The project round-up of 2015.

Well, I was ticking along, knitting a little everyday, and honestly, until about October, I thought it would be something of a damp squib. I had felt like I'd done nowhere nearly enough, and my finished project list reflected this. Then three days after my "musings", something took hold and I became a knitting daemon and by the middle of December I was rather proud of myself. One project I really was determined to finish didn't get done, and I'm rather sad about that. But, it's a good contender for finishing in 2016 (got lots of seaming to do and it's awkward, but not impossible).

Onwards for a good chance of finishing 16 projects in 2016. As last year, I plan on finishing at least 3 long-term projects - with no pressure. I can do it, I can do it, I can do it. . . .


Well, here it is again, my completed (and not-so-completed) project lists of 2015.

Projects Started in 2015 (But not finished):

Papyrifera Shawl (I had great hopes of this being an Christmas gift, but I lost "oomph")
Feather and Fan Scarf (it was a project to use some angora wool)
I Flap My Wings and Glide Shawl
Taliesin Shawl (Granted, I started it in December 2015 - and even with the best will in the world, I couldn't finish a 1600m cabled shawl in a month.)

Projects Worked on in 2015 (but not finished):

The V-Necked Sweater (I'd hoped to get this finished in 2015, but to be honest, I lost "oomph" in October. I'm hoping this will be finished by July 2016.)
Beaded Muir Stole
Indian Shawl
Icarus Shawl
Cherry Leaf Shawl
Saroyan #2
More-Than-a-Triangle-Shawl

Luna Flickering Flames Skirt
4-stitch Scarf (it used to be "3-Stitch Scarf")
Construction of the Cotton Square Blanket

Projects I'm hoping to Start in 2016 (provided I finish other projects) I have both the yarn and the pattern for each project:

Sagrantino Shawl
Hemlock Ring Blanket
Ecotone Shawl or Mariposa Shawl (I love both shawls but even after months of trying to decide, I just don't know which one to knit with the yarn I have designated - I guess I'll have to swatch both and see. *sigh*)
2-Colour Under Dutch Skies Brioche Shawl (This is also my "learning new knitting technique" project for 2016, as I haven't yet done Brioche Stitch in any form at all)
Leftie Shawlette
Semele Shawl
Igneous Stole
Storm Cloud Shawl/Shawlette
Holden Shawl #2
A Cardigan for My Father (I forgot the name of the pattern. Oops.)
A Diagonal Blanket #2 for my father, smaller than the first one.

As always, I've got to go knit.
ONWARDS!!!!

Later
