It was a year filled with wonderful things and sad events, changes big and small.
Design wise, I published 20 patterns in 2018, including my first graded garment!
The rundown, in case you missed any are:
Techno Punkies
Spring's Around the Corner
My April Fools Pattern : Truth, Fallacies and Statistics.
Ashes of Roses, which you can get free from Knotions.com
Callie's Braids
Smocked Leaves, another Free Pattern on Knotions.com
A Shawl/Scarf in three sizes, Somebody Told Me, again free to you from Knotions.
Team Knit
Philadelphus...hey look at that, you can get it for free on Knotions!
And back to Knotions I went with Sweetened Footies.
How the Tiger Got its Stripes
A Trio of Holiday Patterns
A Sprinkling of Leaves, from Knotions.

Pourquoi, exploring shawls and "humps"
Cowl Trick....reversible color changes without the pesky purl bumps in the wrong color!
Once more I went back to Knotions with Schlumbergera

And my final 2018 pattern...Norma Jeanne
While usually with goal setting the typical answer is do more, I don't see that level of production being sustainable for the long haul, although I have several things ready for test knitting, some ready for editing and two new things on my needles right now!
Family wise it was a very busy year! Between class and work schedules it felt like we were all coming and going all the time, but we made time to do some fun things together. (Funnily enough most of them involved fiber arts in one way or another.)
We made our annual trips to the Mid Ohio Fiber Fair and Wool Gathering, and have agreed they both go on the list of things we want to do again this year.
This year will also see growth and change in the family. Graduations and new job ventures for the kids, of course more knitting and crafting for me! Who knows, I might even get back into the routine of blogging consistently!
Until next time....Happy Knitting!
