on the needles: dispatches from the graveyard of neglected projects
26 April 2009
A bunch of pictures of all the unfinished knitting projects I have. Because starting is so much more fun than finishing….
:: surface from knitty.
So far I really like the colour and the texture of this yarn. I have a feeling this one is going to turn out well.
:: jacket.
Had to rip the sleeves out and start again – I forgot where I was up to and I was trying to be tricky and do both sleeves at once in the round which was becoming annoying.
:: Bex’s GLiB socks.
Not happy with the yarn. The colours are too complex to show off the nice stitch pattern. See how pretty the colours look on the foot? See what a dogs breakfast they look on the ankle? Meh.
:: tea cosy.
Not much to see yet. Just using up scrap yarn
:: cowl.
I can’t remember when, where or why I started this. Hey ho…
:: scarf
For mr machenmachen’s last birthday, now postponed to his coming birthday. Or maybe the one after that. Lives in my drawer at work so I can work on it on the days when I actually get a lunch break. Not so much, lately.
:: long skinny green scarf
Which was going to be finished for spring last year and now might be finished for spring this year… or not.
I’m with you – love starting new project, love finishing them, but it’s the in-between that I find quite ordinary.
Hope you can find a lunch break in your day soon!
I’m a victim of startitis as well! There’s surely a support group for the likes of us. I too hope your lunch times free up soon for knitting.
It’s a brave woman who would show all her neglected projects. Well done.
Now get knitting.
so many projects and so few lunch breaks. The start is the most exciting isn’t it. I kind of dread the end in case I’m not at all happy with it.
