The most satisfying project I have knitted so far this year is my Escher Lizards:
http://www.ravelry.com/projects/nbgriz/maurits
The pattern, Maurits, is from the Op-Art Socks book, and I was looking forward to it for months! I love stranded knitting and tesselations. It was a lot of fun and they are fun to wear, too.
Posted by: Nancy | June 09, 2015 at 01:04 PM
Probably my Marilinda socks:

I've knit so many this year but my most satisfying would be my polar coat because I have worn it so much. This yarn looks so much fun! Would love to have it.

A cable sweater for one of my dogs (in yarn from SSYC, of course)

I've been knitting quite a bit this year thus far but my favorite project has been knitting chemo caps for my best friend's mother in law. It gives me time to reflect on my life choices and to put my heart into someone else's position. I admire the strength that she has found in herself and the love she exudes for others around her. http://www.ravelry.com/projects/mmmgood304
Posted by: Michelle | June 09, 2015 at 01:16 PM
My most satisfying project so far was turning a too small sweater into a right sized vest
Posted by: Kate | June 09, 2015 at 01:18 PM
I made my first socks! Very satisfying because now I know what all the fuss was about :) I foresee many socks in my future.

Posted by: Jackie Whyte | June 09, 2015 at 01:21 PM
I knitted a pair of socks with a pattern continuous from the leg to the toe instead of plain stockinette. http://www.ravelry.com/projects/vickiandwinston/go-sf-giants-socks
Posted by: vicki | June 09, 2015 at 01:24 PM
A stitch surfer sock, Nemo colorway purchased quite awhile ago from you, but kept putting off because it's toe up. Now I'm addicted!
Posted by: Lisa p | June 09, 2015 at 01:33 PM
I knit a prayer shawl for a relative so that when their young child is going thru very serious surgeries she can wear it around her shoulders. I have found out that waiting rooms are rather cold no matter what time of year and these bring comfort.
Posted by: Maureen | June 09, 2015 at 01:34 PM
My most satisfying project this yearnwas a sweater to cover the bum of a "donor bear". This bear unselfishly gave of his fur so that a more favored bear could continue his role as companion for a very special boy.
Once I found the pattern I headed for my stash and found the perfect yarn. I think that you'll agree:
http://www.ravelry.com/projects/violetyarn/teddy-bear-rollneck-sweater
The boy is most appreciative!
Adding to my joy is the fact that from concept to done took 24 hours.
Sometimes it's the little things -
Posted by: JoAnne B | June 09, 2015 at 01:40 PM
My most satisfying project this year has been the Grün ist die Hoffnung socks I knit this year. What made them so neat was you knit them from the top of the foot. And of course I used simply sock Not Quite Mint. I enjoyed these socks.

Posted by: Pam | June 09, 2015 at 01:43 PM
My Rockefeller Shawl (Stephen West on Ravelry), until I ran out of Poste Patina Atlantis! Waiting for a new dye lot to show up so I can finish this beauty! Only about two hours knitting time needed...
Posted by: Karen | June 09, 2015 at 01:44 PM
My most satisfying project was Brain Frieze by Susan Ashcroft. I'm a new knitter and it made me look like an expert.

Posted by: PamelaR | June 09, 2015 at 01:52 PM
Monkey Socks out of Madelinetosh Sock in the Holi Festival color.
Posted by: CyndyC | June 09, 2015 at 01:53 PM
My most satisfying project this year has been Bilberry by Berroco for my 2 year daughter Veronica. I made it for her so we can have her 2 year old pictures taken in it. I don't have the pictures yet, but I love it.
www.berroco.com/bilberry
Posted by: Courtney Pierce | June 09, 2015 at 01:54 PM
My most satisfying project has been a 100 patch afghan of mitered diamonds made of 10 colors of dk yarn. It was so much fun picking up the diamonds and not having to sew them together. The patches of hand dyed self striping yarn are really neat.
Posted by: mary | June 09, 2015 at 01:54 PM
Hannah fettig's whisper cardigan. It doesn't fit me, but it does fit my daughter. Love it.
Posted by: Larissa | June 09, 2015 at 02:02 PM

