I finished 4 #knitting projects this year and they are all hats; three of them this month.
I didn't finish any knitting projects in 2021 or 2020 even though I had projects going. The last time I finished a knitting project was in December 2019.

This pretty much reflects the chaos and dumpster fires that the last three years, give or take, have been.
I counted how many things I sewed this year, which were 15, give or take. Not a lot of #sewing compared to pre-2020 years.

One of my #knitting goals for 2023 is to learn to knit brioche. The other is to finish my three long-term works in progress, which are a sweater and two scarfs.

Last night I was #knitting this hat in the living room and tried it on to see if it was long enough. Immediately my husband said “it looks like Sulley!” from Monsters Inc. and now I can’t I unsee it.

Next time someone claims that politics has no place in #knitting, show them this fantastic video about wartime knitting.

Doing the handsewing portions of the wool cape I’ve been working on. (The second photo is the model photo of the cape pattern).

#histodons, I think we need to bring #craftstorians and maybe even #bakestorians to Mastodon. I tried to make the latter happen on the bird site but no long, but #craftstorians has some pretty neat projects.

Where are all the crafty historians???

I was going to procrastinate on finishing my cape coat by knitting a hat. But then I realized all my knitting project bags are being used and now I'm going to have to make a project bag before I start knitting the hat to procrastinate on finishing the cape coat.

Wearing chunky handknits today because it’s damned cold outside.

I've been itching to start a new knitting project for a while but I have three projects on needles that I haven't worked on in like a year.
I DO NOT need to start another project but the yarn is calling and I think I have to answer.
