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.

Great finishes. Has a letter arrived from me yet.
You’ve knitted some beautiful items this year. You are such a generous soul with so many of your projects, both sewing and knitting, being donated to various charities. Thanks for sprinkling love and warmth to others. Happy new year Jenny.
Lovely projects in 2025, Jenny--those little jumpers are just adorable...nice works hugs, Julierose
"Golly" is about all I can say about your impressive knitting. I wouldn't have a clue about knitting a jumper, especially such small ones. The cream-colored one is especially pretty, and I can imagine a toddler looking adorable wearing it. And socks! That's an impressive skill too. I imagine someone would call ME a slow knitter, so by comparison, I'm sure you're speedy. You'll surely enjoy continuing to knit in 2026. Have a lovely start to the new year.
I love those little sweaters!
Great projects, love the pink sweater!
Really well done! I so admire your work.
Great knitting Jenny and the jumpers are both adorable.
Well done. I like the idea of the buttons being on the Raglan sleeve seam.
Some lovely knits you made for donation and one blanket for Gemma too.
Wow! You are so talented with your knitting. I am impressed by the assortment of wonderful projects you make. Lovely patterns, and colors, and additions like buttons and such ! I love the monotony of knitting, but am absolutely horrible at finishing them. I have been watching all kinds of yarn dyeing videos. But don't need another project. We have awful windy, cold and snowy weather today. I wish I had yours instead. Happiest of New Years to you!
Your knitting needles sure had a workout during the year. Such a lovely variety of projects
What lovely projects to get finished. The colours of the baby sweaters are perfect for either a boy or a girl.
Happy New Year.
God bless.
Yes, you should be pleased Jenny. These are all wonderful projects knitted by you. I'm sure all the recipients will love them including Gemma! A wonderful new year to you too!