Posted by: Francine Johnson | June 09, 2015 at 02:14 PM

My first pair of socks it only took me 2 weeks to make. My momma had me make my daddy the socks well for a first time pair they were a size 13!!!! 😂
Posted by: Samantha | June 09, 2015 at 02:15 PM
I love Maegan's yarn! In fact, my most satisfying project so far this year is my Bux hat knit in her Demeter colorway.
http://www.ravelry.com/projects/superfoxrocks/bux
Posted by: Lesley | June 09, 2015 at 02:16 PM
Pin Striped Socks in Socks That Rock. Simple pattern; great yarn! Also Poste Yarn socks (Pere Lachese) for my niece.
Posted by: Judy | June 09, 2015 at 02:17 PM
I'd been wanting to knit Karatsu forever, but was nervous about knitting knee socks. I'm so glad I finally did! I love them!
Posted by: Kylene | June 09, 2015 at 02:17 PM
Probably the mustache dress I made for my Arne and Carlos Doll

I think my Nurmilintu, because I needed the cheery yellow color to brighten up the winter.
http://www.ravelry.com/projects/madansara/nurmilintu
Posted by: Sarah | June 09, 2015 at 02:18 PM
Most satisfying project for me so far this year would be my Mystik Spiral socks. They were my first-ever toe up socks, and not only do they fit great, I managed to perfectly line up the stripes!
http://www.ravelry.com/projects/smlhns/mystik-spiral-socks
Posted by: Stacey | June 09, 2015 at 02:18 PM
I made a baby sweater (Liliput) for a friend's first grand-baby.
Posted by: Cara | June 09, 2015 at 02:19 PM
My most satisfying project was the fingerless mitts I designed for my mom. Its a simple pattern that shows off Malabrigo Mecha's beautiful colors.
Posted by: Shawn | June 09, 2015 at 02:20 PM
Socks! I'm completely obsessed with vanilla socks and the prettiest yarns I can find. Thanks for aiding in my obsession. :)

