What did you make (finish) in 2008?
Since I'm a slow knitter, I did pretty well:
17 pairs of socks.
shrug for DD#1
4 hats
1 scarf
I guess you can tell I like knitting socks!
So, YankeeMom, go ahead and wow us with your tally!

Nothing. I just took up knitting again this year. I'm very impressed with your list.

it's not that impressive ... most of it is during 'waiting' time -- long car rides; bus rides; kids' lessons; tv watching (that's probably the most time).
When I have a new technique to learn, my project can sit for a long time until I have a chance for quiet knitting time.

Heather! Wow. That's amazing!
I crocheted scarves for my girls. That's it. I was proud that I fit it in, too.

I am highly impressed. My list is not nearly as long.
I finished 2 crocheted baby afghans and some small sewing projects including valances, a knitting needle case, and crochet hook case.
I must say that I started much more than I finished.
This year will be year to finish project not start them.
I need to finish 2 crocheted afghans, 2 knitted scarves (I am very slow knitter), and some sew projects including a tote bag (all cut out and ready to be sewn) and maybe my bedroom curtains.
There are so many items that I want to make, but I need to finish before I can start new ones.Julie
