And sort of a blog fail. I finally finished all the Euroflax linen gift somethings yesterday. I had this grand idea to knit a bunch of them, finished four.
Now that they’re (mostly) gifted, I can tell what they are. Don’t be too excited, I spent all of December knitting garter stitch linen face cloths.
I know, right? Those shouldn’t be too hard. They are just big garter stitch squares. And I forgot to take photos of the first three (the green, pink, and lavender ones) before I mailed them off. These are for my sisters, I packaged them with some nice bath soap. Linda just got one, the yellow one was finished yesterday so I’ll get it in the mail when we figure that the crush at the post office is over.
I’m not doing a whole finished project thing for those. It’s Euroflax linen, sport weight. I used this pattern. It starts with 3 stitches, increases every row until it’s wide enough, then decreases back to 3 stitches. “Wide enough” for me was 89 stitches.
You would think that with as few things that I finish around here, that I’d remember to take pictures. Oh well.
I organized all my knitting projects today and got them out of the jumble that they’d turned into.
That is 4 lace shawls, 2 pairs of socks, 2 sweaters, a Hitchhiker, and another linen washcloth. And Ripley. My plan is to finish one of the sock pairs, one of the sweaters, and one of the lace shawls next. We’ll see how that goes. Ripley said she’d help.
So is Ripley the hitchhiker? Thanks for the pattern. I put it into my Ravelry library. I admire those who catalog all of their finished projects. I have just come to the conclusion that I will never be one of them. I’ve done good if the project gets finished. Happy New Year.
But can you really trust a cat to do what she says she will? Lol!
Good luck on your finishes. I finished all the Christmas knitting required for Christmas Day, despite a one week trip to Colorado for youngest son’s graduation from college. I’m now knitting two more hats for Christmas with my brother and his family, when they come back from a trip.
I finished 2 pairs of socks and a cowl. To be fair, one pair only needed Kirschner stitched toes and ends woven in, and the other was started in October. The cowl…. yarn bought the morning before. Whew!
