At year's end, I like to review my knitting accomplishments for the past twelve months and see what I've done. A quick look at my Ravelry 2012 project page reveals a lot of FOs - 188 to be exact. Of course when one knits more than a project a week, that implies a lot of quick knits. I was actually on four different tears this year (surprise! surprise!) followed by some very, very large projects:
- 23 hats - mostly baby hats for charity
- 12 Let It Snowmen! ornaments
- 12 Owls, owl ornaments and owl hats
- 6 Chichester the Pigs
- 4 Cross Stitch Santa Christmas ornaments
- 66 drawstring gift bags
- 1 eternity scarf
- 31 miniature Boy Scout vintage sock oranaments
- 5 mini cashmere socks
- 3 pairs of BF's cashmere socks
- 7 miniature chickens
- 4 pairs of socks
- 2 mini Wallabys
- 1 Wonderful Wallaby
- 2 pairs of fingerless mitts
- 3 baby blankets for charity
- 1 hand woven scarf
- 4 full size sampler blankets
- 1 epic Faery Ring jacket
Whew! I'm tired just thinking about that. My favorite projects of the year, other than the mini projects, of course, are:
The Faery Ring sweater
The four different Sampler Blankets (especially the two that were friendship blankets done as a group)
And finally, Grace's Wonderful Wallaby and wee Wallaby - because you know I just love knitting this sweater!
So there you have it - my year in review. 2012 was a very productive and fun year for knitting. Here's hoping that 2013 will bring lots of joy and happiness to you in all your knitting (and other crafty) endeavors, too!
You really are a "major" knitter! Looking forward to your knitting adventures in 2013! Happy New Year!

What a fine knit list for 2012. I attempted 13 pairs of socks in 2012...I fell short but did make 6pairs and many other fun items....
I love the Kitty cat wallaby
