Tackling that UFO Hall of Shame

As you might know, back in Sept. 2002 Claudia threw down the gauntlet and invited everyone to share their UFO's. I dutifully complied (see Sept. 16th entry) and came up with a huge list. Now just a measily 15 months later I've taken another look and noticed that I actually have finished some things.

My biggest (and smallest) accomplishment is that I've finally finished a pair of socks. I think it was the switch to 1's that did me in. I made dozens of bulkier socks, the smallest needle size was 3. Tonight I finally finished the Regia socks.

I also took apart that alpaca sweater and made it into a Pi Shawl and finished the autumn colored handspun. I took the Coup d'Etat cardigan to school and finished the first sleeve in study hall. Who knows, maybe I can finish the sage mohair and the Bendigo cardigan this week (yeah, right!)

You go, girl! See you at spinners on Sunday? I want to see that handspun sweater...

Congratulations!!! The socks look terrific. I hope you get to keep them! The shawl is gorgeous. It looks like it feels really soft.

I'll try to remember to wear it, Karen. See you Sunday.

June, the shawl really is soft, I've been using it as a throw across my legs, it's lightweight but quite warm.

I am still tackling a few pernicious UFOs, among them, a fair isle for my son, cast on in 1998. I am wondering if it will fit anyone when its finally done.

Maybe a grandchild??? I know, that was a pretty low shot, especially for Christmas Eve.

Way to go Charleen! I've got a black alpaca Pi shawl too. We'll both wear them at the same time someday and be twins...;-)
