The Year That Was 2011

Time for another year-end roundup.  I've been waiting until the very end of this year to post it, because there are a bunch of projects that were either recently finished and not yet posted/photographed, or that were almost finished so I wanted to wait and see if they'd make it in.  And they did!  I finally finished my Versaille Shell, languishing for far too long, and I whipped up the Grey Loop in only a few days.

This could really use some better blocking.  I did a lazy, quick, wet-it-down-and-lay-it-out-flat blocking -- no measuring, no pins.  It fits ok, but would probably look a lot better after a proper blocking.

I love the Grey Loop.  Love it.  This is Classic Elite Wool Bam Boo, which has a very smooth hand and a nice drape, but I can imagine a really delicious version in a bulkier, loftier yarn too.

Now on to the roundup!  In 2011, I finished:

5.5 pairs of socks

2 toddler sweaters and 1 baby sweater

(I never got a picture of the baby sweater after I finished it)

2 adult sweaters

1 cowl and 1 pair of gloves

 

1 blanket

and 1 little elephant 

And some sewing:

1 baby quilt and 1 flannel rag quilt

 

and 2 matching toddler shirts
