Finished Projects
Not a whole lot but better than nothing. One could argue that the Crusher Sweater isn't actually finished as my ape-armed Husband needs slightly longer sleeves, which has yet to happen. I still need to get the initial finished picture of the sweater with him in it. The body was the hardest part of the sweater for me because it just kept going and seemed as though it was never going to end. I guess I felt the same way about the sleeves. I almost had second sleeve syndrome now that I think back to it.I did manage to cast on and finish a pair of Cookie A socks in record time for me. They were nice and mindless. Husband called them my Holly socks. If you click on the link, you'll see why. I changed the heel to a short row heel as I've decided that I really like the way that they fit. I've started to wear my hand-knit socks on work days in which I know I might be annoyed (such as a long day of opera) because then at least my feet are happy.
I've made a new page with this year's goals. Here's hoping that I get the Browncoat Top finished. I set it down sometime last fall...and didn't clearly mark where I was in the pattern. I figured out where I was in the back section but I may have to frog back to a point I recognize for the front sections. It also turns out that finishing this project wouldn't really have helped me with Husband's Sweater because they were completely different types of tops. Husband did comment in amazement at how much faster the sweater was knit up as compared to his gloves.
I have less than a month to finish the 2nd (first made, second finished) pair of gloves if I want to enter them into the State Fair this year and then wear them this winter. I'm not exactly feeling motivated to deal with it though. Socks and knitted tops are less annoying.
