Still Loving Socks … and a CONTEST!
Thank you for all of your great book and movie suggestions in last week’s Anniversary contest! I have discovered the benefits of books on tape (or, I guess they call it audiobooks now. Books on tape is so yesterday…) I can walk or knit while listening to good books, and now I have a whole list of titles to explore. We used the Random Number Generator to pick two winners from last week’s comments. We’re sending Sixth Anniversary Kits to Dianne in IN and Leah in MO. Congratulations to you two!
We have a new contest for you again today. (Do you like the weekly contests during our Anniversary Month? We do!) This week’s question is an easy one, I think. What item have you knit or crocheted the most? Socks? Shawls? Sweaters? Blankets? Scarves? Mittens and Gloves? Hats and Cowls? Leave the answer in the comments below and we’ll draw the winner next week. I have two skeins of Wollmeise Lace that we’ll be sending to two winners!
I went to Ravelry to see what the answer would be for me. I’ve missed photoing a few things, but most of what I have knit is on my Rav project page. The answer? Still overwhelmingly socks! Some 60 pairs of socks, about 25 shawls, 30 scarves, 15 gloves/mitts, 10 hats/cowls, a few blankets, a few sweaters, and a few felted bags from the early days. How about you? (You don’t have to give exact numbers – just tell me what you think you have knit the most!)

Socks and shawls for me, though I think the sock probably win out!
April said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:28 am
I guess in my case it has to be scarves…seems I have a thing for scarves. My mom, on the other hand, is a sock lady, definitely!
Kelli W said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:30 am
I have actually knitted more blankets than anything. They take longer so I am guaranteed knitting for a long period of time. Downside, I don’t have as many FO.
Amy Salazar said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:31 am
Most definitely the thing I knit most is shawls. There are 44 on my Rav page and more that aren’t there.
Elaine said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:32 am
SOCKS!!! Love how quick and portable they are.
Janine said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:35 am
I’ve definitely evolved into a shawl knitter. I’ve knit 8 this year alone!
MARY B said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:37 am
When I first started knitting it was socks, but it’s definitely become shawls and scarfs in the past year.
Jenny S said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:39 am
Used to be felted bags, but shawls have taken over.
Nami said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:39 am
I think it is socks for me and I have enough so that I don’t need to wear store-bought ones. Now I want to make more shawls for myself and to give away.
Bettye said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:40 am
SOCKS for sure!!! I love them! I love to knit scarves and shawls too!!! But socks are my favorite!
Stephanie said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:40 am
I’ve started a lot of shawls and sweaters, but I only seem to manage to FINISH socks.
Alex said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:41 am
I’m a sock knitter. They are easy portable projects that constantly keep my hands busy. They’re great to knit and please everyone who receives them, even teenage boys!
Sheri said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:41 am
I would have to say socks with shawls coming in a close second.
Sarah said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:41 am
Socks are what I’ve knit the most, although shawls may eventually catch up!
buttercup said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:41 am
definitely socks, but lace shawls are catching up!
Beth said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:42 am
Hats! My nephews and nieces love hand knit hats, so they get a new one each winter.
Kari W. said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:43 am
Definitely socks but with scarves/shawls a close second and mittens coming in at third.
Renee said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:43 am
Far and away it’s mittens and gloves. However, I haven’t knit any pairs of mittens in over a year. It’s all socks right now!
Lois said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:45 am
It’s socks for me, too.
Eileen said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:46 am
I just went and tallied all my projects on Ravelry – though I don’t consider myself a dishcloth knitter that much, those are what I’ve made the most. I guess because they’re quick I’ve made more than say sweaters. Second is hats and again, I didn’t think I knit that many!
Eileen
Stephanie said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:47 am
Scarves take first place followed closely by socks!
Kamilla Mazanec said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:47 am
Until Camp Loopy 2012, I was exclusively a sock knitter — hand knit socks are so soft and cushiony and warm. My 3 Camp Loopy projects were all scarves — sock just did not meet the yardage requirements. I would really like to try a sweater sometime soon.
SwimSarah said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:47 am
I’m all about the socks as well- nowhere near as many as you Sheri, but a lot considering how I’ve only been knitting for a few years now.
Katrina said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:48 am
I knit socks the most, without a doubt!
Terri Sanders said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:49 am
This year, I have knit mostly shawls, but looking back over time, socks have been knit the most!
Jeane said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:49 am
I’ve been knitting shawl after shawl….I love to frequent second hand stores and thrift shops and purchase unique brooches and pins, and then I make a shawl to compliment the pin!
My girlfriends get hand knitted presents for birthdays and Christmas

Socks, most definetly socks!
Kathy said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:51 am
Socks and Shawls
Vickie said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:51 am
Overall, probably hats for NICU babies, then socks. Now it’s mostly socks with preemie hats from the leftover sock yarn!
Theresa said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:51 am
Sweaters and shawls, it would seem. I want to start knitting more accessory type items, but can’t resist the lure of large projects!
Seanna Lea said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:52 am
I have knit a lot of socks, but even more than that are hats and scarves. I used to do knitting for the Dulaan project and other charity projects which usually meant scarves and hats for winter.
geeky Heather said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:53 am
I think the answer is socks for me, even though I haven’t done that many! Wait…was the question how many I cast on, or how many I finished??!?
Kristine Bennett said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:55 am
Probably mostly socks, but when I first started knitting I DID make a lot of scarves. . . there is no documented record of that, though. . . I gave most away. So, I guess I have probably made more scarves, BUT, not in the last 10 years. . . it’s been more socks. But I haven’t knit as much as some. Trying to get more done!
Molly said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:58 am
Shawls/scarves for sure!
Kim said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:58 am
definitely socks, with baby hats (gifts) in a distant second.
Sandra said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:00 am
I was going to say shawls. Checking out my project list on Rav, I have knitted mostly socks. Socks are what got me back into knitting in 2010. I’m also more likely to wear my socks than use one of the shawls I’ve made. Add me to the Sock list.
Karen said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:04 am
I’ve probably knit more socks in the long run, but it’s been colorwork mittens recently!
Lauren J said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:06 am
Socks or scarves – the numbers are pretty close!
Kimberly said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:06 am
I’m a pretty new knitter, and have since expanded to larger projects, but I have more finished baby and toddler hats to my name than anything else.
Shannan said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:07 am
Definitely socks for me. I’ve knit over 160 pairs and I’m still knitting them.
Erynn D said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:10 am
I’m a close call between socks and shawls. I have 15 completed shawls and 13 completed socks, but two sock WIPs and one shawl WIP. If I keep my queue set up as it is now though shawls will win hands down once I get everything knit up.
Mari said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:11 am
I’ve made a TON of socks and shawls…probably 75-100 each. Yes, I’m obsessed.
Kristen said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:11 am
My most-knit items are scarves/shawls. But the sweaters are holding in at a close second!
christine said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:12 am
Shawls! Thanks to the 10 shawls in 2010, I knit a lot of them. Runner up, though, is Rebecca Danger’s monsters – they make great baby shower gifts!
elise said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:12 am
I think it is probably socks for me, though I feel like I’ve knit a fair number of sweaters too.
Pam said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:13 am
Love to knit socks, but I think sweaters for the grandkids would win.
Susie said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:15 am
I love to knit shawls! I find knitting them very relaxing and so that’s what I knit the most of.
Frances said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:18 am
Socks, of course!
Linda said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:19 am
Since I started recording on ravelry, I would have said shawls, but I was knitting socks before I ever attempted shawls, so I guess I would have to cast my vote for socks.
Carolyn said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:22 am
I think it’s a tie between hats and shawls!
claire said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:24 am
sigh. the answer, hands down, is socks. I don’t even have to go count or look at projects. It’s socks. Hundreds of socks. all ages and sizes. of socks. Stranded, plain vanilla, lace, cabled, ribbed, toe up, cuff down, skewed. Socks. And this five years after the bold statement I made, and I quote: I will never knit socks! That’s just stupid! Why would anyone want to knit socks?!”
sigh.
Catherine said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:24 am
Another socks girl here. I made a lot of sweaters in my first couple of decades of knitting, before I discovered socks, but I’m probably very close to 60 pairs of socks, not counting the baby socks. They’re just so much fun!
Kate said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:27 am
Definitely socks. They’re my ‘save my sanity’ knitting- so I do them a lot!
Denise Russart said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:27 am
Recently – definitely socks in the last two or three years- lots of them. But prior to that, when the knitting wasn’t as frequent, mittens, mittens and more mittens. Living in Wisconsin, no one can every have too many mittens.
Hind said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:28 am
I think I’ve knit and crocheted more hats than anything else. I can usually whip one out in a day or two and they make great gifts.
Gina in the San Francisco Bay Area said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:30 am
Over the course of a year, hats usually win out in the finished objects category, followed by scarves. My sister and her family live in North Carolina, but I don’t see them enough to know their personal tastes. For the last few years, I have sent them a mixed box of knitted goodies (hats, scarves, and gloves) with each object labeled for yarn content and washing instructions. Each person picks the one or two things he or she likes, and everyone seems happy — so far.
Carolyn said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:31 am
A couple of years ago, it was scarves, but now it is definitely shawls.
Samantha said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:33 am
I knit a lot of shawls. It’s funny because hats are such a quick and easy knit for me but I always end up knitting more shawls than anything else!
Lisa G said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:33 am
I would have to say socks.
Allison said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:36 am
Either scarves or baby blankets for friends!
Leslie F said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:37 am
Although I have knit mostly shawls for myself, the item I knit the most is hats! My guild donates hats each year to Caps for Kids through our local Salvation Army. Most years, I am the “rah-rah” gal to spearhead production output.
What is really sad, though, is that until this year, I didn’t have hat that fit me!!!
Geraldine Scott said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:37 am
Scarves, for sure! Definitely need to expand my horizons!
Jody said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:37 am
Socks, by a wide margin.
Debbie H said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:41 am
Scarves for me too, although fingerless mitts run a close second.

