Sheep Shots: What a year!

What a year!

I've been keeping track of my yarn usage for the last 11 years. I've been posting those totals here for at least the last six. And this year is no exception. Despite my missteps of blogging, I have actually been very productive with my fiber arts:

2 adult sweaters

3 afghan squares (for my charity group)

4 bibs

29 pairs of booties

2 cat toys

17 children’s sweaters

1 Christmas stocking

9 coasters

19 cowls

13 dishcloths

3 dishtowels

5 adult hats

1 baby blanket

5 pairs of mittens

1 pillow cover

13 placemats

2 potholders

6 baby caps

1 felted purse

1 bathmat

6 scarves

1 shawl

8 tea toters

1 teddy bear sweater

6 holiday ornaments

I used a total of 34,526 yards of yarn (that’s more than 20 miles!) weighing just a hair under 33 pounds!

This is the 11^th year I am keeping track and my 4^th most productive year.

It's been a very productive year for you. I've missed your yarn countdowns.
