As for knitting, I do think it's taken over.
I was ambitious yesterday and got out all the handknits I knitted this year. The top pic shows everything (except for one thing that I will show below). The list of accessories is as follows (trying to go from left to right more or less): Void Shawl by Melanie Berg, Pioneer Girl Shawl by Susan B. Anderson, Boneyard Shawl by Stephen West, Leftie Shawl by Martina Behm, Palindrome Scarf, Serena Shawl (Quince & Co.), Flying Geese Cowl (Quince & Co.), and the Turn a Square hat by Jared Flood. The garments are (from top to bottom): Stopover by MJ Mucklestone, Cruden vest by Ysolda Teague, Vika pullover by Veronik Avery, Vanora pullover by Michele Wang, Ondawa by Michele Wang, and the Right Angle sweater (Pom Pom Quarterly).
Yesterday I finished the Mawson hat by Jared Flood. You can see it on the father type's head above. I used Brooklyn Tweed Shelter in the marled Caribou color for it. It's not blocked yet, but it looks nice!
Oh! There's one more thing I finished this year and neglected to include. It's because it was a Christmas present for the girl child and she has it now.
Pretty, right? (both girl and cowl....) I used Stone Wool Cormo in the Ozark 2 color. (Ignore the two cans of Pledge in the background..... Grrrr....)
I wish everyone a happy, healthy, prosperous, loving 2017!

Oh my friend,you are amazing! Love your gorgeous knits! Happy New Year to you all!
Your knitting is beautiful! I wish I could do a fraction of what you can do with two sticks and some yarn!!! Hope your Christmas was merry and that 2017 will be good to you and yours. And, yes, they are both beautiful...the cowl, and especially the daughter.
Happy New Year!

The knitting has most definitely taken over Margaret, you've knitted so many lovely things. All my good wishes for the coming year - I hope it brings you much happiness.
I cover that pile of handknits, Margaret. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, Margaret! Your needles have been flying this year. So many gorgeous finishes.
I didn't notice the Pledge, I spotted the cookie tin, more to my liking. Great knitting Margaret, from color changes and cables to a basic hat! Happy new year.
Happy New Year! I love the cross-stitch finish and of course all of the beautiful knits. Your daughter is beautiful too.
I love everything you have done! The girl child is surely a beautiful young lady. Love Mia!
Happy New Year Margaret! Great knits!!! And cute Mia.
Beautiful projects. Happy New Year!
Excellent productivity in 2016! And I'm sure you will stay warm now for the winter.
Happy New Year!
wishing you and family everything that is kind, bountiful and loving in 2017! xo
Happy New Year Margaret! It looks like you had a beautiful family holiday!
Your pile of hand knits is scrumptious! Love the Yellow Sub too. I have that one in my stash to stitch.
I don't comment on to many blogs but I must tell you I so enjoy your posts. You are an absolute joy. Talent I can't even begin to imagine. Thank you and your lovely family for sharing part of your life. Many blessings in the new year.
What an incredible stack of knitting, and all so pretty! The Yellow Submarine came out really nicely too - those Beatles-inspired charts all look like such fun.
Some beautiful knitting finishes, Margaret! You should certainly be nice and cozy this winter. : ) Love your Yellow Submarine, too, and of course Mia - cute as always and very toasty looking. Hope your new year is off to a great start!
I'm just catching up blog reading from being sick - better now. Your knitting prowess is so impressive. I saw some things in the list I didn't even realize you had done like the Pioneer Girl shawl by SBA. I'm anxious to try her new Barrett Wool - might make that new Baker Hat she just designed. DH would like it. I like your DH Jared hat too. Lovely and no I still haven't tried the BT yarns. Need to remedy that in 2017. Where does the time go my friend - I hope you have a wonderful wooly enjoyable 2017 - with warm and "wooley-thoughts" cheers Mel
What an impressive stack of knitting - goodness! I do like the bright yellow submarine. I stitched next to nothing in December. We shall see what January brings.
Just catching up on blog posts today. Oh Margaret...the knitting...swoon!!! I do love it all. Someday! Love that pic of Mia too. She's a hoot. Happy 2017!
Your pullovers, shawls and scarves are legend, Margaret. So very beautiful. I'm looking forward to what you will be knitting- and stitching? - this year. Happy New Year!
Your knitting is beyond impressive, Margaret--I am always in awe when I see the beauties that spring from your needles :)
Glad you had one stitching finish--and a very fun one! Hope 2017 brings you lots of time with your needles--whether big or small!!
Margaret! You blow me away - such inspiring knits and ALL gorgeous. I so enjoy following your stitching and knitting progress on IG through the year and happy to be blog reading again as yours is one of my favorites. That Yellow Submarine is fantastic!!!!
