I have no idea where the time goes. It feels like just yesterday we were drunk in Andrea’s basement or in a converted barn in Tivoli filled with pictures of vaginas.

It’s been a hell of a year for us at Social Knitworking. There were epic road trips, knitting retreats, new jobs, moves, relationship changes, unemployment, and more, all the with knitting holding us together. I feel like I’ve just written a blurb for a crappy chick lit novel, but it’s true.

I’ve had a couple of great knitting successes this year. I finally knit a sweater that I love. It was my House Colors project for Rhinebeck this year, Pioneer in orange Silky Wool. I also knit a lovely scarf for my significant other, the Stained Glass Scarf from Handknit Holidays.

My half success was completing one sock out of a pair of Galadriel. Perhaps for 2012 I’ll aim to finish the second sock. Also plugging along is my Blankie. It’s cozy to knit now, keeping my lap warm as I knit.

We’ve started our 2012 knit planning. I have the aforesaid sock to finish. (The heel has turned, all that’s left is the endless lacy leg.) Jenn and I are planning a Tangled Yoke Cardigan knit-along starting in February. There’s The Blankie to work on and I’d love to add to my basket of weird knitted creatures.

What are your knitting stories of 2011 and your plans for 2012?
