Tallies.

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.
