What Was That About the Hearts, Again?
Well, the scarf is done. I think it turned out kinda cute, after all. Hopefully, it will lure people into taking my class. We'll see.
I think I went a little overboard cutting fringe. This is my "leftover pile."
A bit much, no? I figure I can donate it to a student in need, provided they choose the same colors for their scarf.
And now, for Agent Mulder's dream come true.
I have more UFO's than Roswell hanging out here, so I thought I'd share some photos. I'll post updates as they get finished up. Skippy claims the "Year of the Unfinished Project" has wiggle room, but I know myself enough to know that I mustn't cast on for any more personal projects until these (and others, see sidebar for full disclosure) are out of my hair.
Exhibit A: Zoe's green sweater. This sweater was first mentioned August 24, was cast on for sometime in November, and has been languishing, sleeveless, for quite some time.
Since snapping this photo, I have completed one sleeve and knit about 1 1/2 inches on the second sleeve.
Exhibit B: Icarus. I'm still on the stockinette columns, and so have a tendency to get a bit bored with this one, dreaming of the day I'll have to yet again pick up the chart.
Exhibit C: Socks for Zoe. These are a "guilt knit" borne of my seeming inability to get the green sweater done, already, and Zoe's simple request at one of the LYSes I dragged her to over vacation to, "knit me some socks, Momma." Heel #1 has been turned. I am lucky she is fond of short socks.
Exhibit D: Swallowtail Shawl for my grandmother. I am 3 repeats shy of switching over to the Lily of the Valley charts. And the nupps. Yup. Glad I have those sharp Knitpicks needles!
I might have made more progress on these today except for one very exciting thing: I went to work today! I am helping out on Saturdays at the LYS. I had a blast, and picked up another shop sample project to do. The Estonian Garden Lace Wrap (scarf version). More lace! Woo hoo!

That's a lot of projects in progress. The illusion scarf with heart is very nice, might have to put that on the todo list.
I think the illusion scarf turned out great! Things like that are even more important for customers to see a finished product ('cause illusion is so cool) if they're going to sign up for the class.
I need to make this the year of the UFO, too. *sigh* So much to do, so little time! :)
That illusions scarf is really cool. It should lure some students.
I too have too many ufos hanging about. I keep each one in a separate project bag. This weekend I cast on for a new project only to realize I'm out of bags. I need to either sew another bag or for the love of all that's good finish something.
What sweet scarves!
Your UFOs are all going to be gorgeous. Now hurry up an knock out some of them Us!
We're doing well so far I believe! I finished four (small) things this weekend, and tonight I'm cleaning up the sewing room in anticipation of a boon there. Wouldn't it be awesome if our Year of the Unfinished Project was all over in March!? Good Job!
I forgot to mention, but I love, love, love Zoe's sweater with the greens. LOVE it!
