YoP

The 'Year of Projects' is a blog-along Ravelry group established to run from 1st July to 30th June. Each participant publishes a list of planned projects at the start of the 'year' and then posts regular progress updates (usually on a Sunday, with a link back to individual posts on the group page). 

Some people choose random projects whilst others work their way through a book or stick to a single theme for the whole year - if you'd like to join in, please visit the group where you'll find more information and ideas.

THIS PAGE IS A SUMMARY- you can find my individual posts here and 
the posts related to each item are listed below.

STASHBUSTING 2012/13:

The goal is to use as much of my existing stash as possible, including scrap yarns, and especially these:

  • 100g/400m of superwash wool/nylon in greens/yellow 'Bouquet' from Dye Spin Knit

  • King Cole Merino Blend DK - 1 x green 50g  2 x 50g in various shades of green, 1 x 50g in purple
  • LOTS of mini-skeins which were bought for the Beekeeper's Quilt - either they need to be made into hexipuffs or something else that is suitable for lots of small quantities of 4ply/sock yarn.

YoP FINISHED OBJECTS 2011/12:

Pattern inspiration, items removed as of January 2012 and items not started by end of first YoP:




  • Chele by Emma Fassio - The pattern is lovely but wasn't working in the yarn I started it with, so with one sleeve and part of the first front completed this has gone into hibernation.
  • Fable by Jennifer Lang - it's really beautiful but I can't see me realistically wear it
  • Queenie's Lula Scarf from Natural Dye Studio - I started this in just 2 colours but it wasn't exciting me - I've bought more yarn to start again, but probably not before 30th June
  • A crochet shawl - too many other things to make so this one will be left until the Autumn
  • Birdie decoration & Christmas Baubles from Attic 24 - not made in time for Christmas 2011 so not needed before the end of the Year of Projects
  • 2 x Legwarmers - not needed, I'd rather make socks for the kids instead
  • Hudson Hat from Family Roots Fibres
  • Sunny Spread
  • Sweet Pea Shawl from Amie Hirtes (in The Happy Hooker)
  • Fingerless Mittens by Kimberley Gintar
  • Kids Cowl by Jennifer Cole
