Late Recap - 2019 in Knitting
Wow, I'm late with this. I made 8 things (nine if the pillows count as two) in 2019. I'd estimated I'd finish ten projects this year, which I didn't. That doesn't bother me. I knit almost every day. Eventually, I finish things.
I'm happy with all these things except the Nepali Bird vest (bottom right). I hardly wear it. I bought the gray yarn before I finished growing my hair out. It's either too small, or it doesn't suit me. The color doesn't show off the birds very well (they're sort of embossed on the fabric in knit and purl stitches). I need to find a new home for it, but haven't. I hate to just give things I've made by hand to the Goodwill (actually, we usually give to St. Vincent's -- they give vouchers to newly arrived refugees). I need to think of the right person and say something like, "I've got this vest, which didn't turn out to suit me very well. I think it might look great on you." and NOT, "I've got a vest I made that I don't like. You want it?" Maybe THAT should be my goal for this year.
Lovely knitting, Pam! Those pillows are fabulous. I knit a "coins" cowl for my sister, but now I'm thinking a need a pillow (or two) in my life! I have always wanted to knit that Nepali bird vest -- but I have a feeling it looks more interesting to knit than it does to wear. (And your comment about I've-got-a-vest-I-made-that-I-don't-like-you-want-it made me laugh out loud.) XO
