There’s nothing like a bout of food poisoning to justify stuffing around on the web all morning. I just added a list of FOs for 2006 to the sidebar. Now I’m analyzing the contents:

I knit four garments: the Summer Stripe Top, the Thneed (which I gave to someone it suited much better than me), the Liquorish Allsorts Jumper (for my Dad) and the Squares Jacket. I should have the Zhivago Top finished by the end of the year, too. And maybe a vest, if I’m lucky. So far the Squares Jacket is the most successful. I’ve worn it so much it’s already pilling. But Dad was pretty pleased with his jumper, too.

Accessories? I knit two scarves and wove three. I gave away the woven ones. I knit one beanie for me and one for my Dad, and crocheted a headband.

Of what could be called ‘homewares’, I wove a blanket, my first large weaving project. I knit my first dishcloth and some Baby Wash Gloves for friends. Both dishcloths I knit wore out in a few weeks.

I knit twelve pairs of socks! I haven’t included the chocolate socks because I haven’t finished an actual pair yet, but they should be done by the end of the year. Four on that list were gifts – and two of those were fast 8ply socks. Most fancy sock: definitely Pomatomus. Most hated pattern: Jaywalker. Coolest yarn: Mega Boot Stretch (with the stripy Yarnivorous yarn coming in a close second).

Lol! I should have a FOs of 2006 Awards Ceremony. What categories could I make up? Most successful project? Most challenging pattern? Most annoying pattern? Best yarn used?

Any suggestions?