Kristen said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:41 am
I’m pretty sure that socks still outnumber all the other projects, but I’m quickly working up a nice total of sweaters too (both adult and kidlet-sized).
Patricia said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:43 am
This has been a hat and shawl year, but over all scarves are still in the lead!
Lynn said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:44 am
Socks is it for me. Until Camp Loopy, I had only made one other shawl.
Laura said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:44 am
Shawls are catching up, but socks still win. They’re just so easily portable. I still have to think when I make most shawls!
Krista said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:45 am
I tend to cycle. When I was younger, I knit sweaters. I went through a mitten phase, knitting for charity a few years ago. Since I picked up knitting again I’m at one shawl, one sweater, and 1 pair of socks – an even run
But I expect the balance will swing towards socks, after I finish 2 planned shawls.
NancyN said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:48 am
Shawls, absolutely! It started with socks, and I’m making more and more fingerless mitts, but shawls are still my favorite.
Kathy said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:50 am
yep, Shawls. Don’t have to worry if they fit.
Teri said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:53 am
Socks but scarves and shawls combined probably outnumber the socks…
Stacie said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:54 am
For me: Shawls;
For others: Hats!
JB said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:54 am
Shawls for me! I have more shawls than I could ever wear, but they’re my favorite thing to knit!
Pam F. said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:55 am
Hats. Lots and lots of hats. A few for me, mostly for others, and most within the past few months.
Jenn said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:55 am
Socks! Though they have just recently outnumbered the scarves/shawls.
Jeanie Hanover said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:56 am
I think these weekly contests are fun! When I first started knitting I made many, many scarves but now make a variety of sweaters, vests, hats, cowls, and fingerless gloves.
Kristin C. said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:01 am
Pretty sure that I’ve knit socks the most!
Cherylann said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:01 am
Lately, it’s been shawls. For a while, it was cowls. But now, it’s definitely shawls. I made two during the Olympics.
Marsha said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:04 am
Currently knitting on my 66th pair of socks. Hats are a close second.
Marilyn said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:05 am
Lace shawls. I’m totally in love with them!
Sarah S. said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:05 am
Blankets and hats – you can never have too many!
Sally at Rivendale Farms said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:06 am
Shawls and socks, I think it makes me a Shock knitter.
enidb said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:06 am
I have to say shawls. Fairly recently I was knitting and my mother-in-law asked what I was knitting. When I said a shawl, she asked, “How many shawls are you going to knit?” An unbelievable question for a knitter.
Elizabeth said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:06 am
Baby blankets for me – lots of new babies around my world!
Rachel R. said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:08 am
Hats for me, with shawls second. I love knitting hats – they are so fast, portable, and practical. Shawls I love to knit because it seems like I always learn a new technique, they are a great time investment, and well, they are practical, too!
Melanie said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:09 am
I always find myself coming back to socks.
Jenny said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:10 am
Socks and hats but shawls are catching up.
Barbara said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:10 am
Would be a tie between shawls and scarves.
Robin P. said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:12 am
Socks win out with 29, just ahead of scarves – 26 and toys – 25.
MicheleinMaine said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:15 am
Probably socks for me too, but lace shawls are definitely on the rise for me. And it’s time to replace some of those socks!
Barb said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:16 am
I think for me it’s a dead heat between socks and shawls.
paulette said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:16 am
Definitely socks….to the point that I don’t even like wearing store bought socks. And I give them away also. I love the instant gratification and all the fun yarn choices.
Kylene said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:17 am
I’ve definitely knit more socks than anything else. Shawls are in second place, and I’ve probably knit not even half as many shawls as socks.
Wendy said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:18 am
Tough question! I think I have more socks than anything else listed on my Ravelry page, but I was knitting for a million years before Ravelry and cranked out a heckuva lot of sweaters then. So I’d say sweaters.
Heather said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:19 am
Definitely socks! It’s not that they’re necessarily my favorite thing to knit, but I love that I can buy one or two skeins and I know it will be enough for a pair of socks. Plus, if I want a project I can tote around with me, socks are my go to project. So, when I’m not sure what I want to make next or I know I’m going to be traveling, I start a pair of socks.
Hev said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:19 am
At the moment, it would be scarves & cowls. Though I have only been knitting for a little over a year, I am slow & am catching up on my “knits for others” projects. But I can tell you that socks & shawls are my favorite.
Amy said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:20 am
Socks and Toys… and a lot of sweaters
Michelle said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:20 am
I knit shawls the most. There are lots of other items I would like to knit, but there are just so many beautiful shawl patterns available that I can’t help myself.
Melissa said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:20 am
Definitely socks for me. I like knitting other things, but socks always seem so much easier to finish!
nina said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:23 am
So far socks, I guess because they’re relatively small and easy to take along. As I get more confident and faster with my knitting, I hope to tackle more larger projects though!
Jeannette in St. Louis said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:24 am
Shawlettes are probably what I knit the most of,,,,but I think Toe-Up socks are a fast runner-up!
Annette said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:25 am
Definitely scarves. I love knitting socks, but I seem to find myself thinking in terms of scarf patterns when I look at my sock yarn stash! I have done at least five versions of Yarn Harlot’s One Row Scarf (different yarn weights and needle sizes make a simple pattern look amazing
).
Sheila said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:27 am
Socks! I went on a sock knitting kick in the late 90′s/early 2000′s and did a whole bunch. I don’t knit socks much anymore, because I have a drawer full and find them too warm for everyday wearing, but nothing else has caught up in sheer quantity yet.
Jeny said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:29 am
Socks for me. And now DH has discovered how much he likes hand knit socks, that’s unlikely to change (although I am making a cardigan for Camp Loopy 3).
Karen said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:29 am
It’s a tie for me – I think Shawls and Socks are the winners. When I was commuting to work everyday (I telecommute now), I’d knit socks on the train, small and portable. I always have a shawl or two going
Martha said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:30 am
Hi Shari,
My go to pattern is entreloc scarves. Just love the entreloc process.
Martha
Chery said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:31 am
I have knit more socks than any other item. Shawls are a close second. I love sock and lace yarns, I rarely use a needle larger than US6.
Castiron said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:31 am
Definitely socks. Unlike sweaters and scarves, they’re projects I can wear year-round (it’s supposed to hit 102F here, and I’m comfy in my handknit socks); I need far more socks than I need market bags; they can be as complex or as mindless as I like.
Andrea said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:33 am
My favorite thing to knit is socks! But it does appear that shawls are coming in a close second this year……
Carolyn said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:35 am
Probably socks, with shawls coming in a close second. I wear handknit socks every day to work, as I am a meat cutter and work in a 48 degree room all day, with occasional trips to the cooler & freezer. Congratulations on 6 wonderful years
Kathy said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:36 am
Fingerless gloves – my hands are always cold! Scarves are a close second.
Laura said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:39 am
I knit sweaters !
Angela said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:40 am
I had to go to Ravelry to check but hats was first and then socks and lace (shawls or scarves) tied for second!
Bonnie said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:43 am
It has to be socks. They’re my default. “Finished with this project? I’d better cast on for a pair of socks.”
Jan said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:46 am
I think it is scarves. Most of my stuff isn’t in Ravelry yet, but I knit for the Red Scarf Project and for Santa Train. Next most worked project is probably dishcloths! Or maybe hats!
Thanks for another contest, and an especially wonderful prize!!!
I wish you many more anniversaries!
Penny Wilson said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:48 am
Socks, lots of SOCKS! Then hats would be a distant 2nd

Kathleen said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:51 am
Socks for sure. Shawls would be second I think.
Andrea said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:51 am
Hats, mittens and baby clothes! Lately, it’s mostly been baby things since our wee man gave us such a surprise (I was told he was supposed to be a girl so I had knitted all pink things, so now I’m working on rectifying that).
leah said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:52 am
Socks! But lately it has been baby things! All my friends are having babies
Robyn Miller said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:53 am
I would have to say socks and I love knitting them.
Laura said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:54 am
It felt like I knit a lot of sweaters, but I think I just buy yarn for sweaters and don’t knit them !
Hmmmm I need to knit me some sweaters/cardi….but going through Rav I would have to say that I am in the Shawl Knitter category.
Lynda said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:55 am
I’m definitely a sock knitter first and foremost, followed by cowls, hats and mitts in that order.
Lisa said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:55 am
I’ve knit more socks than anything, but I’ve been making them longer. I’ve caught the shawl bug more recently. Wouldn’t be surprised to find shawls out numbering socks in the next year or two.
janna said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:55 am
Baby sweaters, then hats and socks.
Kelly S said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:55 am
It seems like I mostly knit shawls/scarves, but I also knit a lot of baby items (sweaters, hats, blankies). I should do a count of my Ravelry projects to be sure, but I will just stick with that as my guess.
Thanks for all of the wonderful contests this month!
Marilee said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:56 am
Used to be socks, but now it’s all shawls!
Kim B. said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:57 am
Shawls. Originally was socks and I’m working my way back to them. Also fingerless mitts…great gifts.
Erin said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:02 am
I think for me it’s a tie between shawls & socks.
linda said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:03 am
Shawls – especially entrelac shawls – at home
and basic socks when out and about. Both items re calming for me and don’t require a lot of stress.
Susan Harbaugh said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:05 am
Socks by numbers, sweaters by volumn.
Mimi M said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:05 am
i love shawls, especially squishy, garter stitch ones.
Jean Ashley said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:06 am
I’ve been pretty even handed, if you count finished objects (part of that is because I have so many UNFINISHED projects hanging around, ahem) but I’d say it’s a tie between scarves, and bags, with baby blankets a close third…
Thanks for hosting the contest, and of course, congratulations on your anniversary!
Nancy said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:07 am
It used to be scarves but I think hats have taken the lead since I’ve acquired grandchildren!

i think hats is #1 because I donate a lot
mittens might be #2
Mary T said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:19 am
Stuff for babies, hats, booties, sweaters, blankets and monsters.
Monique Harold said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:21 am
I knit more scarves and shawls, with socks running a close second (by one project.)
Shelly B. in Fredericton said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:23 am
I would definitely say hats, I love to wear a different hat every day in the winter!
debbie said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:27 am
I’ve most definitely knit more socks than anything else!!! And what would the next project in queue?… Socks of course. Second most knit would be fingerless glove/mittens (last years holiday gift to many) and scarves. Although I’ve made shawls I never seem to wear them.
Kristen said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:29 am
Socks for me too
Victoria said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:30 am
I’m pretty sure I am mainly socks, although I haven’t knit any for a couple months. I was doing a large KAL for Cookie A’s knit.sock.love book, and got many a pair out of those.
Kathy said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:30 am
I thought it would be socks, but when I check my Ravelry page I think it is hats.
lisa said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:31 am
Overall, I’ve knit a lot more socks than anything else. But in the past year or so, I’ve been on a huge shawl knitting kick.
BFF Liz said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:35 am
Scarves/shawls for me for sure, followed by hats. I love me a good wool hat in the winter.
Holly said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:35 am
Baby sweaters, this has been a fertile spring and summer for baby sweaters, I’ve made 12 and have 2 more to go!
Page said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:36 am
I would have bet it was socks or shawls because I am always drawn to those patterns and weights of yarn, but looking at my projects I have knit way more sweaters than anything else! My mom always says I am a sweater knitter but I never thought she was right.
karen said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:37 am
Shawls!!!!
Barbara Clayburn said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:38 am
Socks are my #1 knitting project. I use to knit them just for myself but now I knit them for all the family.
Michelle said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:40 am
My mother loves socks, so I knit a lot of them. Shawls are gaining, though.
Mary said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:40 am
Socks,socks,socks.They are by far my favorite thing to knit.I just finished a pair in Madelinetosh with yarm from a Loopy Ewe kit from a while back.The color is a gorgeous purple whose name escapes me.I always lose those labels ! They are for my friend’s we-hope-someday-daughter-law ! I hope she likes them.
Lynne Hutchinson said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:40 am
Probably I have knit more sweaters over the past 50 years than anything else. I have only been doing shawls for the past 3 years and socks for the past five years. I have also done a lot of afghans over the years. It has been a lot of fun.
Lois Yamada said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:42 am
I go in phases. Although I have to say it is socks but shawls are creeping up there too. I used to knit allot of sweaters but they are too time consuming and like the “Quick” knits these days
Katie Lynn said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:43 am
It’s a tie between hats and shawls. Hats are basically the only thing I can think of for my dad (who has everything!) and shawls are excellent both for me and as gifts.
Kris from MI said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:48 am
I would have to say socks, then scarves and then mittens coming in a close third!
Jenny K said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:49 am
Sweaters, then socks.
Janine said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:50 am
Shawls and scarves for me. I knit some socks but they are just plain so I usually don’t put them up on my Ravelry page.
Carrie said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:51 am
Socks. It is absolutely socks more than anything else.
Miranda said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:52 am
For myself: shawls. For others: hats.
Word Lily said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:52 am
If we’re counting both knitting and crochet, then the answer is likely scarves or blankets. As far as knitting? The answer might be socks.
Amber said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:53 am
It is probably a toss up between shawls and hats & cowls for me
I think hats are my socks – I have three on the needles right now!
Bev said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:53 am
Definitely socks. I’ve done about 65 pair. I’m going to have to dedicate another drawer in the dresser soon.
Sandy H. said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:54 am
Shawls and baby blankets are at the top for me. I must know the most fertile people in the world because every time I blink a friend of my daughter or a daughter of a friend is having another! My daughter is expecting baby number 3 in January!
Phyllis Tedesco said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:55 am
my major sport with knitting is socks and sweaters. Do not have a count but have made alot.
Merna said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:57 am
Even though, I’ve knit a lot of hats and scarves for charity, without counting, I’m sure socks wins out. And socks are mostly for me!
Carol said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:57 am
I would have thought cowls since my Ravelry name is Cowlgrl but from looking at my projects (thanks for the suggestion) it is socks by a landslide! No wonder my sock drawer is so full.
Megan said,
August 17, 2012 @ 12:00 pm
Definitely garments/sweaters! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Lilie said,
August 17, 2012 @ 12:01 pm
39 shawls and counting. Maybe when I have 365 of them then I will stop. LOL!
Ronni said,
August 17, 2012 @ 12:04 pm
Socks for me. Both the most finished items and the most currently on the needles. Though they are all waiting for me to finish my Camp Project 3 at the moment.
Aj said,
August 17, 2012 @ 12:05 pm
Apparently I like making hats because according to Ravelry that is what I have made the most of.
Katrina said,
August 17, 2012 @ 12:06 pm
For me, I would guess shawls however I did knit eight pair of socks for gifts last Christmas
Katie K said,
August 17, 2012 @ 12:06 pm
I love knitting shawls and they predominate my projects.
Heather said,
August 17, 2012 @ 12:09 pm
At first I thought shawl, but I quickly reconsidered and thought the answer was socks. Then I realized neither count was close to the number of hats I have made. Hats are so quick, easy and the perfect gift.
Jenny said,
August 17, 2012 @ 12:09 pm
I would say it is a tie between socks and scarves, unless you count each individual sock and one item then it is definitely socks!
Rita said,
August 17, 2012 @ 12:10 pm
Neck gear–scarves and shawls that I scrunch up as scarves. I have one-sock-itis, so sock knitting is an uphill battle for me. And I’ve been slacking on my knitting, so my last sock project was not my shining moment. I had put the second sock down for so long that I thought the yarn was stretched too long in a cake, so I tightened my tension…except it was too tight and now the second sock doesn’t fit!!
Deborah said,
August 17, 2012 @ 12:12 pm
Sock, sock, and more socks. Everyone in my family has very warm toes!! Of course there is also the hats, scaves and shawletts, but mostly socks.
Marcia said,
August 17, 2012 @ 12:20 pm
Socks followed by scarves
Sally said,
August 17, 2012 @ 12:21 pm
Hats – once I found a local charity requesting hats for the homeless, my yarn leftovers had a new purpose.
Amanda said,
August 17, 2012 @ 12:23 pm
Shawls and hats–my favorites to knit and wear!
Joyce said,
August 17, 2012 @ 12:27 pm
I would have to say socks just because they are small, and there’s nothing to sew up, so I get them done faster. My sweaters always go into time-out for a while until I can psych myself up to put them together…
Lori said,
August 17, 2012 @ 12:29 pm
It would definitely be shawls for me this year! I was on this kick after taking Lauren Nelkins lace shawl class on Craftsy. I was hooked!!! The perfect amount of lace to keep me interested and beads are always a plus for me.
Laurie said,
August 17, 2012 @ 12:29 pm
It’s totally socks. With all the sock yarn I’ve purchased from you, I should have many more pairs done, though!
Patricia said,
August 17, 2012 @ 12:29 pm
I do love the contests! They are so fun
my answer has to be socks so far.
manda said,
August 17, 2012 @ 12:32 pm
hands down (feet down?), I’ve made more socks than anything.
Suellen said,
August 17, 2012 @ 12:33 pm
Definitely shawls – I love shawls!
Jen said,
August 17, 2012 @ 12:34 pm
I think my most knit item to date is toys, namely stuffed animals. For this purpose I highly recommend Susan B Anderson’s patterns!
JenL said,
August 17, 2012 @ 12:34 pm
Scarves and shawls, but I want to knit more socks.
Ann said,
August 17, 2012 @ 12:44 pm
I would have said socks until I counted all the shawls I have knit in the last few years (35). Very few sweaters and those were for children.
Barbara Seiver said,
August 17, 2012 @ 12:45 pm
Socks first, then shawls. I think these two items have greater popularity because you don’t have to worry about whether or not the patterns are sized big enough, as in sweaters.
Tori said,
August 17, 2012 @ 12:48 pm
I don’t keep good track of my projects, so I can’t be certain, but t is definitely either socks or hats. Actually, if each sock counts, it’s definitely socks. If its pairs, I’m on the fence.
Karey said,
August 17, 2012 @ 12:49 pm
I would have to say hats.
Camanoah said,
August 17, 2012 @ 12:54 pm
When I started back into knitting after a long hiatus, it was probably hats and fingerless gloves. I am beginning to knit shawls (1 done), socks (still on first), but I know I will be making many more, especially socks. When I knit before, it was almost entirely sweaters and I will still do a few of those as well. Thanks for the opportunity to win some Wollmeise!
Julie said,
August 17, 2012 @ 12:54 pm
Definitely socks. I have more pairs than I will ever be able to use in my remaining lifetime. I give them away. I gift them. But still, they seem to multiply on their own.
Deb said,
August 17, 2012 @ 12:54 pm
Definetly scarves for me!
Linda said,
August 17, 2012 @ 1:01 pm
Well, it looks like a tie between mitts/mittens and scarves. . . and I have more planned for Christmas gifts.
I love your contests! A chance to win Woolmeise is wonderful!
MzJen said,
August 17, 2012 @ 1:03 pm
Socks!
Carrie said,
August 17, 2012 @ 1:10 pm
SOCKS.
And linen stitch neck warmers. At extremely tight gauge. They are fabulous for the North Dakota winter wind, but hell on the hands!
Gracey said,
August 17, 2012 @ 1:11 pm
Amigurami and hats…those are what I have made the most….
Kathy said,
August 17, 2012 @ 1:12 pm
I think I have knit more shawls than anything else. I know I have more fingering yarn than anything else and it was bought with socks in mind but as I have begun to wear my hand knit socks I realized that 100% was not my friend as much as some nylon so some of that fingering yarn had to become something other than socks so that is why I have more shawls than socks.
Kay said,
August 17, 2012 @ 1:15 pm
Socks win hands down! I don’t think there is much of anything in my Ravelry projects but socks. Yes, there are some crocheted items. And some shawls. Mostly socks!
Helga said,
August 17, 2012 @ 1:15 pm
I’ve definitely knit more socks than anything else. In second place would be hats.
Amanda said,
August 17, 2012 @ 1:17 pm
I have definitely knit more scarves than anything else, because when I first started knitting that was all I knew how to make.
Buffie said,
August 17, 2012 @ 1:17 pm
I seem to have started more shawls, but finished slightly more socks (maybe by 1 or 2 projects). I need to finish some of those shawls! . . . but there are so many pretty patterns . . .
Cecile said,
August 17, 2012 @ 1:21 pm
Looking at my Ravelry project page (Brilliant idea!): so far, I’ve done 26 hats, 7 pairs of mittens and gloves, 9 scarfs, 19 shawls,14 tops (including sweaters, cardigans and tank tops) and 7 pairs of socks. So I guess, my favorite things to knit are hats! There are instant gratification and I love that. And I’m wearing them from Fall to Spring.
But these days, I’m really into shawl knitting.
Barbara said,
August 17, 2012 @ 1:21 pm
Sweaters and more sweaters; however, they best beware. Lace shawls and scarves are becoming closer competitors. They take less time and are great for gift giving – and me!
Heidi Bates said,
August 17, 2012 @ 1:22 pm
Sock come in first but my list of shawls is definitely catching up to the socks. I love fingering weight yarn!
Robyn said,
August 17, 2012 @ 1:26 pm
Hats. Lots and lots of hats.
marianne said,
August 17, 2012 @ 1:28 pm

