E is also for environmentalist, a synonym for Neal. He’s made me take second looks and have second thoughts about the impact of what I’m doing on our beloved Mother Earth.
E is for Enough with Not Finishing things. And for encouragement.
Kirsten and I have joined up to make August the month to Get Some Things Finished a.k.a. UFO Knitters Unite. This is an informal deal, but there is a Flickr group set up if you’d like to get a dose of encouragement for your own finishing up with things. Here’s a glimpse of what I hope to finish this month, but there are a few items that are gifts for folks who read this blog, so they will remain hidden.
Neal’s Christmas (ahem) 2005 socks. I have to finish the short row heel on the second sock and knit the cuff.
I’ve got a perfect Project Spectrum knit to complete this month: Chickami. The yarn is brown, purple, and orange–could it work out any better? I’m enjoying this knit as I watch the final season of the Sopranos.
This mysterious thing is Mystery Stole 3. I’m a Slow Bee, but I’m hoping to catch up with the clues this month. No need for links here, right?
I’ve also got a Shadow Shawl on the needles, but I really need to concentrate on that to remember what I was doing with it last year.
Let me know if you’re joining us in Eradicating UFOs!
Yes I joined the August UFO group as I am in a sorry state these days–too much unfinished business!
I just helped Carmela RIP her Shadow Shawl last week. She said it felt liberating to get rid of the thing. I told her to take the yarn and make a Chevron Scarf. It’s nice to know there is more then one way to eradicate a UFO 🙂
Finish that Chickami, it will look great on you!
