The 2006 FO Tally
Thanks everyone for the positive feedback about my swap goodies! I'm especially happy that my swap partner liked them. As long as she doesn't think I'm a bad date, then I think I'm off the hook. ;)
Lots of other knitters have done it, so I'll give it a shot too. What did I complete in 2006? A couple things made my count difficult.
1. I started my blog halfway through the year, so I don't have an online record of many of my FOs
2. I really didn't finish very much
Here is my best guess at the tally:
Knitting:
1. Ribs and Ruffles scarf
2. Chunky 2x2 ribbed scarf
3. knitted baby hat
4. Two pairs of knitted baby/toddler mittens
5. Patchwork sweater for myself
So, that's a total of 6 knitted FOs. Most of these items can be viewed in a slide show of FOs in my sidebar. I will devote an upcoming blog to the patchwork sweater, which is biggest knitted project to-date, but was completed pre-blog.
Crochet:
1. Seija baby blanket
2. Two sets of potholders
3. Two baby hats
4. Two toddler hats
A total of 7 crocheted FOs.
Not exactly a spectacular count, but I did just learn to knit and I have several large projects that are nearly finished (I know, excuses, excuses). I will post more photos of knitting soon, once I catch up on teaching, writing, and research (wow, I feel tired just writing that!). This semester is definitely going to kick my butt. More on that later.

I didn't realize that you recently learned how to knit. When? Regardless, that is quite impressive.
I definitely hear you on being overwhelmed about everything there is to do. A professor's work is never done!!!
You didn't include moving cross-country, buying a house, finishing your post-doc, publishing how many papers? and all that jazz. It's been a very productive year for you!
