2007 recap
Let's rewind a bit to December 29, 2006.
These were my goals for 2007:
1. I will knit at least one pair of socks a month - I did knit at least a pair a month. I even knit 17 pairs plus 3 single socks
2. I will learn to Fair-Isle. To start I will make the Fake Isle hat from MagKnits - I knit both the Fake Isle hat and the Center Square hat
3. I will knit myself some lace, starting with Bejeweled and working myself up to something more difficult - I did knit Bejeweled and have just started a slightly more difficult lace pattern with the Comfort Shawl
4. I will knit myself a sweater, perhaps starting with Klaralund, perhaps starting with the Hourglass sweater - I did not knit Klaralund but did knit the Hourglass Sweater. I also knit the now unwearable Fitted Tank. I have started another sweater, the Tree Jacket from ZephyrStyle
5. I also want to knit gloves, mittens and wrist-warmers - I did not knit any
6. I will find patterns for the less than 100yds balls of yarn in the stash - I did not
Tomorrow, my goals for 2008

What a great knitting year you had. I am amazed that you knit 17+ pairs of socks! That's very impressive!

You're very welcome!! Darn bloglines anyway.
Wow, you accomplished a lot in 2007! Have you checked out either of the One-Skein Wonders books? The patterns are actually for single skeins of yarn and many are really cute.

That's much better than most people have done on their resolutions!

I'm using Google Reader and it seems to be picking up the feed fine.
Great accomplishments over the last year. Looking forward to seeing the list for '08.

Happy New Year Valerie! I've been away from blogland for awhile, but I'm back trying to catch up. Congratulations on achieving so many of your knitting goals!
I know I'm late with this, but I wanted to say that I'm very sorry to hear about your Grandmother. Losing those we love is never easy.

You were so busy in 2007 and it looks like you hit a lot of your goals! I hope 2008 is just as great. ;)
