It was a productive year. Successfully finished several WIPS, as well as some new ones. Please note I'm no longer posting pictures on my blog. Each project listed below is a link to my Ravelry project page.
The end of this list includes projects I forgot to post in 2017.
Holidays Gift Giving
Antler Hat - A free hat pattern on Ravelry by Tincan knits. I used Tosh Vintage for both of them, since it provides really good stitch definition for the cables. Knitted up 2 of them for holiday gift giving.
Foxy Hat - another Top This Hat, but added some Ella Rae Cozy Soft Chunky to make it a bit larger and more interesting.
Tied Knots Hat - a free pattern by Justyna Lorkowska. Multiple cables. Used Zen Garden Serenity DK, and added a pom pom.
Selkie Hat - from Woolly Wormhead. Yarn Malabrigo Rios and MollyGirl Rock Star.
Tide Point Hat - This pattern was a special kit from Neighborhood Fiber Co, Accessory Club. Yarn was a limited edition, Neighborhood Fiber Cable Car DK.
Neon Hufa Hat - pattern is by Christine Chochoy. Found it on Lopi's website. Made with Ístex Alafosslopi, brought directly from Iceland as gift from my niece. Appropriately, made her a hat, and also made myself one.
Foxy Mittens - called Pair of Fox's Mittens by Aunt Janet's Designs. Found this on Ravelry to go with the Foxy Hat. Used my stash yarn (Cascade 220 Superwash).
Clary Mitts - Fingerless mitts by Sara Gresbach on Ravelry. Used Oink Worsted. This went with the Tied Knots Hat.
Mayura Cowl and Mitts - a Neighborhood Fiber Co, kit that I picked up at their store, while traveling through Baltimore. Pattern is by Barbara Gregory, and can be found on Ravelry. Yarn is Neighborhood Fibers Studio DK.
Oriental Lily Dress - a free pattern on Ravelry by Georgie Nicolson. Used Zen Garden Serenity DK, and Wonderland Yarns Mad Hatter. A request from my great-niece over a year ago, and finally got around to it, beginning in June of last year.
Degraw Shawl - from Malbrigo Book 13. Used some of my Susan Nadelson hand spun yarn. Earth tones. Perfect for my mother-in-law.
Other Hats
2-Color Hats - found on Ravelry by Mary Kate Long. Used Kenzie yarn by Hikoo. The perfect color for my winter parker.

Vests & Sweaters
Kiss of North Vest - Designed by Melissa Schaschwary, pattern is free on Ravelry. Yarn is a discontinued one from my stash (Alpaca with a Twist Highlander). Began this project in conjunction with a student who was making her first garment. Of course, she finished it way before me!
Cassis Cardigan - designed by Thea Coleman, and found on Ravelry. A great top down easy cardigan with some lace detail. Used MollyGirl Rock Star Worsted in the Jersey Girl colorway.
So Faded pullover - designed by Andrea Mowry, and found on Ravelry. Was intending to use a my stash fingering weight, but ended up using only 2 of the 5 colors needed for the fade.
Ponchos, Shawls, Scarves & Cowls
Noro Blanket Poncho - pattern in Noro Summer 2016 magazine.Yarn is Taiyo Worsted. This had been on my needles for a while. Made a mistake n the 2nd half of the project, and had to rip it back. Put it aside for a while, and then picked it up this past summer to finish. The yarn was originally slated for a blanket, but decided on the poncho when the magazine was published.
Seasons Poncho - pattern and yarn by Dan Doh (Yumiko Alexander). Purchased at TNNA directly from her. Love this!!
Two Harbors Poncho - designed by Sarah Smuland. Yarn is Blue Sky Fibers Extra. Saw the sample at TNNA, tried it on and decided to make it. Easy knit.
Aranami Shawl - designed by Olga Buraya-Kefelian. The yarn was re-purposed from other projects I had planned, but changed my mind. Koigu KPM, Baah La Jolla, Marianated Scrumptious HT.
Local Yarn Shawl - designed by Casapinka, and was free on Local Yarn Store Day (coincided with the NJ Wool Walk 2018). Used Hypnotic fingering yarn, and Groovy Hues Sock, both purchased at The Yarn Attic on the Wool Walk.
Pebble Beach Shawlette - designed by Helen Stewart. Yarn is Cascade Heritage Wave. The pattern nicely shows off the gradient in the yarn. I saw this at the Knitting Garage in Rhinebeck NY, and purchased the yarn there.
Simee Dimeh Shawl - pattern is by Romi Hill. Yarn is from Miss Babs. Purchased this as a kit directly from Miss Babs. Colorway is Favorite Boots Sierra.
