2011, the year in review.

So, I have been a terrible blogger this year. I've been caught up in work drama, house drama and travel...and just other things. I have been knitting and spinning a lot, including completing the Tour de Fleece in the summer. So, all in all, I think I may have knit fewer items than before, but I did accomplish a goal to knit wiht my own handspun and many of the items I did knit were out of my handspun. So, here it is:

Baby Sweater - 1

Baby Hat - 2

Baby Blanket - 1

Child Mittens - 2

Child Hats - 2

Socks - 2

Scarves - 2

Gloves - 1

Fingerless Mitts - 2

Shawls - 2

Sock Monkey - 1

Favorite knit of the year - Knotty Gloves. I love, love, love them. Followed close by the Roar hats and mittens that I knit for my nephews out of my own handspun.

On the spinning front, I ended up spinning up almost 5 lbs. of fiber. Woo Hoo! Spinning included:

Breaking Black Merino - 4oz

Winterhaven Cormo - 4oz

Winterhaven Cormo/Tencel - 4oz

Dragonfly Fibers Merino - 40z

Electric Blue - 4 oz **Spindle Spun

Natural BFL - 5.9oz

Green Mystery Wool - 3 oz

Natural Alpaca - 8oz

Strawberries Merino - 4 oz

Blue Superwash - 80z

Red Superwash - 8oz

Wild Fibers Special - 2 oz

Wow! Huge improvement from 2010...minus the broken ankle too.
