A Review of 2018

Good Morning!

When I left work just before 4 p.m. yesterday, my car was covered in slushy sleet…and again this morning, but it is above freezing and actually pretty foggy outside.

I decided that before too much more of January skips by us I should do a reading and knitting review of 2018.  I don’t set goals or anything…I just like seeing what I did.

Reading

I read a total of 43 books during 2018.  16 were non-fiction and 27 were fiction.  Six of the 43 were read with Fletch after dinner (1 fiction; 5 non-fiction).  My ratings (1-5 stars):

• ·         12 at 5 *
• ·         4 at 4.5 *
• ·         11 at 4 *
• ·         7 at 3.5 *
• ·         7 at 3 *
• ·         2 at 2.5 *

Nice that 27 were rated 4 * or above.  My favorite book overall for 2018 was “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” by Jules Verne (read with Fletch after dinner).

Knitting

A total of 16 projects:

• ·         8 pairs of socks
• ·         4 pairs of fingerless mitts
• ·         1 sweater
• ·         1 shawl
• ·         1 hat
• ·         1 fiddly cat

And there you have it!  My Knitting/Reading journal for 2019 has already been started with a finish in each category.  Again, no goals, but I will be curious to see how 2019 stacks up compared to 2018.  More on that in another year – lol.

Today should be a little busier for me than yesterday was – starting with a financial conference call at 10:30.  But, knitting and reading have been brought to work (I did start a hat yesterday at lunch time).  Wishing you all the best that this Tuesday may bring you.
