I've been just a wee bit curious about this subject since I first joined this group. :)

How many things have you actually knitted completely in your life? What are they?

So far, in the last 5 years since I started knitting again (my grandmother taught me when I was 7 or so and I forgot how to do it till I picked it back up from memory about 20 or so odd years later) I have finished off:

4 scarves
1 baby blanket
1 spiderweb capelet

What about you? :)

Wow, I hadn't really thought about it. What an interesting thread.

4 sweaters
12 + lace patterned scarves
1 long boyfriend scarf (my own design)
3 button over cowls or neck warmers (of my own design)
5 hats (also all my own designs)
1 pair baby booties
1 felted hat
3 failed hats (I finished them they just worked out badly - tip don't try and design baby hats without knowing what size a baby's head is -also my own design)

On the needles I have:

2 sweaters
1 hat
1 lace scarf

I have been knitting since I was 16. Can't possibly count all my projects but my favorite things to knit are socks, scarvess, afghans and hats, and booties. Not big on sweaters.

50 years is lots of knitting!

How about what have you made in the last year or two?

Since 2003: Zillions of hats, scarves and felted bags. 2 baby all-in-ones. 5 toddler sweaters, 1 adult sweater, 1 adult cardigan, 1 maternity tshirt. 4 pairs of socks, 6 pairs of gloves. A waistcoat. A Clanger. A Gruffalo (my own design). An afghan. 3/4 of a coat, 1/4 of a shawl. Lady Eleanor (not mine, but the best blog/photos I've seen for it). Some other things I've no doubt forgotten, and a lot of WIPs that are languishing, including two more adult sweaters, one of which only needs seaming. But it's July and I probably won't get around to that until November...

A lot of things! I'll limit it to the last few years:

6 scarves
4 hats
7 sweaters
2 shawls
3 pairs of mitts
1 pair of mittens
3 pairs of short socks
1 pair of knee socks
1 pair of leg warmers

On the needles right now:
1 sweater
1 tank

I like this thread because it makes me look back on all the projects I don't necessarily think about anymore.

wow! *already green eyes made greener with a touch of envy* If ever there was motivation to knit more projects, THIS IS IT!

I am so proud of all of you! :) How on earth do you find all that time to make such wonderful projects?

----> Esp. you, knittingfreak ( message#8), did you really make all that in just a year??

I didn't add what I have "on the kneedles" (what a wonderful turn of phrase):

three scarves
my first pair of socks
one vest
one sweater (wish me luck! *sigh*)
one hat

HAPPY KNITTING! ;)

Not too much, as I only knit when I'm watching tv or a movie, and I don't really have a lot of time for that while at school, but since learning to knit four years ago I have made:

1 pair of mittens
12 mini Christmas stockings
13? or so scarves (I was in a knitting club at school where we made scarves for a local homeless shelter, so since I don't have them around anymore, I've lost count)
1 purse
1 sweater (the "to dye for" sweater from Stitch n Bitch)

and I currently have another sweater in the works; I'm doing a variation on the "to dye for," but adjusting the sizing a bit so that it will fit me better, and with a boat neck (hopefully...who knows how it will come out). I'm using a solid blue yarn, though, which I got for a steal on ebay.

Let's see: I can go back two years because I inherited my mother-in-law's stash when she died. (And for those of you who hoarde yarn, I urge you to think of those left behind to sort it out!)

I made:
6 double-knit winter scarves
1 boy's vest
6 "chukes" (now called beanies)
1 angora shawl
6 pairs of socks
1 bed jacket
2 small afghans (one to match my Fiestaware)
6 felted bags
12 felted flower pins
2 Monmouth caps for relatives who are Colonial "re-enactors"
2 pairs mittens

Oh, gah. This is like being asked what books I've read and what my favorites are! (And to appreciate that, when I'm in full energy mode, I slam through 3-7 books a week.)

So... um... In the last year:

Socks (many - when in doubt, I knit socks). Hats. A vest. One sweater. Mittens. Sheep puppets. A blouse of handspun tencel-silk.

There's also a fair amount of spinning in my project queue, with each yarn aimed at some project or other down the line.

I've been knitting for 3 years and have done:

2 Devil hats (lost the first one and had to mulligan)
2 long sleave sweaters
1 tank sweater with matching arm warmers (my pattern)
1 Regular tank (in Noro!)
2 pairs of fingerless mittens
1 fablously purple and snot green skirt
1 drop stitch vest
1 Dr Who scarf (my pattern)

Currently on my needles i'm knitting a 3/4 bell sleeve and v-neck sweater, with mohair, in my unairconditioned nightmare of a apartment.

Wow! Everyone else's lists are making me nervous...Ah, well, here goes nothing. In the year and a half (ish) that I've been knitting, I've knit:

quite a few scarves and hats
a tote bag (which stretched sadly)
countless headbands or headscarf-type things for friends
a pair of mittens

On the needles:

3 scarves (sad, I know)
a baby blanket square
my first (ah!) sock (going very slowly)

Hmm. Okay, cool question.

Since I started blogging two years ago:

1 men's raglan sweater
1 baby bonnet
1 baby sweater
4 baby hats
2 baby jackets
2 child hats
3 adult hats
4 adult scarves
1 moebius scarf
1 ruana
1 men's sleeveless pullover
3 pair men's socks
2 lace doilies
1 lace christening shawl
1 reticule (purse)

And I think there are a few other things I'm forgetting. Didn't realize I'd been so productive.

Thanks Vidya. I finished a ballband dishcloth this weekend. So silly, but I love that rag. I'm going to make more. I'm definitely hooked.
