Twelve months of Knitting (2015)

I started the blog a year ago aiming at finishing more projects by having a monthly focus; my “Almanac”. I never expected blogging to be such an inspiration! My biggest reward has been the comments and interest from all of you who has stumbled over the blog and spent time visiting my posts. Thank you all so much!!! Here is the monthly achievements:

And to be honest; I have never finished so many projects in a year… I only have one unfinished project left (my big blanket of leaves; half finished but in progress). It has been above all expectations, and I am now considering to continue my “Almanac” project into 2016!

Happy new year to everyone and thank you for nice words and encouragement through 2015!
