Another year has passed, and as usual my knitting goals greatly exceeded my knitting capacity! Still, let's take a look at how I did:
Ten for 2010
- steeking - no
- entrelac - no
- granny square afghan - yes, but still in progress
- line a bag - no
- top down raglan - no
- moebius - no
- knit with own dyed yarn - no
- more complex sock - no
- complex cable -dipped a toe in the water here, taking a short class with Alice
- Starmore
- slip stitch item - yes
- use of blocking wires - no
- cable twist stitches - yes, Elsica
- soft toy - either knit or crochet - yes, but still in progress
- cabling without a cable needle - yes Elsica
- inserting a zip into a knitted item - no
- kidsilk haze project - no
- brioche stitch - no
So if we count the WIPs, I managed five. Not great, but five more techniques than I had tried this time last year. I'm still interested in most of the list, so although it won't be a formal challenge this year, I'm going to try and hit a few more.
And the 100 balls challenge?
BSJ - 3 balls
hat for brother - 3 balls
lightweight autumn scarf - 2 balls
calorimetry - 1 ball
charity hats - 7 balls
charity neckwarmer - 2 balls
ruffle scarves - 2 balls
weekender beret - 1 ball
green lovely lid - 1 ball
scallop - not sure, say 10
Hmm, only 32 balls - yet again, good progress with small projects, but not with sweaters. The one project I was really happy to finish was the scallop sweater for my sister. She was very pleased with it, and looks great in it. I'm also happy that I did some charity knitting this year and got more crochet practise.