Nancy said,
August 17, 2012 @ 1:29 pm
Socks, socks, and more socks. Just plain toe-up socks. Nothing fancy. I’ve knit many shawls too, but mostly SOCKS.
grace said,
August 17, 2012 @ 1:31 pm
I have over 1000 items on Ravelry I think the most is shawls but toys would be a close second.
Michelle said,
August 17, 2012 @ 1:43 pm
I believe I actually knit more soakers for my cloth-diapered little one than anything else! Close second would be all the socks I knit for my parents.
JoAnnaSpring said,
August 17, 2012 @ 1:45 pm
I’m a sock knitter. I learned how to knit so that I could make socks and I’m never without a pair (or four) on the needles.
Sylvia Jordan said,
August 17, 2012 @ 1:53 pm
Shawls ans shawlette by far!

Lately I’ve probably knit more mittens. I wish I was knitting a lot more!
Marla said,
August 17, 2012 @ 1:57 pm
Shawls, shawls and more shawls – so many patterns, so little time. In case you’re wondering, I give a lot of them to friends who will appreciate them

cindy said,
August 17, 2012 @ 1:57 pm
Shawls/shawlettes are definitely the winner with me. Scarves are next in line.
MaryAnne said,
August 17, 2012 @ 1:58 pm
Definitely hats for me, followed by sweaters. Hats are my comfort knitting. They always make me happy.
Cindy in un-Happy Valley said,
August 17, 2012 @ 1:58 pm
Shawls and scarves, was socks for awhile, but I’ve become enamored with lace.
Leslie said,
August 17, 2012 @ 1:59 pm
Definitely socks!
Ashley W said,
August 17, 2012 @ 1:59 pm
I think I’ve knit more socks than anything else. I love using crazy colored yarn that I wouldn’t use for anything else.
Kim said,
August 17, 2012 @ 2:00 pm
Toss-up between socks and sweaters – when I first started 8 years ago i was only a sweater knitter (mostly for my then new baby and his big sister) but lately shawls are catching up, thanks to TLE!!
Kristi said,
August 17, 2012 @ 2:04 pm
Socks. Absolutely socks.
Issy Thomas said,
August 17, 2012 @ 2:15 pm
Shawls without a doubt!
Lisa said,
August 17, 2012 @ 2:17 pm
Socks. Shawls are a close second!

August 17, 2012 @ 2:18 pm
Scarves! Scarves! Scarves! with hats coming on strong!!!
Lori S said,
August 17, 2012 @ 2:21 pm
Shawls!
TMTTYRR said,
August 17, 2012 @ 2:22 pm
Mine is most definitely hats, followed closely by shawls. My two most favorite things to knit. Not fond of scarves, and while I love wearing hand knit socks, I’m just not terribly fond of actually making them. Though I may have to do some stash diving and knit a few more.
karen said,
August 17, 2012 @ 2:23 pm
Socks, hands (or is it feet?) down.
Cris N said,
August 17, 2012 @ 2:26 pm
Baby everything….just love beautiful baby stuff! Next probably socks.
Bev S. said,
August 17, 2012 @ 2:30 pm
Socks, socks and more socks!
Bonney said,
August 17, 2012 @ 2:40 pm
Mostly baby blankets. They’re a great way to try a new pattern stitch and you always have one ready. If there’s baby shower cake just call me!!
KathyD said,
August 17, 2012 @ 2:49 pm
I like to knit wraps/shawls the most.
Robby said,
August 17, 2012 @ 2:49 pm
Easy-peasy. Shawls/shawlettes. They just keep jumping on the needles and then I feel obligated, ya know?
Sue said,
August 17, 2012 @ 2:51 pm
Definitely socks! Starting with the year I knit a pair for every family member – including the extended family – for Christmas….
Dottie said,
August 17, 2012 @ 2:51 pm
Socks, followed by shawls for me. They make such great presents! They show that I care for the recipient – without spending a fortune or worrying if they’ll fit.
Ruth glicksman said,
August 17, 2012 @ 2:51 pm
Lately socks
My husband wears them to bed every night
Barbara said,

My most knitted item is socks by far. It is a testament to their portability.
Lena said,
August 17, 2012 @ 3:02 pm
Definitely socks! Even though I’ve only knit one pair of socks this year and I’m working on my 9th shawl in 2012, for my third camp project.
Lael said,
August 17, 2012 @ 3:05 pm
Socks edge out shawls by a bit.
Sandy G said,
August 17, 2012 @ 3:08 pm
Shawls and sweaters, although socks are catching up!
Deb said,
August 17, 2012 @ 3:11 pm
Has to be shawls and scarves. So many pretty patterns I just have to try!
debd94 said,
August 17, 2012 @ 3:19 pm
Shawls.
Thanks for the giveaway.
Rebecca said,
August 17, 2012 @ 3:20 pm
Scarves so far. But I just knit my first pair of socks and I really liked it so I think that socks may be my project of choice in the future!
Barb in MA said,
August 17, 2012 @ 3:24 pm
the past 10 years or so,most of my knitting has moved to doll sweaters, specifically for 22″ resin bjds (ball jointed dolls). This started because there are so many lace patterns I want to knit and sweaters that I want, and I already have a large accumulation of sweaters made over the past 48 or so years. I lean towards lace or cobweb weight yarn and pick out most lace stitch patterns from Barbara Walker’s books and. And then my dolls need sweaters!
But, as I adore so many hand-dyed sock weight yarns, I keep buying Wollmeise, Skein, and Socktopus (to name just a few) and knit cousins scarfs and shawlettes, for gifts for my cousins. Adding to that my daughter has come to love fingerless mitts, hats .and scarfs with lace borders.
Jean said,
August 17, 2012 @ 3:27 pm
Definitely socks!
Gilda Jackson said,
August 17, 2012 @ 3:27 pm
Shawls, shawls, shawls! I so love my shawls, but scarves are a close second.
Diane E said,
August 17, 2012 @ 3:28 pm
Socks, baby and toddler sweaters and hats, and fingerless mitts
Claire said,
August 17, 2012 @ 3:29 pm
I’ve definitely knit hats the most – dozens of baby hats, and now on to close to 7 adult hats to add to the pile!
valerie said,
August 17, 2012 @ 3:30 pm
socks. obviously.
Stephanie said,
August 17, 2012 @ 3:31 pm
Socks, without a doubt. If I don’t have a project in mind that I absolutely must knit right this second, I always default to sock knitting. I think shawls are starting to close the gap, though.
Denise said,
August 17, 2012 @ 3:32 pm
I love making toe-up socks. I think it’s mostly the beautiful yarn that keeps me thinking of “the next pair”. Thanks Sheri, for providing us with such beautiful inspiration.
Anna said,
August 17, 2012 @ 3:32 pm
I have knit piles of cotton dish cloths! I now only use one pattern that is my favorite and I have memorized.
Linda said,
August 17, 2012 @ 3:34 pm
Definitely shawls, including small shawlettes which have taken the place of scarves for me. Also enjoy fingerless gloves (which I wear) and hats (which I don’t wear so I donate.)
Rachelle said,
August 17, 2012 @ 3:34 pm
I just had a look at my projects and there are socks in every line, often more than one pair so definitely socks.
Lisa Soderman said,
August 17, 2012 @ 3:37 pm
I don’t have a lot knitting projects yet! Shawl, socks, scarf, cowl, vest and now a blanket.
. But crocheting! I have done just about everything lots of times!
judy r said,

