2024: A Year in Stats

I sat down and updated my Ravelry account to wrap up my 2024 items and I decided to crunch some stats on what I did last year.

  • I finished 51 projects that totaled 13,962 yards of yarn used up
  • I purchased 84.5 skeins of yarn that totaled 16,566 yards of yarn brought in
  • I made 41 completed hats that represented the bulk of my knitting this year
  • I purchased 10 new bats or braids of fiber this year
  • I finished 5 skeins of handspun
    • Tallied a total of 1,429 points for the 2024 Pigksin Party KAL
    • Attended three in person knitting events or retreats

So all in all, a very productive year for me. I really felt my knitting mojo coming back after I changed my work situation. I did bring in more yarn that I used up but only by 2,600 yards so that isn’t so bad. I’m really showing my inner accountant with this post, lol.

I don’t really feel like setting any goals for 2025 and letting the fiber guide me! Happy New Year!!

Planning The New Year

I normally use a Knitters Planner but they had production problems for 2024 and so I used a Shutterfly coupon to make my own planner. I have to fill in my own months and other data inputs but it does mean I can customize to my needs.

I did a WIP run down and purged a few things but also made a list of everything on my needles. I need to get my Mom’s shawl past the cast on. I feel like if I can get into the repetitions of the body that I will feel more inclined to pick it up.

Otherwise I feel like hats and socks will continue to hold my attention! Happy New Year and Happy Knitting!!
