7 years of blogging my knitting adventures – that’s quite a long time.
There have been times I’ve thought about stopping blogging but my lovely readers keep me coming back for just one more post – Thank you all for visiting 😀
The big non-knitting events of the year were my work trip to New York, having my bathrooms refitted (at last) and getting the adorable Purcey 😀
As is my Blogiversary tradition, I’ll give you my summary of 2013…
So lets look at my blog post rate, especially as my 2012 rate was down and I promised to do better….
- 2013 – 35 Blog posts
- 2012 – 26 Blog Posts
- 2011 – 30 Blog Posts
- 2010 – 36 Blog Posts
- 2009 – 35 Blog Posts
- 2008 – 69 Blog Posts
- 2007 – 87 Blog Posts
Oh!! 35 is rather good – around 3 posts a month on average 🙂 Lets see if I can keep it up next year.
But what did I knit? Was it challenging? Did you gasp in amazement?
Here’s the summary – Click the name of the garment to be taken to the Completed Knit Report – Enjoy 😀

I hope you’ve enjoyed the year with me and will join me for another year of knitting adventure and misadventure 🙂
Congratulations Susan, seven years of blogging is quite an achievement! I am looking forward to reading more about your knitting conquests, your battle with KSH addiction and of course, tales of your beautiful cats! Flo waves a paw and sends a cheek rub to Purcey and the girls!
Congratulations from me too! I’m a relative new comer to your blog and enjoy reading your posts, so hopefully they will continue into another year.
Wow, 7 years of blogging. That is impressive. I know what an endeavour it can be to blog all the time, and I quite often let it slide for weeks at a time. You were one of the first bloggers I read, when I started over 5 years ago, thank you for inspiring me to join the blogging community, it has been a sanity saver. Your projects are gorgeous and I love to see them (and photos of Purcey!). Thank for posting just once more (each time).
Congrats! As a new knitter, I am so happy to have found your blog. I love your posts and your projects are of course amazing!! Wishing you many more years of delivery valuable content and commentary. All the best to you!!
Love your blog and projects and will definitely keep reading as long as you keep blogging – don’t stop! Also loved your video last year, it was so nice to watch and very much admired your stash organisation!
Congratulations on the blogiversary. I’ve enjoyed several of your posts, so glad you have decided to continue blogging.
Well done! It’s always a pleasure to read your adventures in knittery. Long may they continue.
Congrats Susan. I love reading your blog. You are such a fantastic knitter. Looking forward to seeing your finished projects in 2014!
