Knit Lit has started up a Best of 2007 meme for knitters.
Here’s mine:
1. your best FO of the year
My best FO is my Rusted Root Sweater. It’s technically done, but I’m still planning on frogging the collar and doing it a different way so it doesn’t fold over funny. Still it’s my first sweater. Yay!
2. best FO of the year made by a blog you link to
Well I read a lot more in bloglines than are actually linked to here. I should add those. So I’m going off that instead. Anyway I adored Brooklyn Tweed’s Hemlock Ring Blanket. In fact I’m 95% done with mine. I’ll finish it as soon as my new christmas present ball winder arrives.
3. best yarn you tried
Malabrigo Chunky – it’s pretty, squishy, soft and knits up quick. I love it!
4. best new book/mag/pattern of 2007
5. best new knitting technique or gadget you tried in 2007
Ravelry is a gadget, right?
6. top 5 inspirations–what five things inspired you the most over the past year?
- Ravelry friends
- Ravelry people
- Ravelry patterns
- My Knitting/Crochet Blogs delivered via RSS
- Interweave Knits
7. designer who most amazed & inspired you throughout the year
Zephyr Style - These ladies manage to create designs that are very hip and quick to knit. There’s nothing worse than a pattern that takes so long to knit that by the time you’re done it’s out of style. Plus I’d wear any of their designs.
8. knitting resolutions for 2008–what’s next for you and your blog?
- to knit myself a sweater
- to not buy anymore yarn
- to start spinning again
- to change the decor in this joint
- to teach Caitlin how to knit armwarmers
- to finish that sweater for Vanessa
