I am pretty happy with all of that!  I have a couple of finishes this week as well. My June socks are done.
And my first shorty socks for me are done.  I love these - so much so I have yet to take them off since I finished them.
So that, is that.  The winds up 2016/2017. Next week I shall unveil next year's list, which is always exciting.  Can't wait to see everyone else's round up (that also finish this week).

  1. Well, golly Miss Molly.....who can even show their face after that amazing year??? You are definitely a Type A over achiever or am I just that slow? Amazing....what's truly unbelievable is that you work full-time on top of all that plus you have a family plus you do craft fairs!! Please don't tell me you also cook from scratch, garden and your house is immaculate! I must admit, I am curious how you 'do it all'? I love your sewing progress too...lovely things...when you said knickers are you now making your own underwear too? It's on my list after seeing Stitched in Sweden's go at it.
    I love those latest socks you made...awesome yarn and I cannot wait to see what you have in store for the next year!
    I guess I will need to go 'round up' the few items I finished this year...I did finish something....didn't I? I'm really not sure? Did I even make a list last year? I had so much company at that time and guess who's coming back next week....not good timing for starting YOP for me or wrapping it up but I'll muddle through or be late to the party but I will be there! You should get an award for all you accomplished and accomplished well! Here's to another great and productive year for you and hopefully me too!

  2. You did fantastic on your list this past year. You amaze me with all you get done as well as being a full time mom as well as a full time employee away from home. I know I did it too before retirement, but for the life of me can not remember how I ever managed to get any crafting done during that time. But we all managed. I really like some of the clothes patterns you showed. I love to sew but never seem to find the patterns that really speak to me. So I sew for others.
    I am so looking forward to next year's YOP. I know you will do so well again with your list. I just love seeing all the things other Yopper's have accomplished each week.

  4. You were really good this year; man, I'm impressed with those crossed out projects. The first pair of socks are in a fun colorway, kind of like those whizzing race cars you and the boys love to watch. Shortie socks are fun to knit up I think because there are faster results.

  5. I love your collage of your socks and hats. I need to learn to do that.
    I often fall in love with the latest pair of socks of my needles and they spend a few weeks on my feet before they go into rotation! Can't wait to follow your journey next yopping year.

  6. Very nice collage! So many cute pairs of socks. Don't you love pulling on a freshly knit pair of socks ;)

  7. I knew you had made lot of socks, but wow! Seeing them all there together (with other projects, too) is kind of mind-blowing. I imagine knitting to be laborious and take approximately forever, but you make it look almost effortless. Can't wait to see what you make for your next YOP year.
