's all just knitting! Love that about it. g

  6. They're really pretty! You have different socks for every mood! And so many hand knits to make others happy - it should make you really happy to have gifted so much happiness to others. FYI, my girls are still trying to talk me out of my pink socks. I tell them they won't appreciate them as I do.

    1. Learning to knit is hard. It's very different from sewing but completely doable. Keep knitting that cowl - you can win this one! g
