Happy New Year

Well, hello again.

We had a lovely holiday and did a lot of visiting. I'm very glad we made the trip even though I am not fond of traveling over the Christmas holiday.

I notice that my yarn usage was over 15,000 yards last year. I made a lot of sweaters. I'm also half way to 8,000 views. Still not too many people looking, but more than before I suppose.

There was much car knitting and I finished the knitting on the big multi-color project. Those ends took a few days to work in so the project was finished this year. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

I also got the TKGA rework finished and returned. I think I did better work, but we will see if it is good enough.

Once those were cleared, I made a little baby sweater. I'm still working oddballs and still like things to look planned rather than a bunch of ends stuck together. The idea was to go for a fade look, but I'm not sure it was really successful.

The balls seemed to all finish about a row or two apart so the stripes are more stripey than a fade should be.

I did like the stitch pattern. I will try again with another group of yarns. The button band is striped because I didn't have enough to make a single color button band. Way to use up those odd-balls!

I started a new project, but more on that next week.
