\nConsidering I had almost three months off knitting, I’m fairly pleased with managing to complete 11 projects.\u00a0 3 of the completed items were started in 2015, the others are all from 2016.<\/li>\n
\nStill not quite managed this, but I’m including my mittens from unspun mawata in this category.<\/li>\n
\nI have watched a few more of them, but still could do better. At least I haven’t bought many this year!<\/li>\n
\nStill not learned Brioche.
\nI did spend a week learning inkle weaving, so I’m ticking this category
\nI also learnt to knit backwards<\/li>\n
\nHad a go at spindle-spinning silk tops
\nI’m pretty bad at keeping records of spinning. I have done some more spinning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Here’s the gallery of finished items: 6 pairs of socks, 2 pairs of mittens, a shawl, a blanket and a toy.<\/p>\n
