Favourite Projects of 2013

I like looking back at what I've achieved at the end of a year. Whether that's personal reflections or memories that I've made or physical items that I have created. I like seeing how my crafting skills have developed over the year, looking at the type of projects I've made and remembering how pleased I was with them, and still am.

I played around on a mosaic maker and made this



Lots of bright colours in there, a mixure of knitting and crochet projects. Some lace shawls I thoroughly enjoyed knitting, 3 out of the 4 MKAL's I've joined in with this year (and the fourth is only missing because I was trying to pick only my absolute favourites).

Several projects I was really proud of knitting' the red lace shawl on the left, and my technically unfinished colourwork cardigan in the bottom right corner, and crocheting; the colourful flower cushion in the top row.

I've been thinking about what projects I'd like to knit in the next year. I'm writing down a vague list, not that many firm ideas about individual patterns, more an idea of making a style of project, like a cardigan for me, a jumper for Mr Soaring Sheep, a blanket or two and of course a few more shawls and pairs of socks ;-) I guess that will be a whole other post in itself though so I'll leave it here for now.

Thank you to everyone who has been following my blog, both newer readers and not so new ones. It really means a lot to me that there are people who (apparently!) enjoy visiting my little corner of the internet. And for everyone whose commented on my blog, thank you especially. Comments really make my day, I love the knitting/crochet/craft-loving community!

Not sure if I'll be posting again before Christmas, depends if I can find some time to take photos of Mr Soaring Sheep's secret present. In case I can't, I'd like to wish everyone a Happy Christmas :-)
