As we move onward to 2024, I usually take a look at the knitting projects I have completed over the last twelve months. I find the list at Ravelry, where I post all my knitting works. They can be found in my notebook, projects and challenge. Each year we can set a challenge number of knits we’d like to accomplish. I did not pick a number, but ended up doing 9 complete knits. This is not a bad number considering eight of them were sweaters!
Finished Knitting Projects of 2023
This list contains links to my blog page for each project. There you will find a link to the designer’s pattern page. Stars next to the pattern indicate something I enjoyed and would recommend.
- January – *Goldenfern sweater pattern by Jennifer Steingass. A pretty colorwork pullover knit using fingering weight yarn.
- February – *Arco Iris, V-neck pullover with short sleeves by Joji Locatelli. Good pattern, bad choice of yarn for me.
- March – Easy V, pullover with colorwork yoke by Caitlin Hunter.
- March – Joker pullover for my son. Knit in bulky Alafosslopi yarn. This is when I discovered that colorwork is not fun using bulky yarn!
- May – Blue *Cobblestone Cardigan, my second one with changes made.
- July – *Lakeland Tee, by Heidi Kirrmaier was knit as a summer top. It’s a great pattern, I just didn’t like choice of yarn.
- August – *Blueberry Vodka Lemonade, by Thea Colman is a boatneck, 3/4 sleeve top knit in fingering weight yarn.
- October – *Eva Cardigan, by Petite Knit is an oversize sweater with a v-neck and wide button band. I had trouble getting gauge, but finished up nicely.
- November – * Aran Watch Cap, by Charlene Schurch with cables and folded brim.
Of the nine knitting projects listed above, I was happy with most of them once they were finished. The Easy V sweater was a complete fail for me. It has a very wide, loose neck which makes the whole thing hang horribly. The bulky knit Joker sweater was a fine pattern, but tough colorwork to accomplish. In fact, I gave up after a few rows!
I already have four new sweater patterns chosen to knit in the New Year and I’m excited to get started! What are you planning to knit in 2024?
Thank you for reading …
