During this past winter I found that I enjoyed knitting more than sewing. I
managed to finish a few knitted projects, but I accumulated four
UFOs--unfinished objects. Four unfinished knitting projects, and I'm
quickly losing my knitting obsession as the warm weather is now here and
I WANT TO SEW. Oops, I know that I'm not supposed to use all caps when
typing, sorry. But seriously, I have a problem with letting myself go
to the sewing room when I have these half-completed knitting projects
cluttering the space around my knitting chair.
What's a girl to do? Sew or knit?
Oh, and ooooohhhhh, did you know that the new issue of Ottobre is due to
arrive any day now?!!!! (Yeah, I know I'm not supposed to use multiple
exclamation marks, either). But this new Otto issue looks
promising--full of pretty new patterns for summer. For Emily. And I
can't wait for my copy!!!!
Guess I should get off the computer and work on one or the other knitting project...or sew something...hmmm...maybe I'll go read a book.
Happy Sewing,
Ruth
Acer Cardigan:
By far the most challenging thing I have ever knit!
Rivulet Scarf:
Silky Drop Socks:
This silk-blend yarn is so soft.
Rambling Rows Afghan:
I started this several years ago and pulled it out again this winter.
It is now at the half-way point.
At this rate, it may be another few years before I get back to it.
P.S. You can see my knitting projects here at Ravelry if you have a Ravelry account.
I have this one lone skein of yarn that I bought for a specific project,
but now I don't remember what. Any suggestions?
The coming-soon Otto!
My poor son never gets his picture on the blog, so here he is!
Wow! So beautiful! I wish I could knit like that.
ReplyDeleteYour Chroma might make a pretty beret. There are tons of free patterns on Rav, but I'm sure you know that.
ReplyDeleteKeep going. They are wonderful. As a struggling knitter, I am mega impressed.
ReplyDeleteI am in the same boat. I have an unfinished afghan that I would love to present as a wedding gift. My goal was to complete it before the warm weather arrived. But last night it was too hot to knit, so I sewed.
