Seems like I have to go through this every so often... finishing up projects that I have abandoned... vowing not to start anything else until everything is complete. Once again, I find myself in this spot and the end of the year seems like as good a time as any to clean things up and start fresh.
Today I finished a hat for my youngest. It was a Toft pattern that I bought as a kit at the Knitting and Stitching Show in London that I went to with my mother-in-law this fall. Although this is the photo from the pattern itself, the one I knitted for her was a lovely camel color with an off-white-colored fluff bit at the top. Hopefully a photo to come later.I then tackled a pair of short socks that I knitted to use up some of my leftover scraps of yarn this past summer. This is the second pair... one I finished this summer. For some reason, I totally misread the pattern and knitted an extra large men's size for my daughter. Needless to say, those socks stayed in my drawer at the lake to be worn around the house. They were hideous and way too big. This is the same pattern, but but this time in the right size. I used some bits of cotton wool that I had remaining from other projects. Figured as short socks, they might work fine with my Birkenstocks. Couldn't find the original pattern, so I guessed a bit on the toe of the second sock. As imperfect as they are, I'll be the only one wearing these.
Still have a few projects to go. Mittens for my eldest and a pair fingerless gloves for someone at work. Not too much left to do in the last few days of the year.
