2011: My Knitting Year (As Is Tradition)

[ravelry]

What a productive year 2011 was! So many hats! I did quite a lot of sewing, too, evidently.

Next year I hope to make several pairs of socks, to replace the 3 pairs I have lost so far this year to wear, and I’ve also promised E more than a few tiny toys from Mochimochi land. Luckily those knit up quickly. Happy New Year to all!

Top 5 Posts of 2011

The end of 2011 is fast approaching, which is always cause for a bit of navel gazing around these parts. For today’s post I offer you the Top 5 most visited Knitting, Interrupted posts of the past year.

1. Self Portrait Ski Mask. It’s always fun to see what silliness/creepiness people are knitting up.
2. YaYa Mitts. A top-down knitting pattern from yours truly, for those small treasured hanks of yarn you’re not sure what do to with.
3. Wollmeise Destash. I lured quite a few of you in with my April Fool’s prank this year. *evil grin*
4. Musings on the Closing of Remnants. I was sad when Remnants was retired.
5. 10 on Tuesday Goes up to 11. A top 11 list of my favorite non-knitting blogs.

I still really enjoy this blog, even though the past year I have pretty much failed to deliver on content. I hope to remedy that in 2012 and am toying with the idea of attempting the post a day challenge again. Heh. Well, we’ll see. In any case, I do hope to be a more consistent blogger in the New Year.

Tomorrow:  A 2011 Finished Object Round Up.

Happy Holidays!

It’s been a whirlwind couple of weeks around here. I’ve been knitting and baking and generally making merry, which culminated today for our winter festival of choice, Christmas.

It’s been a pretty great day.

I wish you the warmest of the season’s spirit. May joy and peace be upon you and yours today and always.

Happy Snolloween!

The boys spent the afternoon carving Snolloween pumpkins and singing Christmas carols with their father.

Appropriate given the 14 inches of snow out there.

I just can’t bring myself to knit the gorgeous Wollmeise which is haunting me from my stash, so I’ve decided to give it all way. Details here. First come first served.

(If you aren’t in on the reference in the title, here it is. But I highly recommend you avoid clicking on that link. It’s the worse song in the world and it will get stuck in your head forever and you will hate me. I mean it. Don’t do it. Just don’t.)
