BabyCardigan/Matinee Jacket

I know I said I was bored of knitting but I appear to have been bitten by the finishing bug.

I found a matinee jacket I started knitting when my sister was pregnant with my now seven and a half year old niece. It was almost complete all it needed was for me to finish the buttonhole band and sew it up, how hard can that be? Not as hard as I have clearly been imagining for the past seven and a half years. A little effort and time was all it took.

This is the finished article.

The sewing up might be a little ropey but its finished, and that all that matters. 

It shouldn't really surprise me that it lay waiting all these years it's knit in 4ply yarn, what was I thinking?

UFO’s or should that be WIP’s?

Today I have also been sorting through all my UFO’s (unfinished objects) or WIP’s (works in progress). I thought there were about six but horrifically there are 20, you can see them listed in the side bar. humm….

This is just one of them I blogged about it here last year when I started it! The attic windows play mat, the child I was making it for is now walking, so I guess she won’t be needing it!

So my challenge is to try to finish at least three of them before the end of the year. Or should I finish one before I am allowed to begin a new project, a tactic I have used successfully in the past. Maybe I should do both……. decisions decisions…..!!
