Final update for 2018 and my knitting statistics

Knitting news!
I finished my first pair of cascade heritage prints socks on new years eve :)
I finally finished my flax jumper, pattern by tincan knits, knit with drops alaska in number 45 (light olive). I cast it off on 1st January 2019 but I'm counting it in my 2018 knitting statistics (only did 2" today so definitely think it deserves to be counted in last years knits).
I cast on a pair of birthday socks in the Yule colourway from felt fusion.
Spinning news! Finally! lol
I started spinning a small sample of fibre from fondant fibre in the Matilda colour. I'm hoping to spin along with Mel Browne crafting podcast for spinuary (as muchas possible at least).
I made a couple of macrame snowflakes :)
Goodies!
My mum asked me to arrange a suprise yarny gift box for Christmas, so I contacted Shadow at felt fusion. I asked for a Christmas at Hogwarts theme and I love what she put together :)
I did a Christmas swap with Mel (Bakewell_hearts) and these are the goodies she sent for me. Love her colour choices :)
2018 knitting statistics, I've finished:
33 pairs of socks, 11 toys, 15 hats, 5 pairs of mitts, 6 scarf/cowl/shawl/wrap, 3 baby garments, 5 Christmas pudding covers, 8 blanket squares/wash cloths, and 1 jumper (technically finished 1/1/19 but I'm counting it for 2018 as only did last 2" today) I've also done some macrame and embroidery :)
Happy Crafting!