Posted by: Jutta | June 09, 2015 at 02:23 PM
The most satisfying was also the smallest project I made. Baby booties, they are so perfectly adorable and were made for such a sweet baby! This is the pattern I used:
http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/saartjes-bootees
Posted by: Donna Denherder | June 09, 2015 at 02:24 PM
My favorite so far this year is my Ysolda Follow Your Arrow 2. Pretty shawl that was such a pleasant pattern to knit.
Posted by: Laura | June 09, 2015 at 02:26 PM
My soft Kidsilk Haze Stripe scarf. Moles of soft colors and yarn.
Posted by: Amy Vernon | June 09, 2015 at 02:27 PM
My most satisfying project is the Drifting Leaves Poncho. I knit it for a friend who is going chemo treatments for breast cancer. I made it with Cascade 220 superwash in Black.
http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/drifting-leaves-poncho
Posted by: Doris McCoy | June 09, 2015 at 02:29 PM
I was thrilled with my Canyonlands shawl. Pattern by verybusymonkey.
Posted by: Lateia Sandifer | June 09, 2015 at 02:30 PM
3x1 ribbed socks.
Posted by: Heather | June 09, 2015 at 02:32 PM
The re-working of a sweater. Originally meant to be a cardigan but that didn't work out as the yarn had too much spring in it for a button cardigan closure. It was the first time I branched out on my own and designed a pull over sweater front to go with the back and sleeves already knit. I felt so accomplished
Posted by: Sara | June 09, 2015 at 02:32 PM
I knot predominantly socks (and those are always satisfying), but I LOVED this Wavy Flower hat that I made for my daughter for Easter.
http://www.ravelry.com/projects/totallycraftymama/wavy-flower-hat
Posted by: Traci S | June 09, 2015 at 02:33 PM
My most satisfying knitting project this year was the Kaika socks by Michelle Hunter. It was a knit along and I learned a great new Japanese short row heel.
Posted by: Vickie | June 09, 2015 at 02:37 PM
Ohhhh I love color!!! I think it's calling me to make it into a shawlette...or socks, fun summer socks....
My most satisfying knit project ever (have only been knitting 6 mo and am addicted) is this piano vest I made for my little man's recital last month!
http://www.ravelry.com/projects/crescendogal/the-piano-vest
Posted by: Rita aka crescendogal | June 09, 2015 at 02:37 PM
I totally enjoyed knitting the Little Cotton Rabbits and d ome clothes for my granddaughter.
Posted by: Maxine Krueger | June 09, 2015 at 02:38 PM
My favorite project so far this year would be my Newton Shawl by Very Busy Monkey. It was my first shawl & I can't wait to make another.
Posted by: Melissa S Lewis | June 09, 2015 at 02:39 PM
My brown eyed Susan shawl was my favorite knit this year.
Posted by: Labrista | June 09, 2015 at 02:41 PM
I am working on a CoExist sock pattern that is a fun mystery KAL. I am enjoying choosing each different section.
Posted by: Sheila | June 09, 2015 at 02:41 PM
What can I say to win this yarn! Pretty please!
Posted by: Dorah Rosenzweig | June 09, 2015 at 02:41 PM
I finished my first pair of socks!! I had started three pairs in the 11 years I have been knitting but never finished one. I even had to do the cuff on one pair, but hated the yarn sooo much I threw them in the trash because I couldn't imagine even touching the yarn again!
Posted by: Debra H. | June 09, 2015 at 02:41 PM
My most satisfying project was the Eden Praire shawl made from hand dyed yarn by he periwinkle sheep
Posted by: Dorah Rosenzweig | June 09, 2015 at 02:42 PM
My favorite project is a sweater for myself that I am actually still working on!
Posted by: laura pierce | June 09, 2015 at 02:42 PM
Socks, socks, and more socks!!!
Posted by: Susan | June 09, 2015 at 02:43 PM
I'm knitting a Brioche cowl and it's the first time I've done that stitch. It's a lot of fun and satisfying to try something new.
Posted by: Samantha T. | June 09, 2015 at 02:43 PM
Stephen West's Boneyard shawl, from my own madder-dyed fingering wool yarn. Mine is scarf sized, a no-brainier triangular scarf that is easy to knit in public and looks great. It's the second scarf I've made with this pattern.
Posted by: Merna | June 09, 2015 at 02:44 PM
Socks! They keep my feet warm all winter.
Posted by: Linda McLaughlin | June 09, 2015 at 02:44 PM
Socks!
Posted by: Amy | June 09, 2015 at 02:44 PM
I learned to knit socks this year - very satisfying. Perhaps even addictive.
Posted by: elizabeth | June 09, 2015 at 02:44 PM
I just finished my first shawl. Would love to knit socks with this yarn so pretty.
Posted by: Courtney | June 09, 2015 at 02:46 PM
Definitely the SoHo Scarf by the Knit Cafe Toronto. I used Madtosh Twist Light in Denim and Dr. Zhavigo's Sky. Turned out to be one of my favorite shawls. Not sure how to do the link to my Raverly Page or to the pattern but it is free on Raverly.
Posted by: Sally | June 09, 2015 at 02:47 PM
My niece had her newborn pictures taken in the hat and baby sack I made her... how adorable and special!
Posted by: Sandra Sprouse | June 09, 2015 at 02:47 PM
I'm torn between a cardigan that I made with Tosh Merino Light (it still needs finishing though) and a lacy stole with Tosh Lace and a rose trellis pattern.
Posted by: Michelle | June 09, 2015 at 02:48 PM
My most satisfying project was a square wash cloth. Why a simple washcloth is so satisfying, you ask?
I went to Florida to visit my daughter. And my two grand babies, Tobias age 10 and Gigi age 9.
I take a washcloth on trips because of small and easy to travel with.
I had finished a cloth while at my daughters house. Gigi was in her room playing. Gigi came out and asked me what I was making? I told her and showed her the finished cloth....her eyes lite up and she asked if she could have it, of course like all good grandmas I said yes. What are you going to do with it and why does she want it?
Gigi quickly replied, it was s blanket for her unicorn and every time she uses it, it smells like you, grandma. That way I will always have you with me!

