8: My favourite thing I've knit this year

So I've not been able to knit nearly as much as I had hoped because my wrists have been a bit dodgy, but I have made a few things I'm really proud of! I can't pick just one so heres a small selection (please forgive my unwoven ends 😅):

Something I'm technically proud of is this

The pattern here is the GoGo Dynamo, which was Steven Wests MKAL for 2024(mystery knit along) which I started last year but finished this year. It was really fun playing with the mohair, and how the varying yarn weight affects the texture of the finished piece. Would love to do an MKAL again when my wrists are a bit better.

There's also

This is a second sample of my eye vest (working on writing out the pattern now, hopefully I'll be able to put out a test call in the new year). I think I want to do some minor surgery to shorten it, I got a little carried away in the body but I absolutely adore this yarn, it's undyed and buttery soft.

Practically, I also have to mention

I made this hat in spring from some yarn I bought when I went to London with my friends to see Starlight express, and I wear it basically every day. The pattern is mine, and it's a super simple hat recipe for when I really just want to do stockinette forever so it's really fun to make and hats like this are my go to for knitting in the cinema.
