I've been busy trying to knit just a few more things this year...and I've gotten quite a bit done. And I'm glad I've still got a week left to knit! Interesting note, um, interesting to knitters that is, some of these projects have had the actual knitting completed for awhile now, but hadn't had buttons sewn on, been blocked, that kind of thing. When do you count a project as "finished"? I tend to say it's finished when all the knitting is done, but of course, it might not be usable for quite a while after that.
But, these projects are really and truly finished:
Sweaters for two sisters...
Ravelry'd here. The most adorable baby boy sweater, even if I do say so myself. Seriously, who could resist that little shawl collar and the manly buttons on a baby boy?! No one, that's who.
Ravelry'd here. My TENTH shawl of 2010! I can barely believe it, but I did it. I'm not all that interested in knitting anymore shawls right now though.
Probably my favorite of the ten is this one, which I knit out of odd balls of koigu that I've literally had for at least 12 years. Plus one new skein I had to buy when I ran out!
I've been wearing it around on all the cool days, mostly all bunched up like a gigantic scarf. I just love all the colors and the way the ends wrap around. Ravelry details all here.
I have plans to be back before January 1 with one more sweater and two hats (all presents) and maybe even something else, who knows? Are you in a frenzy of last-minute knitting?
