So to round up the year that has just passed in knitting, I thought I would share some of my favourite knits of 2018 .. In order of approximate completion, we have : Simply Stockinette Tee  by Kaitlin Blasing A very nice enjoyable straightforward pattern that I liked so much I have nearly completed another one, and probably will make more of in the future My project page on Ravelry Designers pattern on Ravelry Harris bag  by Linda Moorhouse I made this bag for my young daughter. It was really fun t knit and the end project is almost surprisingly impressive for how simple a knit it is, it just looks gorgeous My project page on Ravelry Designers pattern on Ravelry Alfama  by Filipa Carneiro This was actually my first shawl, and it was a very immersive knit that I just loved getting stuck into My project page on Ravelry Designers pattern on Ravelry Blissful Tee  by Universal Yarn I live in a hot climate so another warm weather tee for me.
