Several of the blogs that I read have a year end review of their work, so I decided to put together what I did this year. It was fun to do, I had to do some additional photography, but I think I got all my projects included.
January
 |
| Stitch Sampler |
 |
| Shawl Sampler |
I took a class in Russian Shawl knitting and spinning. I learned to spin on a Russian spindle, knitted some beautiful pieces, and instead of knitting a shawl, bought one from the teacher!

 |
| Second warp for rugs |

| A couple that the yarn was varigated |
 | |
| and a wonderful white cloud with a pillow. |
October
 |
| I put a dummy warp |
 |
| on my Baby Wolf loom |
 |
| and just kept retying new scarfs |
 |
| in different colors |
 |
| and different yarns. |
 |
| Got another pair done at work |
 |
| Wound a space-dyed yarn to give Faux Ikat! |
 |
| Kept adding new warps |
 |
| to the dummy warp |
 |
| for a total of eleven warps. |
 |
| I usually wove two scarves |
 |
| on each warp, some were |
 |
| identical twins, some were |
 |
| fraternal twins, you can see |
 |
| some of the similarities in the |
 |
| pictures, but I finally decided |
 |
| that I had done enough scarves. |
 |
| My last pair of work socks. |
 |
| First pair of unemployment socks |
 |
| Knit some Soot Sprites...need to do more of these. |
December
 |
| 20 yards of warp yielded nine beautiful rugs from the core spun yarn. |
 |
| Finally finished the knit shawl |
 |
| A new table mat for the kitchen. |
 |
| Head band test for my sisters headband. |
 |
| Bag from a single strip of weaving. |
 |
| Loved the hat pattern, had to knit it, love the wearer, too. |
Wow, I managed to do more that I thought. Of course, not working for a couple of months gave me more time at the looms.
I don't know what the new year will bring, but happy crafting to all of us.
