For some strange reason, this really appealed to me, so I’m really going to go for it. I’ve already posted two days in a row, how hard could it really be? (kidding!) Anyway, I’ve been mulling it over all day so I figured I should just go ahead and make it official. Wish me luck everyone!

2010 in review
The stats helper monkeys at WordPress.com mulled over how this blog did in 2010, and here’s a high level summary of its overall blog health:
The Blog-Health-o-Meter™ reads Wow.

A helper monkey made this abstract painting, inspired by your stats.
About 3 million people visit the Taj Mahal every year. This blog was viewed about 55,000 times in 2010. If it were the Taj Mahal, it would take about 7 days for that many people to see it.
In 2010, there were 86 new posts, growing the total archive of this blog to 600 posts. There were 18 pictures uploaded, taking up a total of 26mb. That’s about 2 pictures per month.
The busiest day of the year was February 25th with 4,784 views. The most popular post that day was Woven Square Slippers: A Tutorial.
Where did they come from?
The top referring sites in 2010 were stumbleupon.com, tipnut.com, ravelry.com, mindingmyownstitches.blogspot.com, and Google Reader.
Some visitors came searching, mostly for sisyphus, pageant talents, weird facebook status, bugs that eat clothes, and bear skull.

2011: A Knitting To Do List
1. Socks. I blew out the heels in two pairs of hand made socks this fall when the weather turned cold and I started wearing them again. And never mind that both boys are going to need a pair of socks to wear with their winter boots by next year since they are about to outgrow the ones they currently own. Clearly it’s time to knit some more. I’m considering a Yarn Harlot style self imposed sock club.
2. Two Sweaters. The Mister has been wanting me to knit him a Doctor Who themed sweater for some time now. The only thing that’s holding me back is the sheer amount of work of it. He’s not a small dude, you know? I also have the yarn for another sweater for me.
3. Spin. I still have a crap ton of Romney fleece to spin. I should do that. The plan is to not spin it so fine or to navajo ply it (but first I have to finish the quiviut/silk blend which wants to be a teeny tiny yarn).
What’s on your to-do list for this year?