Socks!
Peggy said,

Socks, socks, and more socks!!!! I’ve thrown in a few mittens, baby stuff, and a couple of shawls. But it always comes back to socks.
Emily said,
August 17, 2012 @ 3:43 pm
It’s still socks for me too, but I’ve really branched out this past year.
Ruth said,
August 17, 2012 @ 3:43 pm
Socks and shawls with shawls perhaps having a slight edge.
ccr in MA said,
August 17, 2012 @ 3:43 pm
Socks, I’m pretty sure! I’m on pair #21. Scarves+shawls might top it, if we could count pre-Ravelry days, but in the Rav era, socks.
Carol said,
August 17, 2012 @ 3:50 pm
Definitely socks for me. I just started another pair this afternoon. I have over 100 pairs of handknit socks (many also of handspun yarn). It’s a bit crazy. Beaded wrist warmers are next but they are so fast that they almost don’t count. I have also knit a few too many shawls but it’s nice to have just the right one for every occasion.
Jan said,
August 17, 2012 @ 3:50 pm
Definitely scarves…but shawls/wraps are catching up!
Davida said,
August 17, 2012 @ 3:54 pm
Socks!! I am addicted to knitting them. I have tried to get into other things, there are so many lovely things that I could knit….but I am happiest with my socks.
Abby M said,
August 17, 2012 @ 3:54 pm
I would say socks. Love them sooooo much – I have about 30 pairs I think
GerryART said,
August 17, 2012 @ 4:01 pm
Sox, Sheri. Far and away it’s SOX! Fifty plus pair and more on the way!
Shawls are not far behind.
Love TLE ! ! ! ! !
hugs
Laura said,
August 17, 2012 @ 4:02 pm
It has to be shawls, though baby blankets are a close second! (SO many people having babies!)
Socks are starting to climb the list though!
Marianna said,
August 17, 2012 @ 4:05 pm
I mix it up but since I restarted knitting I would have to say hats since I do a lot of charity work.
Sidney said,
August 17, 2012 @ 4:11 pm
Shawls, shawlettes, and hats! Thanks for the chance to win some Wollmeise!
Jaime said,
August 17, 2012 @ 4:13 pm
Definitely scarves!
sue said,
August 17, 2012 @ 4:15 pm
Socks, always socks. But my Mom likes knitted dishclothes (the cotton ones that are increased by yo’s), so I’ve knit a fair number of them too!
Ellen said,
August 17, 2012 @ 4:16 pm
Mittens it is!
Anne said,
August 17, 2012 @ 4:18 pm
Although its been a summer of shawls and scarfs, I looked at Ravelry and see that socks outnumber all other projects.
Ruby said,
August 17, 2012 @ 4:20 pm
I do SHAWLS the most and not all of them are in my Rav projects pages. But I love shawls coming and going.
Pattie said,

Socks for me. Second will be sweaters.
Elaine said,

Socks – fancy plain mindless intricate & ONE pair from my own handspun
Eunice said,
August 17, 2012 @ 4:44 pm
I knit the most scarves and then sweaters. No socks for me.
Wanda said,

Susie said,
August 17, 2012 @ 4:51 pm
Socks for me!
Judi said,
August 17, 2012 @ 4:52 pm
For me socks win out followed by shawls. I usually have one large project on my needles like a sweater or afghan and break it up by making socks or shawls. My big project take longer but i enjoy working on them more.

I’ve knit a LOT of socks
Kim K. said,
August 17, 2012 @ 4:58 pm
Scarfs/shawls are knit the most, but I would love to see socks catch up in number. I too suffer from second-sock-syndrome.
Robin said,
August 17, 2012 @ 5:04 pm
Socks … 85 pair and counting!
Kym Hretz said,
August 17, 2012 @ 5:05 pm
Socks! Maybe hats! Maybe scarves! Maybe shawls! I knit a lot!
Linda said,
August 17, 2012 @ 5:06 pm
I knit sweaters more than anything else. No wonder I don’t get many projects done!
Kim Bradley said,
August 17, 2012 @ 5:08 pm
Socks!
Debby G. said,
August 17, 2012 @ 5:09 pm
Socks and scarves!
Sue Stamm said,
August 17, 2012 @ 5:09 pm
I knit mostly socks! Love them. They’re small, portable, and can certainly challenge me when I want an intricate pattern.
tayloe said,
August 17, 2012 @ 5:10 pm
scarves!
Suzanne said,
August 17, 2012 @ 5:12 pm
I would say shawls with baby items second. Pre Ravelry, I made baby blankets for all relatives having children and then baby sweaters and hats for relatives and non relatives. I think if I counted up all of them the shawls and baby items would be pretty close.
Christine Dinsmore said,
August 17, 2012 @ 5:21 pm
Shawls for sure!
Leigh Ann said,
August 17, 2012 @ 5:26 pm
Hats – and then scarves… but number of socks is climbing
Chris F-F said,
August 17, 2012 @ 5:28 pm
Without a doubt, I have knit more shawls than anything, followed by scarves. I’ve not yet knit a pair of socks, although I hear once you knit a pair of mittens socks are a breeze (and I’ve knit mittens). I intend to change the Ero socks knit this year.
Staci J said,
August 17, 2012 @ 5:33 pm
Socks! Definitely socks.
shayla said,
August 17, 2012 @ 5:37 pm
Socks but shawls are catching up!
Sherry said,
August 17, 2012 @ 5:43 pm
I started knitting socks almost immediately, because I love sock yarn. In the past year or two I discovered lace weight and now I always have at least one shawl on the needles… as socks wear out, I think the two project types will approach parity.
Pamela said,
August 17, 2012 @ 5:54 pm
Socks- there’s always someone to give those to.
Teresa W said,
August 17, 2012 @ 5:54 pm
socks!!!!!!!
Melissa G said,
August 17, 2012 @ 5:54 pm
Socks for sure. Lots and lots of socks!
Kristen said,
August 17, 2012 @ 5:54 pm
Definitely socks here!
Alyssa said,
August 17, 2012 @ 5:55 pm
Definitely socks. Over 50 pairs!
Tracey Hill said,
August 17, 2012 @ 5:56 pm
My first thought was WIPs, however ir would be blankets and scarves.
Sharon said,
August 17, 2012 @ 5:56 pm
Probably sweaters, but socks, scarves, blankets, and hats would be really close, too!
Tammy Ellison said,
August 17, 2012 @ 5:59 pm
Socks by far the most, second is shawls
Joan said,
August 17, 2012 @ 5:59 pm
UFO’s and froggables… Most FO’s are scarves though.
Erin said,
August 17, 2012 @ 5:59 pm
Socks! I am addicted!
Kristen said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:00 pm
I love knitting socks!
Angela said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:00 pm
Socks and shawls for me – probably a few more pairs of socks than shawls.
Sue A said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:00 pm
My answer is knitted socks. Thank you!
Leta said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:01 pm
Socks for me. I am addicted to knitting them.
Prairie Poet said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:01 pm
Surprisingly, if I combine baby and adult sweaters, I’ve knit more sweaters than anything else. Scarves and mittens come in next I think. Thank you!
Diana T said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:02 pm
Socks beat out shawls by a narrow margin…
Tina Kasimer said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:02 pm
Sweaters for me!
Gillian Rodgers said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:02 pm
Socks. I am currently working on my 20th pair!
After that, hats (16), and scarves.
Camille said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:03 pm
Socks! No question about it.
KarenM said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:03 pm
Most definitely socks. I always have 4 or 5 (or 6) going.
Leanne L said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:04 pm
I’ve knit mostly toys over the years, but this year I’ve mostly been knitting socks and shawls.
Sue said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:04 pm
Socks. My doctor asked me if I have a different lair for every day of the year, so now I have a goal — LOL
Shawls are a close second
Liz said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:06 pm
socks far and away!! i’ve branched out a lot more this year, knitting my first and second adult size sweaters – and i just started a third. maybe by this time next year sweaters will take the crown.
eve said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:07 pm
Socks! They are so easy to carry around
Cathie said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:08 pm
I love lace shawls! They’re my favorite to knit but hats are a close second.
Lisa said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:08 pm
Scarves!! I love to knit scarves with beads!
Maija said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:09 pm
Socks! I can go all winter without wearing any store-bought ones.
Ana said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:09 pm
Knitty’s Thuja. It’s been a default gift pattern for years, and I’ve knit over 20 pairs! By extension, I knit more socks than anything else.
Evelyn said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:10 pm
Mostly hats and socks. But sweaters are sneaking up thick and fast. I love a handknit sweater! Especially in this Melbourne (Australia) winter!
Kat said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:11 pm
So far for me it’s scarves. But I’ve only been knitting for a couple of years and there are so many other things I want to knit – sweaters, shawls, gloves, socks – and of course, more scarves!
Kim said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:13 pm
I seem to keep coming back to shawls. I enjoy lace, and they make great gifts!
Kelly said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:13 pm
Socks! Perfect for short attention spans like mine!
Jeannette said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:13 pm
Socks. Always socks. Even though we spend quite a bit of the year too hot for shoes.
Karen Bolton said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:13 pm
Shawls – prayer shawls , shawls for me and working on a Christmas gift now.
Cecilia David said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:14 pm
Shawls by far!!!!
I love the challenge and Wendyknits are my favorite.
Karen VR said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:15 pm
I think I have knit the most socks, but shawls are starting to push a close second.
Kate b said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:16 pm
For me, I think it’s shawls, but baby blankets may be close.
kelly-ann (ravelry) said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:16 pm
Socks! I did lose a little sock mojo last year, but it returned this year
Lucy Portland said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:16 pm
Socks. I want to be able to wear nothing but hand-knitted socks.
Kris C said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:16 pm
Hats, followed by cowls and scarves.
Monique said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:17 pm
Socks! I’m working on knitting 100 pairs and I’m up in the 70′s now. Love, love, love socks!
Kristi ~ Ohio said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:17 pm
Definitely socks. They are very portable. Then shawls.
Donna Gerber said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:18 pm
It would have to be scarves, although I’ve knit tons of socks in my head. My stash of sock yarn proves that!
Lynn said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:19 pm
Socks! And that is why I am know as Sockdiva!!!
Suzanne said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:20 pm
Before this year it was sweaters. Then I found out how fun sock are with the magic loop method.
Heather Nyack said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:20 pm
Sock is what I have done most: hats and then baby clothes for 2 & 3
. Just starting to get into shawls.
Vasiliki said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:20 pm
Socks for me. The first one took forever to get through but I have been hooked ever since!
Lisa B said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:21 pm
I’d say shawls right now. I’m finishing number 9 for the year right now. Overall, though, sock would win hands down! My kids fight over who’s going to get the next pair! The wilder the better for both of them and their families! The husband likes plain socks – boring!!!
hariamrit khalsa said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:21 pm
I knit lots and lots of socks. I find them the most relaxing. Due to economic circumstances I have been forced to knit from my stash. lucky for me I have mostly sock yarn. There is always a silver lining.
Jen said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:21 pm
Socks and scarves. I think I need to branch out.
Codi said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:23 pm
Definitely hats, I knit a different hat for my son every month to coordinate with a fun holiday. Then of course I had to knit hats for friends who saw his cute hats, so the hat count is very high!
Lynda said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:24 pm
Socks. Definitely socks. I started knitting them about five years ago, and I now have a raging addiction.
Jennifer said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:25 pm
Socks with shawls coming in second!
Jane said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:25 pm
Shawls and shawlettes!!
Diane said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:25 pm
I first thought Sweaters….but then I remembered I used to knit scarves…lots of them so that is my answer…scarves
Britni said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:25 pm
Socks! My go to project and easy car knitting.
Windy said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:26 pm
I would say both socks and scarves.
Jessica E said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:26 pm
Socks and baby items, definitely.
Christine (Kallieen) said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:26 pm
Well, in terms of pure numbers…..hexipuffs!
In terms of FOs….shawls.
Karen fogel said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:27 pm
Shawls it seems!
Angie said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:27 pm
small toys, or fingerless mitts
VickiB said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:28 pm
I think over the years it would probably have to be sweaters. More of those than just about anything else.
Rebecca said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:29 pm
I thought it would be hats, but looking at my projects, I have tones of neck items: scarves, shawls, and cowls. Surprising as scarves aren’t a favorite to knit, but I have been on a cowl kick lately, and seem to keep getting drawn to shawls as well. They lend themselves well to gift knitting, and I seem to do a lot of that.
Heather N said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:29 pm
I have probably knit more socks then anything, because they are the easy mindless portable project. Second to that is most likely scarves/cowls, I love them and they make great easy gifts.
Rebecca said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:30 pm
Hats and socks!
Mary said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:30 pm
Lately it has been stranded mittens. Socks are a close second!
Megan said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:31 pm
I’ve knit more hats than anything. I’m obsessed quick easy and they come in so many styles.
elaine p said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:31 pm
Socks for me its so easy to pick up a skein of sock yarn here, a skein there and not have to worry about getting enough to make that sweater or larger project plus socks are so portable!
lorent said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:32 pm
I think I’m probably tied between socks and sweaters, but only because I didn’t start knitting socks until I’d already been knitting for about 13 years. Now I have so many socks I can wear a fresh pair every day for two months.
Lauren said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:33 pm
Definitely scarves or baby items.
Kim W said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:33 pm
Socks and scarves for me!
Mary said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:35 pm
Socks top the list with shawls coming in second.
Sonya said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:35 pm
I’m kind of surprised that mine is scarves. I don’t really like to knit them, it takes too long. I’ve given away most of the ones I’ve made.
Ambie said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:37 pm
Socks. Definately socks. I always have a plain vanilla sock in my purse.
Maria said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:38 pm
That’s a hard question. Recently (last few years) it’s socks. But since I started, years ago? It’s a pretty mixed bag of sweaters, shawls, and socks.
Paulette said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:38 pm
Yes, I do like your contests!! Mostly scarves….but I have branched out into other knitting!!
Megan B. said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:38 pm
60 some Tinies from Anna Hrachovec’s patterns! Besides those, socks.
Patti said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:41 pm
I’ve made dozens of socks…definitely the most.
Katiedo said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:41 pm
Socks!
Kathy M said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:42 pm
Definitely socks (15 pr for me alone in my sock drawer!), but I’m trying to branch out this year with shawls and sweaters. So many ideas, so little time!
Heather S. said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:42 pm
I’m going to have to go with hats. And I do like your contests as well!
Jess said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:43 pm
Overall, it’s definitely socks. But lately it feels like baby items – everyone around me is pregnant!
Eli said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:43 pm

Courtney said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:43 pm

August 17, 2012 @ 6:44 pm
i must echo all the sock people! socks for me too with some dishcloths thrown in
Wendy said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:44 pm
It used to be scarves, then shawls and now I am moving onto cardigans! YAY! What a great excuse to buy larger quantities of yarn!! WOO HOO!
BigAshDog said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:46 pm
Hats, shawls and dishcloths. I am still a new sock knitter.
Teresa K said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:47 pm
I’d say scarves. From rectangles to shawlettes….
Chelsey said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:48 pm
It would be scarves for me. I want to move on, but school has kept me too busy. Someday soon!
Beverly said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:49 pm
Definitely socks….or shawls. I’m not sure! I’d have to count, but my guess is socks. But maybe it’s shawls. Do I have to go count? I’d love to win some WM Lace! I’ve never used it before. I’d count if I won.
Lynn said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:49 pm
Definitely socks! I need to finish that one CPH, though.
Kay said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:50 pm
I think socks and toys are a tie for me. I really like socks more, though.
Marseille said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:52 pm
socks for me. definitely…..
JulieM said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:52 pm
Socks. But, shawls are a close second.
Kim said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:52 pm
Well, if you look at my Ravelry info it’s definitely shawls. The real answer is somewhat more confusing. I’ve been knitting since I was 8, and over those years I would say I’ve made more sweaters than anything else. Over the past 5 years it’s a tie between socks and shawls.
Kristin said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:53 pm
I love a hat – quick and dirty, or full of cables and more complicated. Either way, it’s a great use of that one skein of yarn you’ve been saving forever.
Next up would be shawls. Love me some shawls!
Aimee said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:53 pm
Hats!!!!!

