My 2018 Yearly Recap

I have been so busy with work (and finding a new job as well as starting said new job!) that I almost forgot to do my yearly recap!  In fact, it made me realize that I haven't been knitting nearly as much as I have in the past few years. 😒😫

To reaffirm my knitting commitment, I'm not only recapping 2018, I'm also recapping 2017 (since I missed that too) as well as set some knitting goals for 2019. 

In 2017, I made:
  1. A "few" (4!) pairs of socks:
  2. A Pussy Hat & Snood
  3. A "Yarn" Lei
  4. A scarf for my best friend
  5. Two (2) skirts for my twirly whirly girls
  6. A summer market bag
  7. A hand towel for my bathroom and a replacement one
  8. A bath mat
Other things that "happened" in 2017 were:
  1. Went on a couple of yarn crawls in:
  2. (Finally) Gussied up my Field Bag so I could take it to Midway
  3. Fixed a pair of Hubby's older socks
  4. Found a harinezumi pattern that I couldn't resist!
  5. Which in turn, suckered me into picking up more stash!
Then in 2018, I made:
  1. Made my Giri no Haha socks (never again😔)
  2. Another hand towel (twice)
  3. (Of course) More socks for Hubby
  4. Actually made a pair of harinezumi for my girlies (and another pair for my newly married baby bro)
  5. A pair of house booties for my sissy
  6. Ripped out my bath mat (from 2017) and redid it
  7. Made an almost perfect yoke sweater
  8. Another baby blanket for my cousin (she needs to have two babies now and her dog doesn't count😜)
  9. A hat for Hubby
  10. A pair of kabochas as a winter gift for my friend
  11. A perfect (and super warm) sweater
  12. A pair of mittens
And ...
  1. Found this cute yarn weight chart
  2. Managed to break another needle - again
Now for my 2019 knitting resolution: I would like to:
  1. Rip out my almost perfect yoke sweater and actually make it perfect😊
  2. Make another sweater - perhaps try a simple fair isle?? or at the very least, a two (2) colour sweater; perhaps two (2) sweaters??🤔
  3. More socks!🤣
  4. And on that note - fix my Make Me Happy Socks (it's a tad too short in the foot)😒
  5. Maybe make more harinezumi for my girls (they did want glittery ones) and maybe one for our (expected) new little one??🤔😊
  6. Use more of my stash!
