Here is my last finished object for 2010, a handspun handknit hat. The yarn is a 2-ply I spun from one of my Art Club Batts. I used the toque-shaped hat pattern from Anna Zilboorg's 45 Fanciful Hats and sizes 7 and 5 Addi Turbo needles with the Magic Loop for the crown. The braid on the edge and at the crown was completed by working from the other end of my yarn as two strands are needed to knit it.
I took a look through my Completed Projects blogs to gather my stats for the year. I did not blog about every completed project as sometimes I inadvertently sent a project off before I photographed it. So here is the tally for 2010: 12 pairs of socks, 12 hats (two handspun), 2 sweaters, 4 shawls (one handspun), 3 scarves, 3 pairs of mittens, 2 pairs of mitts, and one handspun and felted bowl.
I hope everyone is having a Happy New Year.
Beautiful hat! Your spinning really makes it.
I am in awe by how productive you are. I know I don't get nearly as much done.