Emily said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:57 pm
About half my projects are socks, and the rest are a mix of sweaters, toys, shawls, scarves, blankets, etc.
amy arney said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:57 pm
Most definitely scarves! Both in knit or crochet…. Hats would have to be a very close second. My family and friends are pimped out every winter!
Kay said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:58 pm
Definitely shawls. I’ve been bitten by the shawl bug!
Joanna said,
August 17, 2012 @ 6:59 pm
Socks! Without a second thought socks! I love ‘em. Sweaters, gloves, mittens and scarves round out the the bulk of my knitting. And a hat here and there.
Nicola said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:00 pm
Over my lifetime, it would be sweaters for sure.
Deb Henson said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:00 pm
Scarves. Everyone constantly beg for them.
Fern said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:00 pm
for sure sweaters, i have run out of storage room
Juana said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:01 pm
I have knitted more shawls than anything else. I love to cast off and have something that does not need sewing, finishing or anything. And love wearing them!!!
BETTY said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:03 pm
fingerless gloves and hats very small to very large. I LOVE LOOPY !!!!
Grace said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:03 pm
Definitely socks, but the shawls are catching up.
Jennifer Y said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:06 pm
Definitely scarves. It’s what I started knitting first as a child. I haven’t mastered sock knitting but I’m working on it!
Joyce said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:07 pm
For me it is definitely socks….I always have a pair going…..even if I am knitting something else as well.
Judy Njoku said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:08 pm
SOCKS!!!!!!!
Amy said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:09 pm
I just started less than a year ago and have tried socks, shawls, scarves, hats and 1 dishcloth! That dishcloth was project 1 and I was bored with it! I like hats – they are quick and fun to wear or give, I think I have finished about 10. Hopefully I will try a sweater soon…
Maxine Linville said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:09 pm
It would be socks for me with sweaters a close second
Marie Booth said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:09 pm
Hands down – shawls!
Karen Cain said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:09 pm
Socks, socks, socks and then mittens!
sarah said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:10 pm
Shawls. Hands down. There’s always one on the needles
Susan said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:11 pm
I think I’m about even between socks and scarves. Cowls and Fingerless mitts are 2nd in frequency.
catspaw said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:12 pm
Shawls I think, followed by socks, scarves, mittens, hats, sweaters….
Nina said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:12 pm
I’ve definitely knit socks the most. They are my go to project! I’m starting to work on some sweaters now though.
Lugarda Cappetta said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:12 pm
Has to be socks. I’ve probably knit about 150 pairs and given most of them away.
Kristy said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:12 pm
Socks for me! But I have knitted a lot of hats too. Thanks for the giveaway!
Cori in KS said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:14 pm
Looks like Baby items–booties, hats, and wee sweaters–wins out in my Ravelry project numbers (about 50)… Followed by socks and sweaters, with about 40 entries each…
Paula said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:15 pm
Socks and scarves for me.
Joanne M said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:16 pm
Mostly socks and shawls. Catching up with scarves!
Sarah F. said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:19 pm
Footwear! Socks of course, but also slippers… lots and lots of felted clog slippers.
Virginia said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:19 pm
I’m really bad about updating my ravelry FO’s but I’m pretty sure I knit more hats than anything else but not by too much. I like knitting just about everything – though I’m better at starting afghans than I am at finishing them. Think I’ve got about 3 lying around right now…
Elinor said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:21 pm
Definitely socks. I have probably 50 pairs stored away in the closet, waiting for winter to make an appearance (which it didn’t, this last time it was expected to).
Connie said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:22 pm
Shawls & socks
Anne said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:29 pm
Socks! But shawls and fingerless mitts are catching up!
Sandy McCause said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:30 pm
Its evenly split right now between shawls and hats.
Dawn said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:31 pm
Shawls, by a big margin! Although if I keep up the baby knitting it is going to be sweaters!!
linda said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:34 pm
Socks most definitely.
jeannie-maree said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:35 pm
hats hats hats, i am known as the hat lady
though i am starting to catch up with fingerless mitts
cassidy said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:37 pm
Well… I am surprised, I have a tie. I knit a lot of hats and triangle lace shawls….who knew! I have exactly equal number of them on my project page!
this is fun having a month of contests…I hope I win this round!!
Maria said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:38 pm
Sweaters in the round!
Kathryn said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:41 pm
Socks, definitely. They fit easily in my purse for knitting on my daily commute, and they’re something I wear when they’re done.
Courtney said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:45 pm
Cowls
Tina said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:47 pm
Shawls and sweaters!!
Julie said,

Socks, socks and more socks!
Mary M said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:48 pm
Socks for me also and I was one of those knitters that was never going to knit socks!
Theresa said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:49 pm
Shawls, hands down.
karen said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:50 pm
Socks!
Cheryl said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:50 pm
To be totally honest up until I discovered Loopy Ewe and the Loopy Challenges and Camp Loopy all I knit was socks and an baby set here and there.
Diane Brown said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:52 pm
Has to be socks for me too. I think lace would be next — not only shawls but baby things (blankets, sweaters, hats, but always lace involved), and a sweet Bride’s Sachet (purse).
Heather M. said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:54 pm
In the last 12 months, I have knit in a lot of shawls. In my knitting career, I’ve knit a lot of hats.
Sara said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:58 pm
Socks, but shawls are closing in.
Kim said,
August 17, 2012 @ 7:59 pm
Definitely socks! I love being able to indulge in all kinds and colors of yarn and ending with a usable finished pair of socks.
Plus now I want to only wear hand knit socks. If the rest of my family only knew how great they feel!
Kara said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:00 pm
I am pretty sure that shawls/scarves are the number one thing I’ve knit. Maybe fingerless mitt
Kara said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:02 pm
(ahem, the iPad finished my comment for me before I was done).
As I was saying…fingerless mitts are probably a close second to the shawls and scarves.
I do still love the socks, but for some reason a single pair takes me FOREVER, so I don’t get those finished as often, even though I pretty much always have a pair on the needles.
mary anne said,

Socks! For hubby, me and a friend. i’m addicted to socks – especially if they have colowork. 2nd would be sweaters
Andrea said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:07 pm
Cowls are what I have the most finished projects for, though I have a ton of shawls on the needles.
Loraine Boyce said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:09 pm
Socks and shawls for me! I looked on my ravelry page and they are almost even.
Christel said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:12 pm
Scarves and shawls! I give most of them away so I have little to show for it. But I do enjoy the process.
Amy Mac said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:14 pm
Over my lifetime, I would have to say sweaters…but over the past 3-4 years I’d say shawls
Joni said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:16 pm
Shawls, apparently, though I would have guessed socks before checking my Ravelry project list.
Ruth said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:17 pm
Socks, socks, socks!
Ann said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:19 pm
For me it’s socks, but shawls are rapidly closing in. Ok, maybe not that rapidly…
Karen said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:21 pm
Right now, it is shawls, but, judging from my sock yarn stash, I should pick up the pace on socks.
Lynne Ellinwood said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:22 pm
It’s hard to say, because I’ve knitted a lot of sweaters, shawls, and socks. But probably I’ve knitted more socks than anything else, because they’re the smallest project.
Sharon said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:23 pm
Over my whole life it would be sweaters (and vests) but lately I’ve been knitting shawls.
Pamela said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:23 pm
What do I knit the most? I would love to say that I knit something wonderful… shawls, socks, mittens, etc. Something wonderful that kept a loved one war and cozy all winter.
The reality is that what I knit the most is toys. I knit lots of toys. Everyone in my family has some little toy that I have made them. Turkeys, sheep, snowmen, dolls. There is something wonderful about the softness in a person’s face when they receive a toy. It is amazing.
Maybe some day my family members will be able to stay warm.
Kathleen said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:31 pm
Socks for me.
Elianna said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:32 pm
socks barely beat shawls for me!
RichelleCK said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:35 pm
I think it would be pretty close between socks and shawls. If you counted total number of stitches or counted each sock separately, socks would win.
Annette said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:35 pm
I think I’ve knit more sweaters than anything. I don’t have everything listed in Ravelry, but that was primarily what I knit before Ravelry existed. I would love to win some wollmeise!
Candace said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:35 pm
Overwhelmingly socks!!
marina said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:37 pm
probably socks!
Ashley R. said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:37 pm
It seems that shawls/wraps are the winner! But just by a hair.
Vicki said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:40 pm
Love the weekly contests! I have knit more shawls/scarves than anything. Socks are a close second.
Kerrie said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:41 pm
No doubt about it, hands down – SOCKS! Between my four kids, hubs and myself, socks are forever on the needles (and feet!)
Carla in MT said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:43 pm
socks!! definitely!! It also seems to be the item I finish the most!
OHSue said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:45 pm
Almost exclusively socks, I love the whole process of sock knitting.
Linda said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:49 pm
Scarves and shawls.
Elsie in MD said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:51 pm
I would have to say knitted socks although baby things would be a close second.
HeatherP said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:52 pm
Shawls and scarves would have to be tied at first for me, I think.
Samantha said,
August 17, 2012 @ 8:53 pm
Shawls! And then sweaters. And then socks. Who’d a thunk it?

Hats, scarves, baby blankets too, but socks are what light my fire.

Hats and socks for me!
Karen Lynn Wiebusch said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:01 pm

Diane said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:03 pm
The socks outnumber the hats four to one.
Debbie said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:05 pm
BLANKETS AND SCARVES.
Amber said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:08 pm
definitely hats! followed closely by shawls/scarves.
Janet said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:10 pm
Shawls, shawls, and wraps. I have made them for nearly every friend and relative I have!
Karen said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:10 pm
It’s a tie between sweaters and shawls!
Kathie said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:10 pm
I’d have to say that I am pretty even on socks, shawls, hats, and baby sweaters.
Abby said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:14 pm
Socks are the winner! Although they are closely followed by hats and scarves/shawls. And the shawls win by sheer mass – there are fewer of them because when I knit them they are way bigger than the socks, and take far longer
.
Jennie said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:21 pm
I think hats, with socks coming in second. I love scarves, but I usually end up knitting cowls instead, they just go faster and I love fast projects.
Mary Kay said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:21 pm
Socks!!!
SpindleImp said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:22 pm
For me it would have to be jumpers (sweaters). I think I was 14 when I knitted my first one and have knitted myself a new one nearly every year since. That’d be 40 years worth of jumpers.
denise said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:32 pm
I think I have knit fowls the most and hats a close second!
Glenda said,

Socks. Portable and interesting and very usable.
Kat Jorgensen said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:42 pm
Shawls for sure! But I have a lot of unfinished sweaters. I get bored by the time I get to the sleeves – so I’m trying to do them first – but it didn’t help. I always get bored about 60-70% through. Hmm…this was interesting. Thanks, Sheri!
Leslie said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:44 pm
Shawls for me. My last one a beautiful pink Madelinetosh from The Loopy Ewe!
M Moriarty said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:45 pm
Pretty much a tie between hats and scarves.
Martina said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:46 pm
I think I have knitted ‘tops’ more than anything, including everything from tanks to jackets. More though, I’ve knitted at least 1/3 of everything I’ve done for my daughter. That’s about double what I’ve knit for myself. Since I started knitting socks, however, that may be changing. Regardless, I started with hats and mitts, and now do mostly garments and socks.
gerri said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:56 pm
I have mostly knit socks.For family and friends and for myself.
Kacy said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:56 pm
Assuming that individual hexipuffs for the beekeeper’s quilt do NOT count, I would say I’ve knit more wool soakers for cloth diapers than anything else. This is simply due to having 2 children, shortly after learning to knit. Now that I’m no longer doing baby knitting, I tend to knit mostly socks, for myself and for gifts.
barbara penatzer said,
August 17, 2012 @ 9:57 pm
mine would be scarves and shawls…a few scharfs……since my scarves are so big
Sarah said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:02 pm
Sweaters. That was the second thing I knit (using EZ’s knitting workshop book), and for decades that was practically all I knit. I couldn’t see spending the money on wool for anything else. But in the past few years I’ve branched out to shawls, hats, scarves, and even socks. Oh, and I’ve started making toys – such fun! Thanks for the contests!
patricia said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:08 pm
Hmmm, it’s a toss-up between socks and hats, but I think I’ve done more socks. don’t know how many pairs..
Eleanor said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:19 pm
I knit lots of socks (plain for my husband and dad, patterned for my sister and I), colorwork mittens, and children’s hats for charity.
Suzanne said,

Martha said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:31 pm
I haven’t knit that long. Just 5 years, but if I could count everything it would probably be scarves. Now I love to knit shawls.
Lori said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:36 pm
Sweaters then socks followed closely by shawls. But I’ve been knitting for almost 40 years.
Samantha said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:36 pm
Its all about socks for me. I need to wear sock every day for some portion of the year, so its a super practical knit, as well as super fabulous for the sensitive foot kind of girl.
Bonnie said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:36 pm
Shawls by a long lead then socks and mitts.
Bev said,
August 17, 2012 @ 10:56 pm

August 17, 2012 @ 11:02 pm

Stephanie Carter said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:19 pm
Definitely hats! I have a very short attention span and I don’t knit very quickly, so hats fit me (LOL) best.
EAPatterson said,
August 17, 2012 @ 11:26 pm
Anything for the kitchen – Potholders, hotpads, dishcloths and towel toppers.

