Forgot one


One more dish cloth that I forgot to post a picture.

Unfinished Work

I have been torturing myself. I have grouped all my unfinished projects and laid them on or around the footstool in front of the chair that I sit in when I knit or crochet. Two afghans, a scarf, five different pairs of socks and dozens of patterns that I am contemplating beginning. Needless to say, the room is a mess. I solved one of the problems--I frogged the entire project. That wasn't that quick and to undo all of them would be time consuming and then there is the lost time that I spent working on them. What is it that drives one to finish some projects and to let others sit neglected in favor of beginning yet another project. Is it boredom with the project--is the project too hard--or am I just a quitter. Who knows, but guess what I did today--started another sock!!! Shame on me--that is definitely the last new project started before I finish one of the old ones!


I have completed my package for the dishcloth swap--this is what I am sending my partner --I think it is safe to post as I have not really advertised that I have this blog. This was how I avoided my unfinished works for the past week. The potholders are crocheted and the dish clothes are knitted. I really liked the round one--my first round knitted object.





In addition to the one's I am sending to my partner, I also completed these.





Well, I should go work on my ufo's or my new project--or should I look through my books for my next project!

Accomplishments--or Not




I have accidently deleted every post when I try to edit--we will see if I can manage to actually have something written instead of just pictures.


I have been looking at blogs and see all the wonderful things that people have crocheted and knitted--then I look at what I have managed to finish--sigh--not much.


The pictures on the first post are the things made from November to March. I have several unfinished projects that I keep promising myself to finish. Two afghans, 5 prs of socks and two scarves. The afghans are both crochet and the socks and scarves are both knitted. One of my goals for 2007 was to improve my knitting so I have been trying out lots of new things. I don't know that I have improved my knitting that much but I have learned lots of new things.


About all I finished last week were some preemie hats and a blanket.
