finish my knitting projects

Throw your project in a Ziploc bag and take it with ya. It is amazing how you will find yourself just sitting around bored doing nothing. However, I dont recommend driving and knitting! Working on Men’s Crew Cap from the “Chicks with Sticks” in Olive Malabrigo yarn and Boyfriend Basket Weave Scarf in Cascade 220 superwash color no. 862

Now I am working on a basic cable hat out of the Stitch n Bitch Nation book. I have only had to frog it twice…I keep loosing my place after I put it down for a couple of days.

One done! And I know definitely that I will not be giving it to who it was intended for! Now I am working on a cable hat in a navy malibrigo and a wash cloth out of cotton.

Mom dug out a scarf project that I had started probably over two and half years ago. That will be UFO #1! Not sure if I will give it to the person that it was intended for. You know…”The boyfriend sweater curse”. Well there is also, one for scarfs! It’s a good thing I picked out colors that I liked!

I don’t know why I can’t seem to make enough time for this. I get close to the end and I just let everything trail off.

I want to add to my list of projects some stash-busting efforts at hats, scarves and mittens for my friends’ kids. Perhaps I should focus on those and put away the projects for me until later.

1. Shrug from Fitted Knits
2. Shoulder Cozy Wrap from IK Wrap Style
3. Provincial Waistcoat from IK Winter 2006
4. Bad Penny from Knitty Fall 2004
5. Brown tubular scarf (self-designed)

So I finally finished the colorful afghan I’ve been working on for a couple months now. I hope my fav aunt R loves it when she gets it for Christmas.

Started a baby blanket…opps baby is one year old.

I finished bib #2 and it looks better than bib #1. I have started the baby blanket and am using stockinette stitch, which I have never used before. I have done seed stitch and garter but I must say, stockinette stitch rules!!

Woo Hoo! I finally finished the Festive Fish Afghan this past weekend! I’ve gotten a lot of compliments—and I will post a photo after this coming weekend. It is nice to finally complete something, especially a project that had been languishing in the UFO basket for way too long (over 8 years!).
On to the next UFO – my Nova Scotia sweater from AS’s Fisherman’s Sweaters – another project that has been on needles for so long, one probably thinks they are part of the pattern! :-)
