This time last year, with a paltry eleven FO’s for 2007, I made the following statement regarding goals for 2008–
I have no knitting goals for 2008. Well, actually, I have one–a combined knitting, spinning, exercise, weight loss, health, decluttering, and everything else goal–to get a goddamn divorce already. That would be nice.
Not only did said divorce (finally) come through, but I also managed to start knitting and spinning again. Even better, I met a terrific guy that is making 2009 even better than I hoped. Lucky, lucky me.
So, with minimum hoopla, I present the FO’s of 2008, in all their glory:

You did a TON of beautiful spinning! And I love your beaded bags (including your new one on Ravelry).

Posted 15 Jan 2009 at 2:59 pm ¶Lovely things, but what are you going to do with all those poor lonely socks?
Posted 15 Jan 2009 at 3:47 pm ¶Nice. I can’t help noticing how the year’s projects started out, for the most part, fairly neutral and colorless. As the year progressed, you got your damn divorce already, and things started looking up and brighter, color worked itself into your projects in a serious way! Knitting psychology? Therapy, for sure.

Posted 15 Jan 2009 at 5:45 pm ¶You had a really productive year!
Posted 15 Jan 2009 at 8:24 pm ¶Looks like 2008 was a great year for you. So glad things are going so well. Happy New Year!
Posted 15 Jan 2009 at 9:30 pm ¶Wahooo! glad the new one is happy-making!
Posted 16 Jan 2009 at 12:22 am ¶hugs, chica.
Very pretty things!
Posted 16 Jan 2009 at 1:41 pm ¶Fantastic. You had the spinning, the knitting, the new patterns AND the guy.
Let the good times continue.
Posted 16 Jan 2009 at 9:19 pm ¶So beautiful. I love the shawl, your scarf, and the beaded bags. I have yet to care about socks, but yours are beautiful.
Some day I will knit good. Today is not that day.
Some day I will learn to spin, since real spinners will not consent to knit my beautiful maddie’s hair for me. Maddie is my old dog whose days are numbered, but whose beautiful coat must be preserved in something. So I am saving her shedding for that day.
