Well hello there. It is a bright new shiny year for us all. I was not one of those up in the wee hours to welcome the New Year. Instead I was fast asleep and now feeling quite rested! What better time to see what yarny things I completed in 2012?
How about if we start with the socks?
15 pairs-whoot whoot! Hmmm...it was indeed the year for stripes wasn't it?
A lot of shawls. Since I was not aware that I would knit so many shawls in 2012, it will be interesting to see what 2013 knitting projects will be.
I have read a lot of resolutions on other blogs. A really fantastic one here. Personally I have some basic ones for myself.
- Knit more from my stash
- Not to have so many UFOs
- Continue to buy and explore more Indie dyer's yarn.
There...told you it was basic. Short sweet simple and entirely do-able. How about you? Do you have a long list of resolutions this year?
What I resolve to do more than anything this year, is to let those around me know at all times how precious they are to me. Making 2012 fantastic was continuing friendships with many and starting new ones with others. Which can only mean 2013 will indeed be a wonderful journey!
Sending you all love and best wishes for this New Year!
XO
Andi
looks like 2012 was pretty great yarn-wise! happy new year!

Your gallery of socks make me smile ... as do all your blog posts! I'm keeping things simple for 2013, too, and my resolutions looks very similar to yours. Nice to be in good company.

It's always so fun to see a year's worth of knitting in mosaic!
I agree. We're here for relationships. Time is fleeting. And those brought into our lives are precious, indeed.

Everyone has been so optimistic with their resolutions this year. Mine is to just keep with all the amazing strides I made in my health, weight, social life and attitude.
And I LOVE the striped socks, as always. I am putting "make a pair of striped socks" on my resolution list for this year :)

Beautiful work...I've seen these projects before but is quite impressive to see them together in this post. I love your goals - simple and doable. Happy 2013!

I LOVE all the stripey socks. I hadn't realized you knit 15 pairs. Wow! And of course all the shawls too. Your love of the stripes made me put some indie striped sock yarn on my Christmas list.
Have an awesome 2013!
And ps - I won't point out the conflict between working more from the stash and buying more indie sock yarn :)

Hey, what yarn and pattern did you use for the last sock on the third row? I love it and what to make my own! Thanks!
Posted by: jen | 01/01/2013 at 11:00 AM
I knew you had knit quite a few socks. But 15 pairs? Wow!
I am always inspired by your knitting. Without you, I wouldn't have discovered the Skyp pattern. I can't wait to see what you knit in the new year.

I remember most of them too! You're a sock and shawl maestro! Best wishes that 2013 turns out to be everything you want it to be.

You are a knitting machine!!! Your gallery of finished projects made me smile!!! I can't pick at all!
Best to you Andi for 2013! Again, thanks for your support and cheers to new friendship!!!!

All your FOs are so pretty, but I especially love the socks. They're individually gorgeous, but the mosaic really adds dimension and cohesiveness to the year. Happy New Year! :)

Oh my heavens you have been prolific in the past year. I have a feeling it will be just as busy in this new year. Your work is lovely!!!!! I warmed my heart to see the photo of my shwal in those photos. I love it !! I never really make new years resolution really. What are UFO's??? Unidentified flying objects??? :) If you have too many send some here for life can be a bit boring around these hills.
Wishing you a marvelous new year in 2013!!
Hugs!

This is such a simple, sweet post. I so loved your sock collage! Man, and all those shawls? Getting that many out is certainly a big accomplishment.

Happy New Year Andi! It was a great year to follow and exchange with you! My resolution of the year is to continue to be happy ;-) xxx

Happy New Year! Wowza, that's quite the impressive list of beautiful projects. Congratulations.
New Year's resolutions: my output has to exceed my consumption of yarn (it was the other way round this year and I am running out of storage space! ;o)

I think I get a dopamine rush when I see that many pairs of hand knitted socks together. Yum!
