Here’s my last update post, with yardage, which obviously does not really matter as far as the competition goes, but I’m feeling pretty happy with how much I’ve accomplished. I am homeschooling the older two of my four young children and working on top of that, so the idea that any knitting at all got done is a great source of pleasure, and that I finished two gifts and a project for myself is really terrific. Here’s what I did:
Goddess Knits Anniversary Shawl, 1410 yards
Coveted Lace Skirt, my design: 900 yards
Goddess Knits Mystery Shawl #9 1050 yards
Bad Cat Designs Summer Sampler Study: 1400 yards
and a pathetic photo of four works in progress that have about 500 yards in them:
Storyteller Socks, Veil of Isis, Anniversary Shawl, and Mystery Stole 4:
So, I count 5,260 yards total.
I want to thank everyone for sharing their projects. I have gotten so many great ideas from so many of you. I have about a hundred pages to finish working on tonight, but I’m hoping to get a chance tomorrow to review more projects so as to nominate my favorites for special prizes–there are so many great projects! Hope to see you all again in the winter!
And thanks so much to the moderators and sponsors for making this happen!
I love your anniversary shawl!! That pattern really rocked and everyones is so different!! Great summer!! Congrats!!

Wow! Congratulations on all your great projects. What an accomplishment. I have five kids, and when they were little, knitting is what kept me sane. Actually, it’s what still keeps me sane. One is in college, and I’m homeschooling one this year. It’s a first for me!
Thanks a lot. It is definitely what kept me sane this summer. I’ve been checking out your blog from time to time–I hope you are enjoying homeschooling. It is sometimes tough, but always worth the effort!
