I normally do a post at the end / beginning of the new year, about the number of things I have knitted, the number of kilometers I have used and so on.Here is 2016 2017 and while these metrics do interest me, I have started to doubt they have any value at all. It started with Goodreads, sending me a report to say I'd read X number of books this year. Well, yes, but what does that mean? Where they good books? Did they teach me anything? Did I enjoy them? Did I take it slowly and absorb beautiful writing, or just bomb through them while paying very little attention?
It's the same for my knitting. I'm trying to move away from my strong product focus, and enjoy the process. The question I want to be asking myself isn't "how many things did I make" but "how were the things I made in 2018?".
Well, thank you for asking. 2018 was a marvelous year, both in knitting and in life.
I made new friends, became closer with old ones, spent a month in Scotland and knit with glorious yarn all year long. I heard Kate Davies speak live and walked the West Highland way. I got extended in my job until 2020, my family is well and wrapped in woolly knitted love. A pretty good year for me. Wishing you and yours a happy new year.