I’ve knit sooo many shawls!
Paula said,
August 18, 2012 @ 12:44 am
Socks. I have knit almost 25 pairs – not bad for a person who swore that socks were too hard in the beginning. Shawls and scarves are next, followed by fingerless mitts,with sweaters bringing up the rear.
catherine s said,
August 18, 2012 @ 12:51 am
shawls, including six “clapotis”
Nadknitblog said,

I knit them for my family so for Christmas for example I need around 10 pairs…. And socks are so much fun!!
HelenW said,
August 18, 2012 @ 2:03 am
Socks. There’s just so much gorgeous sock yarn and so many lovely patterns – I want to knit them all! I’ve also knitted a lot of baby items – cardigans and hats, etc.
Ellen said,

I always am knitting socks.
But I had to count just to see.
I’ve knit 32 pairs of socks since I learned. But surprisingly, a close second was sweaters at 27!
Mary said,
August 18, 2012 @ 5:10 am
Right now its a tie between socks and baby sweaters!
Andrea Hall said,

Wendy said,
August 18, 2012 @ 5:29 am
I have definitely knit more socks than anything else. Love knitting socks! Hats come in a close second. I discovered lace over the last year and am having lots of fun with it. Happy Aniversary!!!
Beth Gray said,
August 18, 2012 @ 5:29 am
Shawls, for sure, although I guess if I count all the hats I’ve done for the military, perhaps those would win out….
Cheryl said,
August 18, 2012 @ 5:31 am
Socks by far. My grandson loves grandma’s hand knit socks.
Laurie said,
August 18, 2012 @ 5:42 am
I’m definitely a sock person. Per hour, per FO, any way you want to count it!
Kathleen said,
August 18, 2012 @ 5:49 am
Socks! And I wear them exclusively – can’t find a better foot covering than handknit socks.
Elaine said,
August 18, 2012 @ 5:57 am
I actually knit more sweaters. I have 2 beautiful granddaughters that I love to knit for. Socks comes in second….Happy Knitting
Theresa Nunes said,

Baby blankets by far. Hope to make it shawls!
Pam said,

I love knitting shawls and afghans the most. Getting hooked on socks. I ave the Evenstar Shawl on my mind.

August 18, 2012 @ 6:09 am

Socks!
Janet B said,

Shawls, shawlettes, then socks. I must update my Ravelry projects pages so that other people can determine that I am actually a productive knitter.
Tiffani said,
August 18, 2012 @ 6:21 am
Socks. Definitely socks. I love them. Once I got over the fear of stabbing my eyes out with dpns I was hooked.
Ruth Anne said,
August 18, 2012 @ 6:22 am
Things that go around my neck – scarves, shawls, cowls. That’s really almost all I knit these days!
Lacey said,
August 18, 2012 @ 6:37 am
I have definitely made more scarves! I don’t know whether I’ve knit or crocheted more to be honest. I whip up basic ones to sell in a local craft fair so I make lots of them!
Jo Ann Patterson said,
August 18, 2012 @ 6:55 am
Like most people I have to say socks, but shawls are a close second.
Arlene Strawn said,
August 18, 2012 @ 7:07 am
It’s socks for me, by a long shot!!
Terri Derrick said,
August 18, 2012 @ 7:10 am
Scarves of rme. I would love to knit more socks – but they still overwhlem me. I’ll keep them on the back burner. I have several shawls I want to make and the Ishbel is one because of your posts about the ones you made.
Michelle said,
August 18, 2012 @ 7:12 am
Definitely still socks for me. Don’t think anything else will ever catch up.
Melodie said,
August 18, 2012 @ 7:16 am
That’s definitely an easy one for me to answer! Shawls!
Jessica said,

Hats – 47 hats so far and another on the needles right now. I don’t even wear hats!
Most are for charity and I try to make each one different and fun.

August 18, 2012 @ 7:31 am

DONNA said,
August 18, 2012 @ 7:41 am

Joyce said,
August 18, 2012 @ 7:44 am
Definitely scarves and shawls, with shawls probably winning out.
Christine said,
August 18, 2012 @ 7:49 am
I love making cardigans…they take forever, but I wear them everyday!
Yvonne in AL said,
August 18, 2012 @ 7:53 am
Definitely shawls, although I am trying to branch out into other projects!
Bets said,
August 18, 2012 @ 8:01 am
Shawls, shawls and more shawls, with a hat, scarf, sweater, blanket, thrown in for good measure, and did I mention shawls?
Kathy C said,
August 18, 2012 @ 8:04 am
Comfort shawls would be the most and then give away hats and mittens and then warm-up america throws.Lace shawls are taking over now.
Liz said,
August 18, 2012 @ 8:12 am
blankets…just becasue of the large numbr of babies being born nearby. After that, scarves and hats, felted purses, shawls and socks! Lots of shawls and socks this year.
Dana said,
August 18, 2012 @ 8:17 am
I think that I have probably knit the most shawls and kid sweaters!
Sarah said,
August 18, 2012 @ 8:20 am
Strangely it’s been small toys and accessories. The urge to entertain my 2 year old has been overwhelming. She DID get the first pair of socks I ever made.
Monica said,
August 18, 2012 @ 8:31 am
don’t even need to check Rav– it’s socks for sure!
Linda said,
August 18, 2012 @ 8:38 am

Mark me down as yet another sock-obsessed knitter. Warm feet for everyone!
Stacey W said,
August 18, 2012 @ 8:53 am
Socks, definitely!
Marguerite said,
August 18, 2012 @ 8:57 am
I knit a Lot of hats and scarves/shawls. Almost exclusively. Sweaters seem like such a big commitment, both time and money, and socks seem tedious to me. Plus, I like one size fits most sorts of things, since I have size 10 feet and a rather large bust.
Gail Roach said,
August 18, 2012 @ 8:59 am
Currently it is socks. When I first started working with yarn, it was afghans. Shawls or scarfs are currently number 2.
Hattie said,
August 18, 2012 @ 9:04 am
I believe I’ve knit more socks than anything else, but shawls are a close second. And the only thing that surpasses either of those would be that I’ve knit more designs by Anne Hanson than anything else!
Theresa said,
August 18, 2012 @ 9:13 am
Shawls, most certainly, but dishcloths with the TARDIS design seem to run a close second, given all the Dr. Who fans in my family!
Suzanne said,
August 18, 2012 @ 9:34 am
It’s a tie between shawls and socks!
Linda Shields said,
August 18, 2012 @ 9:35 am
Socks, for sure! At least 20 pairs a year for the last 9 years. Most of them are just ribbed “bread and butter” socks that I give away. A bit selfish perhaps – but the socks I knit from all those lovely patterns we have are for me – the socks I knit for “therapy” on long plane trips or waiting, I give away to anyone who’ll have them. Socks are my ‘meditation’. Salam wa sa’aadah
Lisa said,
August 18, 2012 @ 9:41 am
Socks! If I put scarves and shawls into the same category, they ran a close second. Thanks for the reminder to update my project photos.
Stephanie Mizelle said,
August 18, 2012 @ 9:55 am
Socks, socks, and more socks! My sock drawer overfloweth!,
Beth Bachuss said,
August 18, 2012 @ 9:56 am
Squares that can be used as dishcloths or washcloths – I use a whole skein of cheap cotton and it winds up too big for a washcloth but too small for a dishcloth. They are great ‘walking around’ knitting because I use seed stitch and I don’t have to look at it. I do so many that I usually don’t even put them on Ravelry anymore. I use them for random acts of kindness – “want a washcloth?” or put them with a bar of handmade soap and tie with a ribbon for a small gift.
amberincolo said,
August 18, 2012 @ 10:06 am
shawls, especially lately
Mary K said,
August 18, 2012 @ 10:19 am
Overall it would be sweaters, but more recently shawls.
Linda R. said,
August 18, 2012 @ 10:21 am
Socks! though I do not have all my socks posted on my Rav project page, but you should see my sock drawer!
karen monroe said,
August 18, 2012 @ 10:22 am
Shawls, shawls, and more shawls. Karen
Kathy in KS said,
August 18, 2012 @ 10:32 am
That’s actually a tough one. I love to knit socks, and I know I’ve done many. But, having 5 boys, the oldest 14, I know I’ve also made many hats and mittens. Probably more hats than mittens. And I can’t rely on Ravelry for accuracy as (gasp!) I was making things long before Ravelry came around. So, I’ll have to go with hats and / or socks as the things I’ve made the most of.
And I love the contests! Makes me make sure I stop in while the baby’s sleeping to read the blog post!
Jane said,
August 18, 2012 @ 10:40 am
I would say that I have knit more hats.
Emily said,
August 18, 2012 @ 10:44 am
SOCKS!!!!!
Crystal said,
August 18, 2012 @ 10:47 am
I’ve definitely made more socks than anything. It’s my go to for buying random yarn and for when I need to cast on something new…
Diana Lassen said,
August 18, 2012 @ 10:53 am
I’ve probably knit over 400 sweaters in the 43 years I’ve been knitting. Now I’m into socks and shawls although I almost have a Swirl Sweater by Sandra McIver done.
That has been a real learning experience!
Les M. said,
August 18, 2012 @ 10:58 am
Socks, definitely, followed by fingerless gloves (usually from sock scraps
).
Sharon K said,
August 18, 2012 @ 11:04 am
Lots and lots of socks I always have a pair in progress at work for breaktime.
Mary said,
August 18, 2012 @ 11:18 am
Socks win. Knit with luxury yarns
I am starting to have quite a few shawls in my FO pile, but since I don’t really wear them and I wear socks frequently… I’ll keep up the higher ratio of socks!
Veronica K said,
August 18, 2012 @ 11:26 am
I’m going to say that I’ve knit more socks than anything else, but shawls are a very close second I think…
Alice said,
August 18, 2012 @ 11:27 am
I know I’ve not photo-ed everything either, but I believe it would probably have to socks. My goodness you have knit alot of socks. Not sure I will ever come close to that.
Pat said,
August 18, 2012 @ 11:30 am
Socks, definitely!!! Socks for me, socks for my family, socks for my friends, socks for babies!
Hannah G said,
August 18, 2012 @ 11:31 am
Either shawls or hats for me. Shawls, I think, judging by my parade of soon-to-be WIPs!
Kathleen Atwood said,
August 18, 2012 @ 11:35 am
I’ve made more socks than anything else, unless I go back to my twenties, in which all I did was sweaters, but I think socks would still win. Shawls are beginning to catch up though. I have years of designs lined up, and probably not time to wear them all!
Dawn'l Burns said,
August 18, 2012 @ 11:42 am
Socks, with fingerless mitts following closely behind.

Judy said,
August 18, 2012 @ 12:09 pm
Baby stuff!
Sue K said,
August 18, 2012 @ 12:28 pm
socks…overwhelmingly socks. The funny thing is that I like making them more then wearing them. Probably should consider gifting some. But I think the reason I like making them for myself is I have itty bitty feet and they go fast! And it is such fun working with patterned yarns!!!
Shannon said,
August 18, 2012 @ 12:37 pm
Either baby blankets or scarves, it’s a close one.
Kit said,
August 18, 2012 @ 1:06 pm
You know, I can never have too many socks but hats are starting to rule out the socks, something about how you can really spruce up the simple construction with colorwork, cables, and lace and it sits prominently on the head rather than tucked away under pantslegs and inside shoes.

