lots of positives this year, lots of finished projects

a pink top for me
stripey sweater for J2
4 squares for my Pratchgan (must get back to that, I'm way behind)
3 woolly hats (2 for J1 and 1 for shoebox appeal)
gloves and scarf for J2
3 pairs of socks for me (including Monkey by Cookie A which got felted.Twice.Waaah)
8 washcloths for gifts and swaps
2 mug cosies and coasters
1 bookmark
2 flower brooches
2 easter eggs
1 square for the faery blanket for Erin
a purple pouch to keep (empty) dog poop bags in
and a Cecily moebius for me

all in all, not bad going. I have more wips/ufos than I'm used to, so I want to get some stuff finished pdq.
