The aliens are landing

or that's what you would think looking at all my UFO's for the last 2 weeks. Admittedly most of them were very close to completion, and had been languishing at the bottom of the basket, and my casonitis had reached terminal levels. Having said that I am so proud of myself that my oldest UFO was Tomten, from June. Anything that I am certain I won't finish has been ripped, more yarn for the stash!

I have also been quite amazed at the number of projects I have knitted in this last year, for yes my friends it is 1 year this month since I became a knitting addict (in fact the bug bit on my honeymoon, weird yes, better then marriage counseling, definitely). I had learnt to knit as a kid, and tried various things ovr the years, interspersed with attempts at crochet, cross stitch and dressmaking. I have knit and finished 32 projects in this year, including;

5 adult cardigans
2 adult jumpers
12 pairs of socks
2 blankets
2 shawls
2 doily's
3 scarfs
and 2 hats

phew I'm exhausted just thinking about it! Ravelry is certainly a confidence boost when you think you don't get to do as many patterns as you would like.
