2024 wrapup

a mosaic of 16 knitting projects that I completed in 2024

These are the 16 projects that I completed in 2024. A couple aren’t published yet, but there’s a lot of duplication this year! I see Prosecco Pop and Bellini Bubbles, Fuzzy Memories in Cabrito, two Emotional Support Chickens, 4 (!) versions of Trailing Leaves while I was trying to get it just right, Peekaboo Cowl, Peekaboo Shawlette (coming soon), Starstruck Shawlette (also coming soon), 3 out of a whole bunch of korknisse that I knit this past week, and a Minerva entrelac scarf that is just off the needles.

I see assigned pooling, brioche, and assigned pooling + brioche. You know my favorite techniques! And Minerva, because party trick knitting is my favorite.

Many thanks to my sister Sharon, who is a fabulous model! And I even modeled my Peekaboo Cowl myself, via selfie.

Here’s what Top Nine says were my top nine Instagram posts in 2024. I see 3 Emotional Support Chicken posts, assigned pooling yarn and Bellini Bubbles (green shawlette in progress), Whale Conga Line, Rabbit Hole Knits’ knitted Victorian housecats at VKLive NYC, Olle Bolle (a Thomas Dambo troll), and my Apple watch mistaking my yarn winding for an elliptical workout. Ha!

Wishing you a very happy new year, with lots of knitting fun to come in 2025.

You can check yours out at TopNine. Interestingly, it’s a collection of photos rather than a collage, so you’d need to take a screenshot because it’s nine individual pictures. I also tried BestNine, but it never finished gathering.

Happy new year!
