First up, happy new year everyone. I'm hoping that 2009 is going to be a better year for me and those around me that have had a trying year. For myself, my main hope is for a new job in an area that I will enjoy working in. I'd also like to stay healthy and relatively pain free.
With the change of year, I've been going over my knitting and stitching progress for 2008.
At the start of 2008, I had 38 stitching projects in progress and as of the end of 2008, I had 36 projects. During the year, I started 30 projects and finished 32 projects. Only 5 of the finishes were of projects that were in progress at the start of 2008.

Out of these 36, I've decided not to continue stitching on 4 projects for various reasons/
1. Jungle babies birth sampler
2. Merry stitches stocking
3. Newton's law the future's so bright
4. Star trek trio.
That leaves me with 32 WIPs at the start of this year. I'd really like to get at least 5 of these projects finished in the coming year. For the past year I really haven't stitched as much as I have done in the past but in this coming year, I'm going to make a concerted effort to stitch more.
Knitting wise, 2008 was a really good year. I finished 44 projects.
This breaks down as
7 pairs of fingerless mitts (Fetchings and Cranford mitts)
4 Adipose stuffed toys
18 pairs of Adult sized socks
2 pairs of baby socks
2 Scarves (1 clapotis and 1 Bertie scarf)
4 adult sized hats
2 baby sized hats
1 baby cardigans
4 adult sized garments (Neaty, Tomato, Anise and Matilda Jane)
I'm really pleased with what I've managed to knit this year. For the coming year, I'd like to knit more adult sized garments for me.
At the start of 2008, I've got 11 knitting WIPs
1. Central park hoodie
2. Andi Messenger bag
3. Twister socks
4. Kid classic cranford mitts
5. Panda Soy monkey socks
6. Shur'tagal socks
7. Blue February lady sweater
8. Little pumpkin socks
9. Bamboo two at a time socks
10. Jungle stripe socks
11. One skein gloves
I should get all of these finished this year. Only the Central park hoodie, the messenger bag and the twister socks were in progress at the start of 2008.

LOL.This sounds like the maths problems I used to get at school!!!
Happy new year and enjoy your stitching. Fingers crossed your hopes for 2009 are realised. x K
You accomplished a lot last year Paula - good luck for 2009!
Happy new year! :D
Holy cow that's a lot of wips *feeling much better now* hee-hee!
Happy knitting and stitching for 2009!
You've achieved a lot in 2008 - good luck with your plans for 2009! Somehow I'm not quite so brave as to have so many WIPs - I'd spend far too much time feeling guilty and worrying about when I was going to work on on them! Instead, I just have a huge (and constantly growing) stash of charts and kits I really want to stitch.
