2015 In Review

I continue to blog because I love writing. It's hard to believe I've been blogging for almost two years already. In 2014, I was amazed to surpass my goal of one post per week, writing 63 posts with almost 17,000 views. This year, I am even more amazed to have written 76 posts receiving over 28,200 views (45,200 views total) from all over the world. I'm still not sure how I feel about Blogger stats. I have to be careful not to compare my blog to hugely successful sites. It helps to remind myself - this is a hobby. It's something I do purely for pleasure.

This year I was happy to add a "Free Crochet Patterns" page to my blog. I am new to pattern writing. It takes a lot of time and patience, yet I enjoy the process. I wonder if I will create something new in 2016? No pressure. I prefer following my creativity without making demands. My goal is to keep this whole thing fun and relaxing. 

I had intended to create monthly collages throughout the year to make it easier to complete this "2015 In Review" post . Of course I didn't do anything until today and couldn't remember how it was done. My link from last year explaining the process was no longer valid. Luckily I was able to find instructions on creating photo albums here and collages here.

I've worked all day reviewing my posts deciding what to include. Check out this series of collages providing a visual overview of 2015 at meo my crochet. As you will see it was another busy and productive year.
