The agenda for today is to lay out all zillion of my partially finished knitting projects to see which one I want to finish first. I often get side-tracked from one thing to start another due to you-know-what and/or the attraction of making something quick-to-knit from start to finish. I've given most of those things, (scarves, handbags, dish towels/cloths and hats), away. The third and only sweater I've finished is my trophy for persistence. The first sweater was too holey because I substituted, (mistakenly), yarn and needle size for a pattern that called for such expensive yarn that no beginning knitter would want to chance wasting. The second finished sweater turned out bigger than expected so I gave that one to my sister-in-law to wear. She rewarded me with a gift certificate to Yarnia, a way cool yarn shop that I frequent. This picture is of my third finished sweater that I wore to Jenn's for Christmas. The pattern is "The Perfect Tee, #67, by Ann Norling, using a cotton yarn, Ulmo Multy by Araucania. (The turtleneck came from a long lost and then found bin in the basement with tags still on it from the store). Maybe by next Christmas, I'll have made something to wear with more appropriate holiday colors.
