Further Analysis

Seems that I have been upping the production from last year but that June last year was a big producer too. So maybe part of it has to do with June. Also I've apparently really been ramping it up since April this year. (Can I tell you how hard it was to get a chart in here? I had to resort to making an image in excel and pasting it in because I kept loosing formating.) I think this is an interesting analysis (thank you Ravelry for storing all this information). I'm certain that my knitting time hasn't increased by twice as much to account for doubling of yardage. I can't imagine that its increased much at all considering I have had the same job and home responsibilities for both years. I think I can call this proof of faster knitting. I think I'll keep this chart up and see how I change from year to year because now that I've done this much I'm interested to see where it goes...

***I'd include 2007 but January though July are only sort of in Ravelry because I wasn't a Ravelry member until July 2007. So I think that would sort of skew the data.

January, February and March have reasonable growth rates but what's up with April? It's as if you suddenly become a knitting superstar right out of the blue. Crazy.

What a fun analysis! It is the first time I've heard of a knitter reporting results like a publicly held company - "results vs. the same quarter last year"... I love it!

Is this something that you can pull out of Ravelry? I don't think I want to know what the answers are. Also... yardage is only one way to measure. I knit more stitches with socks on US Size 1s... but fewer yards - than with US Size 7s and worsted weight. What do you think? How can we take those differences into account? I'm fascinated by this analysis.

Hunh. That is really interesting (and impressive -- I can't imagine I'd come anywhere near your totals!). I wonder what my numbers would look like?

You are too funny! That is definitely some very impressive knitting!
