A year in knitting: I knitted 6 miles of yarn in 2009.
Considering how much I spun in 2009, I'm pretty pleased. My stash definitely grew due to the spinning & gifts and purchases (5 miles purchased at Stitches West Feb 2009 alone, mostly not knit up yet).

This is very nice. I don't know much about knitting, but is there a characteristic weave for the craftsman?
