I like to set goals for every year and this year I decided to try to finish more projects than the year before. I set the goal of 24 finished projects. That's two a month, which is a lot. I wanted to focus on sweaters and WIP's (which is one of the reasons I set the goal so high... I figured I would finish some older projects rather than starting a bunch of new).
Let's see how I did...
What I like to do with my year in review is to take each project, look at what I said about it when it was done, then give an update on how I feel about it after some time has passed (as that does change... and some times drastically). I'll include a photo of the project, plus a link to the blog post that gives the project stats.
First up...
The Penny Ribbi
hmmmm... never did get a good photo of this one.
Quick summery: based on a half zip pullover I saw in a JC Penny flyer. Decided to not do the half zip, I loved the colors.
Initial impression: I was very happy with it. Loved the colors, loved the fit.
Current impression: a very favorite sweater. I do wish I had done the half zip, but the style and fit are wonderful. I wear this sweater a lot (and Matt loves it too... so that I now have yarn to make him one based on a half zip we saw in an other flyer. Stay tuned for that one!)
Final thoughts: a true winner. fun to knit, great to wear.
Next up:
Cassidy
Quick summery: a wonderful hooded cardigan by Chicknits (you'll see that a lot in this year's reveiw. I used a lot of Bonne Marie's patterns... and for good reason).
Initial impression: loved the fit, the color, the style. YUM
Current impression: love the fit, the color and the style. YUM! Yes, this was a true winner. I also wear this one a lot. Not much more to say except that I will make this again in totally different yarn.
Final thoughts: I. Love. This. Sweater.
So the year started out with a bang! Two fabulous sweaters that I am loving and wearing... think that will last?
