Clickerty Click go the Knitting Needles

 Let's look back on how I've got on with knitting projects this year.  I'm not a fast knitter, by any means, and tend to do my knitting in the evenings.

In March  I completed three knitted blankets for the SPCA, for cats and kittens in their care.  The nice thing is that each cat and kitten receives their very own little blanket to take it home once they are adopted to help with the transition.  This was organised by the Knit World shops, and each year they choose a new  charity to support, with their customers only too happy to help.  The shop was selling the selected yarn at a very reasonable price, so I decided to buy three balls.

Then in April I decided to knit one for Gemma, using up two balls of cotton yarn I had.  I made it to go into the cat tower, she likes to snooze in the middle section, it's hard to see her when she is tucked nice and cozy in her tower.

I had a knitting finish in July, a cream toddler's jumper which had been started by my friend Eileen many years ago.  She was happy to pass it on to me to finish, and to be donated to a good cause.  This is a nice pattern, and I think I'll knit it again sometime soon.

In September I completed another  little baby's jumper, using acrylic yarn I had purchased from the Op Shop, very pretty yarn at a good price too.  I love how it turned out.

Plus I knitted five pairs of socks as well, including this pair which was part of my daughter Nicky's Christmas gift.  She had requested pale blue socks knitted in 4ply.

So all in all, I'm pleased with my completed knitting projects this year.  And I've got three more projects already cast on, which will continue over to 2026.  That should keep me busy, I think.
