Summary of #makenine2019
So how did I do with the 2019 challenge? Quite miserably I would say. I did in fact complete quite a few garments and other bits, but following the list was not happening this year either. I managed to finish 2 out of 9 pieces. And thats only because I left one blank and have inserted my favourite knit of the year as number 9, namely the Bouquet Sweater.
True to form I cast on with abandon any other thing not on the list that struck my fancy. But that’s a story for another post. And will I make a 2020 list? Most likely yes. Just because it’s fun to browse all the patterns and do some imaginary knitting now in the dead of winter.
The 2019 line-up and their current status

This flew off the needles (barring a hiatus due to missing ball of yarn!). See the details in the finished object post.
2. Lapwing

Work in progress
Currently hibernating and wating for sleeves. Most likely to be finished in the January fit of finishing all the things.
The poor beauties that didn’t make it in 2019
For various reasons these six lovely designs did not get cast-on during the year. Still in my Ravelry queue so they might still happen.