LoVe the CoLoRs!!!
Posted by: Joanne Christman | June 09, 2015 at 02:51 PM
Some knee socks for my sister. Not quite done, yet. But, I'm sure she's going to love them!
Posted by: Annette Triner | June 09, 2015 at 02:51 PM
My most satisfying project is the one I am working on now. It's the Togue Pond tank top from Quince and Co. I am learning so much about clothing construction. I have always wanted to be a sweater knitter, but I have never quite gotten it. This is like a revelation! Looooove it.
Posted by: Minnie | June 09, 2015 at 02:52 PM
Besides the socks I always have on my needles for all the time I spend bleacher-sitting watching my son play sports, my favorite project this year has been http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/palindrome-a-reversible-cable-scarf . Thanks for the chance to win this beautiful yarn!
Posted by: Penny | June 09, 2015 at 02:52 PM
Irish Mesh Scarf made out of mink yarn. It is luscious and beautiful.
Posted by: Holly Beam | June 09, 2015 at 02:53 PM
I am knitting on the Campside shawl right now and I am so in love with this project. It is already such a warm and cozy shawl, perfect for cool nights at the cabin sitting around the campfire. I have already caked up more yarn to know up another one when this one is cast off in a few days. ;-)
Posted by: Julie | June 09, 2015 at 02:53 PM
love this yarn! i did a fingerless glove that had a lot of new skills for me
Posted by: dana | June 09, 2015 at 02:54 PM
Wispy willow cardigan. I am using Mrs crosby train case, colour Hollywood cerise. Still working on it, but it is a pleasure to knit.
Posted by: Liisat | June 09, 2015 at 02:55 PM
For a span of several months I kept busy knitting several small items (baby socks, baby hats, sock yarn baby sweater, etc) for my granddaughter who was having a difficult pregnancy. She lives away so I mailed separate packages as I finished knitting each item. She was so very much on my mind and I know she needed cheerful reminders that she was loved. Long story short - I'm the proud great-grandma to beautiful Matilda and I treasure her a million times for each stitch in the pre-birth items I made for her.
Posted by: Ann Matson | June 09, 2015 at 02:55 PM
A set of baby blankets for a friend who volunteers at a hospital to give out in the NICU.
Posted by: Janica Carter | June 09, 2015 at 02:56 PM
My most satisfying project this year was a beaded cowl that I knit.
Posted by: Helen King | June 09, 2015 at 02:57 PM
My most satisfying project to give away was a Traveling Woman shawl for my 90+ aunt. She enjoyed the surprise gift in bright colors til her passing and that's what knitting is all about, sharing your love with others.
My most satisfying to keep was another Traveling Woman in STR "Spawn of Scum" color way . As someone who gets motion sickness at the drop of a needle, the irony of using a queasy green color for a"Traveling" shawl still cracks me up!
Posted by: Connie | June 09, 2015 at 03:02 PM
My favorite project so far was my lace hitchhiker, which combined beautiful colored sock yarn with a simple lace. Helped to recharge my batteries!
http://www.ravelry.com/projects/spricket/hitchhiker
Posted by: Nancy | June 09, 2015 at 03:03 PM
I am right in the middle of a summer weight sweater (On the Beach by Isabell Kraemer). What makes this project so satisfying is that I've actually been able to knit more than one row/round a day. I have six kids which leaves little time for sitting or knitting; but my daughters had their ballet recital last week which meant hours of sitting in an auditorium while they rehearsed with nothing to do but knit.
Posted by: Lara Dillard | June 09, 2015 at 03:04 PM
My most satisfying projects was socks knit on two circular needles two at a time with Dream in Color with Cashmere.
Posted by: PatW | June 09, 2015 at 03:04 PM
My ankle socks, because it's getting me ready for bigger sock projects!
Posted by: Jennifer Beene | June 09, 2015 at 03:04 PM
A pair of vanilla socks made with a lush Zen Yan Garden skein. They were for my mother's 93rd birthday and she loved them.
Posted by: Marjorie Millner | June 09, 2015 at 03:09 PM
The name blanket i made for my 4 year old niece. She was so sweet and thanked me at least 5 times when she called.
Posted by: wanda Turner | June 09, 2015 at 03:11 PM
At a retreat in Washington IL with the knitting pipeline podcast group, we knit a community blanket for a friend undergoing surgery & chemo for her cancer. We had fun knitting together, and put prayers into every stitch!

