[Nfb-krafters-korner] Want To Know Wednesday 12/13/17

[Henry Osborne]

Hi Nella and Everyone, oh yeah! It seems like every time I turn around or 
look in a different corner, there is a U F O lurking there lol.
Last night, I actually bound off 2 scarves, ( 1 needle knitted, and the 
other loom knitted. )
Later on today, I'll probably work on another project that is in some dark 
and almost forgotten bag.
It also doesn't help the situation any when I see a pattern that has to be 
started like um yesterday. Lol.

Guilty, guilty, guilty. Guilty and red-handed as charged!!! I'll own
up because it needs to come out, and if I am not careful, I will end
up with a serious problem.

I have two UFO's that I can find at the moment. One of those is a
beautiful, cabled sweater, an open-fronted cardigan knitted out of
Flicker yarn, a product that, alas, they stopped producing. I do
indeed plan to finish it, no question about it. I love the yarn and
want the sweater.

The other one is a hooded, red jacket knitted from wool in one piece
with small pockets and a bit of lacy trim on the hood and front edges.
I plan to finish it but may have a few issues here. Right now, I can't
seem to find the extra yarn from the project, so I may need to sew its
pockets up with matching sewing thread, ditto the hood seam that joins
the trim together. I also am ashamed to admit I have lost the buttons
I'd picked out, so I have to buy some replacements.

I also have some UFO's that, alas, I can't even find. One is a cool
tank top, knitted, with a hexagonal motif adorning the front at the
neck edge. I was on the point of knitting the shoulder seams together
when I messed it up royally. I now cannot locate it, what with moving
a few times.

Ditto the lovely pair of fingerless, lace-cuffed gloves I was making,
and the sad thing is that the yarn color I used was sold out. I
finished one glove and almost the other, then moved and lost them.

If I could find them, I'd finish them all for sure. So here are my
crafter's resolutions.

No more yarn for items for myself until I finish the jacket and the
cabled sweater.
Furthermore, no more than 2 projects at once unless I have enough
large knitting/crocheting (when I learn to crochet) or other bags to
hold them.
No purchasing of materials is permitted just because I like them; I
will buy for known purposes only and not because I like beads, a yarn,
etc.

So there you have it; I owned up, and I intend to do my future work a
better turn than my past. Lol!
