I counted up all of the knitted projects I’ve done this year (46.5) and counted up how many stitches I’ve knit, 80,000.
Most of them were all small projects but you know, last year I
knitted maybe 8 things. This is a big deal to me and I hope to double
that amount by the end of the year, that’d be amazing. I still need to
knit my first sweater (one for Royce not me), pair of socks, and shawl. Those are the big items.
I’ve also seen vast improvements in my knitting with how fast I go,
learned new stitch methods/patterns, and how nice it looks and that
makes me happy too. I sure fuck up a lot still but that’s because I’m
still learning, I’ll always still be learning and there will always be
people that knit better, faster, more complicated designs than me and
that’s ok too.
Knitting is great and I highly recommend it to others and when you
put it in terms of stitches and projects of how many you’ve done, you
may be surprised in your sense of accomplishment. Not many people can
say they’ve knit their own hat or scarf or socks or whatever so be proud
of what you create.