Oh, my! The colors are amazing!!!
Posted by: judy T | June 09, 2015 at 03:13 PM
Most satisfying is the many pairs of socks I made for my husband and watching his face as I hand him a new finished pair!
Posted by: Mary | June 09, 2015 at 03:14 PM
The 3-color cashmere cowl by Joji, it was fun knit and my first time working with yarn that had cashmere in it!
Posted by: Barbara | June 09, 2015 at 03:14 PM
Great contest!
My most satisfying project was definitely a big oversised skirt that I made. It took me soo much time! At the end I tought it was too big, so I was really desperate, but then I washed it and blocked it and it was PERFECT! I'm so happy with it and I get many compliments. I will never underestimate the power of blocking again! :)
Posted by: Gabrielle | June 09, 2015 at 03:19 PM
I finally finished a pair of socks I started in 2010. They were a gift for my mom this Mother's Day and she loved them!

Posted by: Jill L | June 09, 2015 at 03:20 PM
Finished many little projects, but most satisfying is still in progress...working on a Mermaid Tail blanket/snugglie for a friend's little girl. Have seen patterns for crochet, but not knit. So I'm happy to try and figure one out! Will definitely share on Ravelry, if it turns out worthy of being shared!
Posted by: Vikki | June 09, 2015 at 03:21 PM
The purple Picabeau shawl I made for myself out of the Cascade Heritage yarn I was given in the basket of goodies my fellow employees gave me at my retirement.
Posted by: Marilyn Robinson | June 09, 2015 at 03:27 PM
The one I'm knitting now. A cute baby blanket.
Posted by: Lisa | June 09, 2015 at 03:30 PM
Prayer shawls for my two step sons. They were definitely a labor of love. The pattern was Max's Tallit found on Ravelry.
Posted by: Cheryl W | June 09, 2015 at 03:32 PM
My most satisfying project that I have completed so far this year is the Boneyard shawl by Stephen West. It's my first shawl that I have actually finished and will be a gift for my mom for Christmas. I am also proud that I finished a gift with plenty of time to spare lol. Love Cyborg Craft Room's yarn! More of it needs to find a home in my stash. ;-) http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/boneyard-shawl
Posted by: Crystal | June 09, 2015 at 03:36 PM
My favorite is reverse psychology shawl. It is knitted with frolicking feet yarn.
Posted by: Melissa Cavallone | June 09, 2015 at 03:38 PM
I started this Gramps Cardigan four years ago and then it went into hibernation after knitting a few inches of the body. I finally got motivated and picked it back up and ended up knitting the rest of the sweater (the rest of the body, sleeves, and collar/buttonband) in less than a month. It's gorgeous and full of cables and I can't wait for fall to wear it.

Posted by: Renee | June 09, 2015 at 03:39 PM
I enjoyed knitting Susan B Anderson's Yowsa Weigh It Shawl Three. Easy to do and a very nice triangular shape
Posted by: Linda Sutherland | June 09, 2015 at 03:40 PM
I made a Ready for Adventure sweater and it was satisfying because I don't often do colorwork nor do I like seaming, but I did it and in addition, I created the back of it, and learned two new techiques. So although it isn't perfect, I am happy with it.http://www.ravelry.com/projects/deskritt/ready-4-adventure
Posted by: Diane | June 09, 2015 at 03:42 PM
my most satisfying project is making hats for the local food bank and teaching others to knit and crochet at my local library and teaching another Linda to knit socks toe up and turn her on to Simply Socks
Posted by: Linda Black | June 09, 2015 at 03:43 PM
Autumnal cardigan. And socks of all sorts.