I have to say I have knit / crochet shawls the most at this point. Unfortunately I haven’t been active on Ravelry until recently as far as posting projects so I had to go from memory lol

Shawls for me. Sweaters for my DDs. Cowls and fingerless mitts for gifts.
Michelle Martino said,

Hats…. definitely hats
Jeanne said,
August 18, 2012 @ 2:17 pm
I’m definitely a sock junkie! I always have at least two pairs on needles – one mindless plain “vanilla” sock and one that requires thinking. If I were stranded on a desert island, these are the two kinds of projects I would want with me!
Grace said,
August 18, 2012 @ 2:31 pm
I think I have mostly knitted shawls/shawlettes and socks. I just finished Ann Hanson’s maplewing using wollmeise lace…I LOVE it!
Matt said,
August 18, 2012 @ 2:36 pm
Socks overall, but lately it’s been shawls. 3 of them for camp loopy and some before that.
Roberta said,
August 18, 2012 @ 2:50 pm
Socks were my most knitted items but shawls are getting up there too!
Susanna said,
August 18, 2012 @ 2:57 pm
I’m pretty sure it would be socks, shawls and sweaters in that order.
Michelle R said,
August 18, 2012 @ 3:16 pm
I’m not sure that my project page reflects it, but I’d say scarves. I give a lot as gifts. And baby blankets. Although I’ve knit 3 shawls in the last 2 camps!
Karen said,
August 18, 2012 @ 3:44 pm
Cowls followed by mittens then hats.
Melissa said,
August 18, 2012 @ 3:46 pm
Probably socks. And I never knew I’d made as many as I have until I started making a blanket out of the leftovers and thought about all the socks I’d made.
Dixie said,
August 18, 2012 @ 3:57 pm
Has to be socks – I’ve probably knit close to 25 pair. They’re something I wear daily during the cold weather (well, as cold as it gets in the SF Bay Area). With so many patterns to choose from, and such luscious yarns that you entice me with, it continues to be fun.
Irene said,
August 18, 2012 @ 4:03 pm
Hum. I seem to swing the extremes. #1 for me is hats, followed by #2 sweaters/cardigans. If time and money weren’t an issue, I’d knit sweaters all day every day!!
Laura said,
August 18, 2012 @ 4:03 pm
Lately it has been mostly shawls.
Sharon M2 said,
August 18, 2012 @ 4:11 pm
Sweaters (and vests) are at the top of my list, followed by shawls. I have a ton of patterns and yarns for socks and mittens, but sweaters keep sliding up to the top of the queue!
Erin M. said,
August 18, 2012 @ 4:46 pm
I’ve knit more socks overall, but lately I’ve been knitting more small shawls that can be done with one skein of sock yarn.
Anna said,
August 18, 2012 @ 4:58 pm
I’ve knit a lot of baby bibs and baby booties as gifts for friends. They are generally appreciated and are quick to knit. (I like the satisfaction of finishing up a project.)
barbara c said,
August 18, 2012 @ 5:16 pm
I think I’m just about tied between socks and shawls for the items I’ve knitted most. Unfortunately though my project to do list just keeps getting longer faster than my already done list.
Ann said,
August 18, 2012 @ 5:22 pm
Socks – socks – socks!! With shawls a distant second.
Lani said,
August 18, 2012 @ 5:37 pm
For the last two years it’s been shawls! Before that it was probably socks.
Robyn said,
August 18, 2012 @ 5:46 pm
Definitely shawls, gloves, then hats for me. I still have yet to knit a sock, but it’s going to happen soon…
Donna said,
August 18, 2012 @ 5:51 pm
Definitely socks, but I think it’s because I have a short attention span.
Julie said,
August 18, 2012 @ 5:54 pm

Carol D. In Zion, IL said,
August 18, 2012 @ 6:32 pm

Socks and more socks.
Shana said,
August 18, 2012 @ 7:32 pm
Socks. Without a doubt, I knit socks the most. They’re small, travel friendly, and the possibilities are endless.
Kate said,
August 18, 2012 @ 7:46 pm
I wish the answer was socks…but lately all I seem to be knitting are baby blankets! I must be friends with a hutch of bunnies…
Cynthia Adkins said,
August 18, 2012 @ 7:47 pm
I would say cowls and fingerless gloves. I did the 11 fingerless gloves for 2011 challenge on Ravelry last year, and made more than the 11 needed for the challenge!
Mande Kuechenmeister said,
August 18, 2012 @ 8:34 pm
Right now it’s scarves, but I expect it to be socks very soon! I’ve recently learned and love them!
Veronica said,
August 18, 2012 @ 9:03 pm
Sweaters. The single pattern I have knit the most is the Wonderful Wallaby. 51 in various sizes.
Tabby said,
August 18, 2012 @ 9:16 pm
Mine is still socks, but other totals are beginning to catch up!

Marsha said,
August 19, 2012 @ 8:04 am
Once I started to knit shawls, I did fewere pairs of socks, shawls is what I do the most of: approx 24-28 in the last couple of years, though that’s not very many compared to some of those prolific knitters.
Dixie said,
August 19, 2012 @ 8:06 am
Socks. I don’t even need to check.
Oddly enough, scarves might be #2. Even though they pile up, they are as necessary here as socks…so as long as I don’t forget I have a particular scarf, it’ll get worn. Unlike some of my jumpers and cardis that get tossed by the wayside once they’re done…
Susan Whitener said,
August 19, 2012 @ 8:14 am
Thru the years, I think if counted it would be sweaters as number one, then socks and then scarfs and shawls. I love that you can count your’s on your project page, Sheri. I am starting to do that as well this year. Thank you for the wonderful contests during your anniversary month!
Syd said,
August 19, 2012 @ 8:23 am
Tons of shawls and scarves, but Socks are the winner for me. My God-mother and I wore the same size…very small feet, 5 1/2, so handknit socks are the only ones that fit us so that is what I did for years. She just passed away and I miss her so much, but always think of her as I knit myself socks.
Mischel said,
August 19, 2012 @ 8:45 am
Socks for me! Most definitely. However, I find myself moving towards shawls now
Cindy said,
August 19, 2012 @ 8:51 am
I have knit for many years and I think sweaters and socks number nearly the same. I don’t have all of my recent years projects pictured on Rav but I do have a drawer full of socks. A lot of the sweaters have come and gone but am working on some now. Shawls will soon be catching up.
Denise said,
August 19, 2012 @ 9:29 am
Mittens!
Sarah Jane said,
August 19, 2012 @ 9:32 am
Blankets would come in first as I’ve made a lot of them. Second would be shawls.

August 19, 2012 @ 11:21 am
I would have to say hats; between hats I have made for me, family, deploying soldiers, and most recently my new little grandson who is a preemie and outgrows his hats every couple weeks. Would love to make a lacy shawl!!
Deb from California said,
August 19, 2012 @ 11:25 am
It would have to be shawls, I love working with lace. I know my Ravelry pages aren’t up to date but counting on there, it would look like hats since I made so many a few years ago for Kristy’s Hat Project but I would have to say my go to project is lace so some Wollmeise lace would be loverly LOL
Jean said,
August 19, 2012 @ 11:53 am
SHAWLS! And there is more that I want to make.
Cyndi said,
August 19, 2012 @ 12:57 pm
hats because I give them out as gifts all the time! although, I can say you did make me look & I have made more things than I thought- more sweaters than I thought for sure! would love to make one out of some lace weight WM!
Jackie said,
August 19, 2012 @ 12:58 pm

I think shawls/scarves. Although I’ve made a bunch of slippers as gifts too!
Jane said,
August 19, 2012 @ 2:20 pm
Sweaters, then socks, now trending toward shawls

I’ve knit a lot of stuffed toys over the years, although lately I’ve really gotten into socks because they’re so portable!
Christy said,
August 19, 2012 @ 6:07 pm
It was scarves, but I think my socks have finally won out. I’ve knit quite a few blankets as well, but my favorites are still socks!
Ann said,
August 19, 2012 @ 6:20 pm
Scarves win!,

Socks…but recently I have been on a shawl knitting spree.
Cricket said,
August 19, 2012 @ 7:13 pm
I have to say bags of one type or another but thanks to some really good friends I am branching out with shawls and love them. I want to make a lace project you know one of the WOW ones.
Denise in NC said,
August 19, 2012 @ 7:25 pm
Without a doubt, shawls! My favorite part is blocking and seeing the design pop!
Kiki said,
August 19, 2012 @ 7:33 pm
Definitely socks for me, although shawls are catching up steadily.
In my mind, I want it to be hats, but it just hasn’t happened yet.
Elena said,
August 19, 2012 @ 7:38 pm
I mostly knit shawls, but have really enjoyed knitting socks recently as well.
Mary Beth said,

Shawls and sweaters… I think.
Stephanie Haitz said,

Socks, for sure , with shawls coming in a close second.

Blankets…..everybody’s babies and grandbabies deserve them!
Anne said,
August 19, 2012 @ 8:48 pm
I think it is socks, but cowls and shawls are in the mix too.
janita said,
August 19, 2012 @ 9:16 pm
over the lifetime it has probably been socks but the last couple of years the shawls are making a good showing.
Dee s said,
August 19, 2012 @ 9:39 pm
Definitely socks for me! Maybe because they travel so well.
Katy said,
August 19, 2012 @ 9:50 pm
Sweaters for me. That’s what I really wanted to make even when I first started to knit. Though more shawls/shawlettes recently because the patterns are so pretty. But I don’t wear them as much.
Tricia said,
August 19, 2012 @ 9:53 pm
Definitely scarves – love each and every one. It’s a great way to try out all kinds of yarn as well – 2 skeins most times. And I actually wear them too.
Julie said,
August 19, 2012 @ 9:57 pm
Definitely socks, but scarves come in a close 2nd.
Torre said,
August 19, 2012 @ 10:17 pm

Carrie A said,
August 20, 2012 @ 6:14 am
Surprisingly Hats are number one (17). Guess they are so small that they just sneak up on you. The runner up is Socks with 12 done+1wip. The rest are: Dishcloths (12), Scarfs (6+4wip), Mitts/Gloves (8), Shawls (6+2wip), Samplers (5+3wip), Toys (6), Sweaters (3+1wip), Blankets (2+1wip), & Others including 2 bibs, 2 hotwater bottle covers, 1 slippers, & 1 dog sweater.
Alicia said,
August 20, 2012 @ 6:29 am
Rav’s down at the moment, but, without being able to count, I’m guessing toddler sweaters for my nieces and socks for me, at least as far as completed projects go. Probably hats would be next.

Funnily enough, monster (toys)!
Karen said,

Recently, it’s got to be shawls and scarves.
Liz said,
August 20, 2012 @ 6:58 am
I’m awful at updating my projects on raverly. I knit everything pretty evenly, except hats. As I go through a mental count, I am surprised by how many hats I’ve made. Shrugs are a close second.
Kathy said,
August 20, 2012 @ 7:09 am
Socks, socks and more socks

It would have to be socks — with shawls running a close second.
Emily G said,
August 20, 2012 @ 7:24 am
I’ve gone through stages as my knitting knowledge has progressed:
I started with some pretty ugly scarves, followed by a lot of socks. Once I learned how to read a pattern I knit everyone I knew a hat. Plus a few extra for emergencies. Now I am onto shawls and cowls (anything involving lace!) and I hope to be into sweaters next!
Elena said,
August 20, 2012 @ 7:33 am
Socks of course
ojgirl said,
August 20, 2012 @ 8:16 am
Scarves and shawls – and blankets.
Lissa said,
August 20, 2012 @ 8:20 am
Probably scarves and shawls. At least I have been on a shawl bender as of late. And I have lots of holiday requests for those as well.
BUT I do plan on making my Hermione socks as soon as I get done with Camp Loopy.
ChristineK said,
August 20, 2012 @ 8:23 am
Hats! My Ravelry page doesn’t show it, but I’ve knitted (and crocheted) more hats than anything else.
Jane said,
August 20, 2012 @ 8:26 am
Shawls! I love them, but always find myself wearing the same one made out of 11 color ways of silk garden.
Ann said,
August 20, 2012 @ 8:27 am
Lace shawls and socks and usually one sweater each year.
Nichole said,
August 20, 2012 @ 8:30 am
Hats… because everyone needs a nice cozy topper, right?
Candace said,

