sequel to "I've finished"

The photos of my finished afghan and teddy are now up on my blog. The post also includes my next project; please drop by and take a look. Comments welcome too! ;-)

Still finishing!

One of my UFOs for February finishing was a wrap (afghan) with a few dozen ends to sew in. Make that a few hundred. :-(


So far I have sewn in over 1600 (yes, I am counting them with a row counter and a tally sheet for every hundred). I sew in 100 a day and have got ahead of myself because torrential rain (which we needed badly) fell over the western suburbs of Sydney on Monday and my class was cancelled so I had extra time for finishing.

This is what the back looked like before I started; now multiply that by 100 and you get the idea!

Corded bag done!

I had knitted this little corded bag out of Noro Daria a few weeks ago, but meant to line it and add a zipper. That was where that project stalled, until today, when I got off my rear and did it.

I thought it turned out very cute! I love the texture of the Noro Daria. Very interesting. The pattern by Grumperina went very well and was a very easy knit, after getting the dpn's going.

I can't decide to use it as a makeup bag, or a knitting goodies bag. Hmmm.... I think the cat wants it for cat treats.

More finished objects on my blog.

First project finished!

Here are two of the projects earmarked for finishing in February blocking:











And here is the Lace Panel Jumper completed and laid out:


You can see the specs on my blog, knittingnatty.typepad.com!

Count me in!

What a good idea for a KAL. It works in harmony with my NY resolution not to cast on anything until I have completed all WIPs/UFOs and my other KAL - Stashalong.

I particularly like the rule of not knitting until I have done at least half an hour of finishing; what a great way to push myself!

So here is my list of UFOs awaiting finishing:

1. teddy (for charity)
- needs a face embroidered, some arms, sewing and stuffing; doesn't look much now but wait and see


2. cardigan - seaming and blocking needed (no photos sorry)

3. wrap/afghan (for charity)
- as you can see, the ends need sewing in


I have three other projects on the needles that may be finished in February:
two wraps/afghans (for charity) and a jumper (sweater)

More details on my blog.

Thanks Shansays for sharing the news about this KAL. Thanks Rocketbride for inviting this Aussie to join! :-)
