I always like to run through all of the items that I have managed to post on the blog for the year. The idea is to do a year end summation, but I rarely manage to get everything together before January. Most of these projects were sewn during 2025, although a couple were finished in prior years, but I never managed to post them until last year.

I do feel that I have done a better job using the fabric and patterns that I had on hand for 2025, which is always nice. Here is hoping that I continue with that trend.

And there are a few projects that were technically finished in 2025, but are not yet photographed and/or blogged. I finished a sweater over the holiday, and I pulled out another unfinished knit project that still needs one sleeve finished and all of the ends woven in. So perhaps 2026 will be the year of the sweater . . . there are quite a few other UFOs in the yarn category that have been ignored for years and years, so it would be great to get through a few of those.

It has been over a week since I have accomplished any garment sewing, and I'm antsy to get back in the sewing room. My hope is that I manage to finish a coat in the next couple of months, so I better get to it!
