A bit late with the knitting round-up. Apparently 2008 was a productive year, especially for sweaters for me.
It's also the largest item I have ever knitted. Its firmly esconced in my living room where the boys snuggle under it in the early hours of the morning when they get up and make a bee-line to the cartoon channel!
I managed to knit 7 sweaters, 6 of them for me. This year's sweater haul has actually been moderately successful - with the Hourglass sweater, the Ribby Cardi, and Klaralund all getting a lot of wear. I think I like the Klaralund sweater best:
I have churned out 3 pairs of mittens, 2 scarves, and 2 neckwarmers, 14 pairs of socks, 3 pairs of slippers, and 5 hats. Special mention has to go to the 3 yoda hats I knitted from my own pattern.
Incidentally I get a disproportionate amount of traffic to the blog from people searching for knitted yoda hats. Who knew?
My favourite finished item of 2008 has to be my Lizard Ridge blanket.

I guess the truth must be that I watch an awful lot of television!

I love the Lizard Ridge.
And you should totally write up the Yoda hat pattern and publish it on Ravelry, even for free.
Lizard Ridge is such a fab pattern and yours looks great :-) You made a lot of sweaters and socks for someone who works and has kids!
Hope you are getting over this bug!