Jo Anne said,

I have knit socks more than any other type of project.
Happy anniversary.
Gillian said,
August 20, 2012 @ 9:38 am
SOCKS!!! 18 pairs even. I love the small needles and the quick rounds.
Toys (usually made of sick yarn) are a close second.
Laura said,
August 20, 2012 @ 10:09 am
My knitting ADD really shows when I look at my Ravelry projects. I’m split between shawls/scarves and sweaters, with some socks, hats, gloves, blankets, and stuffed animals thrown in for good measure. Apparently if it can be knit, I want to knit it. (My husband would categorize that as a problem, but I’m gonna call it a personal strength!)
Diane said,
August 20, 2012 @ 10:23 am
I think it’s pretty evenly split between socks and shawls. I usually have one of each on the needles.
Krystal said,
August 20, 2012 @ 10:47 am
I have knit scarves the most. Mostly because they make my plain black coat look more interesting than it would be all by itself.
trisha said,
August 20, 2012 @ 11:03 am
I have knit mostly shawls., and crocheted mostly afghans.
Marie said,
August 20, 2012 @ 11:06 am
I think by now I’ve still probably knitted more pairs of socks than anything else although the shawls and crocheted baby blankets are creeping up in numbers. I haven’t been very good about updating my projects on Ravelry. Will have to do that one day.
Rachel D. said,
August 20, 2012 @ 11:11 am
I have definately knit socks the most. And hats next, probably. I want to do more shawls, and my first adult sweater soon!
Janene Reeves said,
August 20, 2012 @ 11:23 am
SOCKS, SOCKS, SOCKS, and more socks!
I LOVE knitting socks (can you tell?)
Bev said,
August 20, 2012 @ 11:26 am
I knit the most hats! But the most knitting is probably blankets, including blanket sixes shawls.
Maggie said,
August 20, 2012 @ 11:28 am
I have really started to branch out with my knitting, but to date my answer would have to be scarves. When my daughter was a senior in high school (2002) I knit a scarf for every girl in her graduating class. I had knit a scarf for her that all the girls loved so I said if they picked the color I’d buy the yarn and knit one for each of them. I’ve branched out into shawls, sweaters and baby hats. My daughter picks the pattern and yarn for the hat for a friend of hers who is pregnant, and I knit it for her to give as a gift. My next leap? Socks. Don’t like those double point needles, but I know if I master them, I’ll be able to branch out with other projects. I’m a magic loop gal for baby hats, but want to become comfortable with double points.
Suzanne said,
August 20, 2012 @ 11:29 am
Definitely scarves…. I think they’re very easy to make and doesn’t require too much time.
SUSAN DILEANIS said,
August 20, 2012 @ 12:01 pm
fingerless mittens, quick to make and a great gift.
karin said,
August 20, 2012 @ 12:03 pm
Socks definitely!?
im just lori said,
August 20, 2012 @ 12:19 pm
Hands down, it’s mitts. Mainly because I went through a Fetching phase, where I couldn’t stop knitting them. They’re quick gifts, always come out stunningly, and are welcomed by all recipients so far.
Liz turnipseed said,
August 20, 2012 @ 12:28 pm
Socks socks socks! Mostly stripey
Cherie said,
August 20, 2012 @ 12:28 pm
In the past, I knit a lot of washcloths, just because they were so quick. But recently I’ve made several afghans, from baby-sized to full.
Beth said,
August 20, 2012 @ 12:30 pm
Shawls, especially lace. I was bitten by the lace bug hard about 5 years and have knit very little else since.
Caroline said,
August 20, 2012 @ 12:36 pm
Socks, for sure! Portable, flexible for many designs, and you can always use another pair!
Rebecca said,
August 20, 2012 @ 12:43 pm
8 blankets, 8 cowls, 1 bookmark, 2 adult sweaters, 4 mittens/mitts/gloves, 4 booties/baby socks, 2 bags, 1 felted bowl, 21 hats, 1 lion, 1 snake, 1 poncho, 1 headband, 18 scarves/shawls, 1 chuppah, 19 socks….
Hats for the win with 21!
Jocelyn said,
August 20, 2012 @ 12:48 pm
For me it’s a tie between cowls and fingerless mittens! I love both and like to make matching sets for my family & friends
Marsha R. said,
August 20, 2012 @ 12:57 pm
I have done more Hats than anything. My Grandmother showed me her pattern for Baby hats and I have used it over and over.
Denese said,
August 20, 2012 @ 1:09 pm
I think I’ve done more shawls and scarves than anything else, at least in this, my second knitting life. In my first knitting life I did more sweaters. I have less time now.
When I get in a knitting slump I knit one dishcloth after another.
Andrea said,
August 20, 2012 @ 1:15 pm
I mostly knit sweaters
Judy Fizer said,
August 20, 2012 @ 1:18 pm
Socks have got to be first for me! With maybe a nod to shawls lately. If it can be done with a single skein, I’ll probably at least have the pattern in my queue.
AnneS said,
August 20, 2012 @ 1:23 pm
Definitly shawls & scarves – the lacier the better
Sarah said,
August 20, 2012 @ 1:37 pm
toys – hands down the think I knit the most b/c I like to give a lot of gifts to little kids. They are quick and satisfying.
I have more sweaters and shawls coming up on my radar though b/c I need to be a more selfish knitter.
Aimee said,
August 20, 2012 @ 1:58 pm
That’s tough…it still looks like mostly socks, with shawls running second
There’s unfortunately a huge swathe of time where I lost pictures, so it was hard to buzz through and estimate how much of what I’ve done.
Amie said,
August 20, 2012 @ 2:06 pm
I think socks and shawls win out but need to start tackling the sweaters a little more frequently

Shawls is my most frequent knit, I think I am addicted to knitting them.
Sherry Johnson said,

I have knit HUNDREDS of dishcloths. Not mt favorite thing to knit but I have a big family that loves them. Next would be socks.
Patricia said,
August 20, 2012 @ 3:09 pm
Socks by far. Shawls are fun to knit, but I don’t have many occasions to wear them. I prefer shawl patterns in scarf shapes.
Margie at Lavender Cottage said,
August 20, 2012 @ 3:13 pm
SOCKS!!! I just love the fact that someone is always asking about “what on earth are you making??” This year I have started shawls in a big way. I’m loving those too!!
Margie at Lavender Cottage said,
August 20, 2012 @ 3:18 pm
Oops! Forgot to tell all ya’ll that I went to the Mid-Ohio Fiber Festival this weekend and it was the best I’ve ever attended. I found the most wonderful yarn shops: Lost city Knits and Graces Mercantile. Lost City is out of Oklahoma and Graces is here in Ohio. Both have exception products and I highly recommend you check them out. So Sorry, Sheri…I just realized this was probably not PC but I bet you would say the same thing…in fact I bet you’d want to sell their products at Loopy. All in all it was a terrific weekend and I didn’t spend much since I’m out of work but it was really fun!!!
Sarah Warburton said,
August 20, 2012 @ 3:22 pm
socks and washcloths
Oraxia said,
August 20, 2012 @ 3:25 pm
Scarves, if only because that’s what I knitted pretty constantly when I first learned to knit. I’m working on having socks and shawls take over soon, though… Eventually. When I’m not going crazy at work.

Sweaters- Until recently that was all I knitted. But socks are rapidly catching up.

Socks and mittens are almost a tie for me.
Rasa said,

Definitely socks. They are so portable and easy to knit all year round (no heavy sweater on your lap during the summer)!

Socks are my most favorite thing to make and they’re what I make the most of. I always have a pair on the needles.
Kathy said,
August 20, 2012 @ 3:55 pm
socks by far, and always a whole pair, no single sock syndrome–yet!
Donna said,
August 20, 2012 @ 3:57 pm
Mostly scarves and then hats (many chemo caps) and baby blankets. I’ve completed one pair of socks — given away as a gift, and I have three more pairs on the needles now. I have a basket full of knitted bowls ready to felt for Christmas gifts.

I think it’s cowls: I knit a slough of ‘em one year for holiday gifts! And of course I kept a few too. Pretty soon I’ll be knitting a larger, infinity-style cowl for a buddy–can’t wait to see how it turns out!

I have knit more hats than anything else. Even with my sock yarn obsession hats win out.

Socks are, and will be, my number 1 go to project. I have plenty of handknit socks of my own so now I’m working on my other family member’s collection.

I’ve knit more sweaters than anything else. I’m a hardcore sweater knitter, but more and more I’ve been getting into socks.

Children’s sweaters for sure.

Socks but the shawls are catching up.
Laura said,

I love to knit “new” patterns and techniques. I often tell myself, “NO MORE SHAWLS”, but I can’t help myself-I love shawls, shawl patterns and the “easiness” of shawl knitting.:-). I have knit several sweaters, many socls, hats, purses (felted and not), dish clothes, dish towels, doillies, blankets, ponchos, mittens, gloves, scraves, but shawls win!
Mary R said,
August 20, 2012 @ 6:00 pm
Socks. I must have knit at least a hundred pairs. I have a stash drawer full of socks for gifts, in all different sizes and colors. I always have at least one pair going, if not two.
Tara said,

Socks, Socks and more Socks!
Linda said,

Absolutely socks for me. They’re so portable and quick. After socks it would be mittens. My extended family loves the mittens I knit and I’ve always got a request for a new pair for Christmas or birthdays.

Shawls – always shawls
Penny Mosher said,
August 20, 2012 @ 7:07 pm
Crochet would definately be doilies in the pineapple pattern with cotton crochet thread.
Knitting – tie between socks and shawls. I always have both on the needles. I’m not crocheting much the last couple years since I improved in my knitting skills.
Meg said,

I would have to say small shawls — maybe one day I will be able to say sweaters!

Fingerless mitts!! I can’t get enough of them, I want one in every color, and every base possible!! I am going to make more with the Silky Mal I just ordered from you!!!!

Sweaters and more sweaters are what I knit the most of as I am always cold.
Rachel said,

Socks are the most projects I have knitted up by far. I started out with dishcloths then moved on to socks. I’m on shawls right now, but I don’t think I’ll ever knit as many shawls as I have socks.
Susan Ipavec said,
August 20, 2012 @ 10:12 pm
I definitely knit socks the most, followed by baby hats for charity, blankets for charity, then assorted accessories. I love to knit!
Amy Bessen said,

I find that the patterns I like most are shawls, so that’s what I’ve been knitting lately. especially with all the camp loopy additions to my queue!

I ave to say lots of hats and gloves with a few shawls.;0)

Connie said,

I knit constantly and enjoy all of it. Socks is a real favorite as well as shawls and sweaters, but I love, love, love designing and knitting my own collection of blankets. My Story Blanket is my real star. I originally called it Jakes Hockey Blanket but I’m trying to put together a collection of my blanket designs and in the collection it will become a Story blanket because you can tell any story you want through your imagination and your knitting. It’s great isn’t it; knitting I mean.

Summer Tops. Because I live in south Texas.
But lately I’ve been making shawls – don’t get to use them much but they’re fun to make.

I actually crochet more than I knit, and I definitely make mostly blankets. I would, however, love to learn to knit socks.
Tina said,

I think it’s a toss up between sweaters and blankets. Every new baby gets a blanket and there have been a lot in the last 9 years. But the sweaters are mostly for me. Socks and shawls are becoming the go-to projects now.

I think it’s between socks and scarves for me. Probably because they are the easiest to work on in short bursts and they travel well.
Jan Hamby said,
August 22, 2012 @ 11:13 am
If it weren’t for all the hats I’ve done for charity, it would definitely be socks. So, a mixed answer –
Most knitted for me and my family — socks!
Most knitted for others — hats!
I’m doing a lot more sweaters and shawls though, so watch out!
Jody said,
August 22, 2012 @ 11:15 am
Definitely shawls/wraps
Julie said,
August 22, 2012 @ 12:46 pm
I am pretty sure it’s tied in my closet. Socks – Cowls/Scarves. Gosh, I can’t wait for it to start cooling off so I can pull those socks out again!
Cindy said,
August 22, 2012 @ 12:54 pm
I’ve done mostly shawls and scarves. They were what I learned on because you can experiment with stitches and techniques and not really have to worry about size and gauge yet. But I’ve moved on to socks, gloves, mittens, and soon a sweater!
stephanie said,
August 22, 2012 @ 2:09 pm
If I had answered this questin last year my answer would be socks, as I’ve made more than 25 pair for myself and family. But this year has been the year of the shawl for me. Big ones and small ones.. I’m on to shawls.
Leighann said,
August 22, 2012 @ 2:10 pm
Afghan blocks for me, since I like to participate in block of the month (or one time a block a day for a month) crochet alongs. After that it’s bags, with fingerless gloves/mitts and shawls tied for third.
Suellen said,

definitely socks and shawls! For a long time socks were in the lead, but not anymore. LOVE shawls!

Scarlet said,

When I had a knitting business, I used to knock out 4-7 pairs of longies (baby pants) a month, so I’ve probably made more of those than anything else. But left to my own devices, I will knit shawls till the cows come home. I have about 20, I think.
Liz Thomas said,
August 24, 2012 @ 1:42 pm
Probably hats….and if I finished all those WIPs i have lots to go with them!
Lisa in Los Angeles said,

Definitely socks. I can knit them on the bus ride to work, and everyone in my family loves them! I think I average about 16-20 pairs a year.
Judy said,
August 25, 2012 @ 12:59 am
I would have said socks, but I have been making more shawls this past two years so shawl it is.
Jackie said,

For myself…socks…about 25 pairs.
But about 7 years ago I knit about 75 baby and kids hats for charity.
Ginger said,

Hats and baby monkey socks Hats probably 60+ and baby monkey socks pretty close to it I am still doing monkey socks now! The 60 plus hats were hats for sailors and baby hats. I am glad I love doing it because that was alot of hats!

Julie Witt said,

When knitting for other people, I’d say hats, scarves and cowls, but for personal knitting sweaters just eeked out a win over socks, because I love to knit both of them so much! There are such an abundance of cool sweater and sock patterns out there so I never have to knit the same thing twice
