Shandeh's UFOs and FOs, with photos

[Shandeh]

Okay, I've decided to set the record straight about which projects I'm actually working on. Lestrella called me on the carpet the other day, saying that she was wondering if I have finished all the projects I've talked about in the forum.

Well, it was reckoning day for me, I guess. I had to admit that sometimes I have lost interest in some projects, and just frogged them. Other times, I didn't really like the way they looked. So, they went the way of the frog also.

So, here is a list of all the projects I started, but never finished. To redeem myself, I will also list the projects I'm still plugging away on. So, I'm not really THAT bad, I guess.

Unfinished Objects that were FROGGED:

Garter Stitch Tunic - Didn't like how thick the knitting was. Decided I would rather have a thinner top.

Cat's Paw Socks for Angelia - never could get the "cat's paw" lace pattern to be the right size around the ankle or leg.

Wimple with Debbie Bliss Alpaca Silk - the wimple was not "laying" right, and I didn't see the purpose of trying to block a circular garment, that would just be laying around my neck most of the time.

Irish Hiking Scarf - I'm not too thrilled with wearing a scarf that has a right side and a wrong side.

Dipsy Cable Lace Scarf - same problem. The design looks bad on the wrong side.

Fall Shrug with TLC Essentials - I didn't like how wide the arms were on the shrug, so I've decided to look for a different pattern.

Sweet Delight Socks - I didn't like the way the yarn felt. Not what I wanted to wear on my feet.

And NOW, here are the UFO's that I'm still working on:
Willa Top with Incredible yarn
Noro Kureyon Bag
Socks for a musical friend
Rust Thick & Quick Sweater
Cozy, with Indiecita Alpaca yarn

Oh! And I recently finished two items.
Baby Afghan for Charity
Wrist Warmers with Sock Yarn

now, don't you feel better?

[Shandeh]

Yeah. It was like an hour spent at the altar at church during Revival. Or, the equivalent of a good Catholic person after going to confession.

[lestrella]

You also finished a pair of socks. The one you were wearing on our first meeting, remember?

[Ingrid]

You are forgiven, my sister.

[Shandeh]

Thanks, my friends!

Lestrella, I didn't list everything I've knit. If I did that, it would take up a whole page!

WHOA! holy crap that's a LOT of knits!
AND you are managing 3 oddball blankets!

Shandeh....
you are living the dream!

[Shandeh]

Yeah, I used to be a big-time dreamer. Then, I went through major depression, finally realizing that some things are more important than money. Like peace of mind, or pursuing your dreams and goals.

Then, I made a list of all the things I wanted to do before I die. Knitting and Spinning Yarn were two of the things on the list.

Wowza!So..many cool FO's. I'am amazed!
I especially like Christening Gown and Feather and Fan baby set.
