Let's Try This Again

I see that I haven't blogged since July of 2025!  I had no idea it had been that long ago!  I vaguely thought my last blog post was sometime this past fall, but apparently not.

I don't think I have it in me to go through absolutely everything I've made since July, but I think in an effort to start somewhere, anywhere, I will quickly sum up last year's makes.

  • I crocheted one cardigan.
  • I knitted two shawls (Technically one of those was begun in 2024 and finished in 2025, but that meant it was put in the 2025 list of finished things so I'm counting it here.  My list, my rules.) 
  • I finished a knitted pullover that was also started in 2024. 
  • I knitted nine pairs of socks. 
  • I sewed eight tops.
  • I sewed two skirts.

Here is a photo of the very last socks I finished this past year, just to make the post a little more interesting:

Hermione’s gingerbread cookies

These are the Hermione's Everyday Sock pattern, knit in Potions and Purls Luna Sock in the Gingerbread Cookie colorway.  If you've never knit this pattern before, I highly recommend it for a simple, easily memorized design, perfect for sock knitting in public or while watching TV.  I've found I need this type of pattern (easy to memorize and knit on autopilot) to watch Texas A&M football and Formula 1 racing. 

We are currently out of season for both sports right now, so while I have a new pair of socks on the needles (I'll show you current projects in future blog posts), I'm mainly focused on finishing some Works in Progress right now.

We'll talk about those later, but I hope everyone had a lovely holiday season and new year, and I'm hoping to get back to more regular blogging as we move forward!
