Knitter in Progress

Year in Review 2010 1. your best FO of the year: Based on the tenacity it took to master the pattern, I would say my Skew socks are my best FO of the year. 2. best FO of the year made by a blog you link to: I have not really been reading as many blogs but there are plenty of FO on Ravelry that I have liked this year. 3. best yarn you tried: No new yarn for me this year--I stuck with my old stand bys. 4. best book/mag/pattern of 2010: Book: I have to say that, for me, Aran Knitting was my favorite release of 2010 in the knitting category. I also loved Amy Butler's Style Stitches so much that it motivated me to buy a sewing machine. Magazine: Oxygen is still my favorite magazine--I look forward to reading it every month. As for knitting, I have found myself buying Vogue knitting more and more and disliking Interweave Knits more and more.

I made this pair of socks for my Grandmother to keep her toes warm this winter :) Stats: Needles--sz. 2, magic loop Yarn--Online sock Pattern--Classic Beginnings Socks for the Family I am almost 100% positive that this will be my last finish for 2010 unless I have a major knitting binge in the next few days. I am going to be making a blanket square with the leftovers--that "may" get done before the end of the year if I actually have time to sit and knit. And totally off topic but has anyone ever checked out this blog, And Then She Saved ? I saw a news feature on it a few days ago and I think it's a brilliant idea although I don't think I could go as spartan as she did.

. . . and to all a good night! Happy Holidays and Blessings for the New Year :)
