Woot! W00t! 😀
My Blog is 2 years old today. I can’t believe that I have kept this going for so long.
It has been a real pleasure, mainly because of all you readers dropping by and spurring me on!
Thank you Readers!! I hope I’ve brightened your day too.
I’ve just had a look at my Blogiversay post from last year. I did a summary of the year’s knitting for you then so I think I should carry on that tradition…
In the last year I have Blogged 28 Projects. Returned to full time work, had my name in print, seen the Yarn Harlot in person, confessed my Cracksilk Haze addiction and started a consumer buying frenzy on a mug in Sainsburys.
Here’s how the knitting breaks down…
*If you want to look up any of these projects, enter the name in the search box, top right of the blog*
4 Pre Blog Knitting Projects (I thought I’d blogged more??):-
- Sorrell
- Serge
- First Hildegard
- Electra
1 Project revamped with dying experiments:-
- Lavender
1 Ghastly acrylic neon jumper, sewn up for my sister (!)
- Charity jumper “for the little children”
And a massive 22 projects knit this year!
- Top Secret
- Stripey Socks
- Emily
- So Called Scarf
- Hedera socks
- Ben’s Geeky PDA cosy
- Haven Scarf
- Geno
- Frappe
- Lynton Giotto Vest
- Dinny
- Cursed Socks
- Silk Hildegard
- Bowie for Ben
- Bowie for Steve
- Snuzzle Scarf for me
- Snuzzle Scarf for Carol
- Branwen
- Earth Stripe Wrap
- Petal Bib
- Glace
- and 10 little Innocent Smoothie Hats!
I also should mention that I frogged two previously completed garments:-
- Keats
- Judie Jacket
Does that make it 30 blogged projects?
Not a bad haul, especially considering that I started back at full time work in August! Hmmm…when you look at what I made though there are more small items in that list – it breaks down like this:-
- 3 pairs of socks
- 4 scarves
- a wrap
- 3 cardigans
- 7 jumpers
- 1 summer vest
- and 3 accessories/little silly things
Of course, we had a bottle of champagne to celebrate and thank my hardworking “staff” who often model and feature in my blog.
There’s always one staff member at the party who can’t take their drink and slumps in the corner isn’t there??
This staff member deserves a price for “best in show”…
Happy blogiversary to you!
Congratulations! It’s only a matter of time before Hallmark create cards to celebrate this sort of occasion.
I’m a pretty new knitter/reader and really enjoy your blog.
May you have a similarly fruitful 2009!
Happy blogiversary to you! And many of them… I think that Yarnlot is wrong about the Best in Show, as there would be competition for that position 🙂
