Tripping at the Finish Line
Jun 27th, 2008 by Veronica
My crochet mojo has come and gone of late. The number of projects I have started but not finished is scary. Many of them are so close to being finished, but alas, they sit in my baskets - and closets - and chairs undone. It is a sad state of affairs. My hope is that if I embarrass myself with the number of undone projects I have lying around I’ll be able to redeem myself with a similar number of finished objects. Let the embarrassing begin.
I love this little Noro pouch, but I need to line it. The material I originally chose is behind the pouch. When I bought it I loved it. Now I’m not so sure. Part of me is screaming just line the silly thing already! Another (obviously more stubborn) part keeps holding off and looking for other material. Something silky maybe, or some funky vintage print. I don’t know.
This should be a little bag with a draw string at the top. The bag, however, is not sewn together, and I have not made the cord for the draw string. Once it is made it will also need to be lined. Unlike the Noro pouch, I love the material I chose for this bag. It makes me smile every time I see it.
See? How can you not smile at that. The world needs more pink frogs.
This will - eventually - be a little Tiramisu blanket. Cute, eh? I really don’t know why this blanket has taken me so long. Maybe because I don’t have a mommy or baby waiting for it. I loved the pattern when I saw it, so I grabbed some yarn from my stash and started making it. Now I just need to finish making it. Soon. Like before 2050. That would be good.
That’s all the pictures I have for you today, but that is not the end of my ufo (unfinished objects) list. Oh, no no. Tomorrow I will share with you the scarves and stoles that are weeping for completion. Just listen. Can you hear their quiet sobs? Yeah, that’s my fault.
