We finally come out of lockdown on Friday 2nd December. By this time we will have been in lockdown for 107 days. We are nearly at 90% full vaccinated. However now there is a new variant Omicron to worry about. So 2022 may not be any better.
Onto fun things.
I finished a pair of shortie vanilla socks.
Love the colours. Also on my needles, but too lazy to take photos, are Suokatu - should finish them tomorrow. A Soldotna in fingering that I want to make long sleeves, and a Ranunculus, fingering held with mohair.
I am preparing for 1st December as I have 2 advents to open. With one I am going to make a Juxtaposition from Strands of Joy, using a grey as the MC and the advent from Yarntherapy for the colourwork. For the Louie and Lola advent I was going to make the bubble cardigan by Stephen West, but have changed my mind and will make the stripes jumper by Andrea Mowrey instead.
I've realised there are a couple of finishes I haven't shared. This Eddie Beanie in bulky yarn from Nanacindy
And these socks, Dear Bjorn from 52 weeks of socks in yarn I dyed myself
Looking back over the last 12 months I have made:
Socks = 12 pairs, including 2 from 52 weeks of socks
Shawls = 4, including 2 from 52 weeks of shawls
Hats = 3, including 1 from Strands of Joy
Cowl = 1
Mitts = 1
Toy - 1
Cardi - 2, both from Strands of Joy
Short sleeve t's/jumpers = 4
Sweaters = 1
Throw = 1
Dishcloths = 2
That is 32 items, or 2 1/2 items per month.
Looking ahead to 2023, I'm not going to specify too much as new patterns come out all the time that I want to make more than what I have queued However I do want to try a brioche garment. First of I'll do a brioche hat that is in a Pompom magazine I have. If that works out OK, I'd like to try the Broadleaf sweater.
So lockdown haul has continued to be made. Since my last post the following have arrived
Treated myself to a project bag. Even though I'm perfectly capable of making my own!.
