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

[Nella Foster]

Amy like you I often buy yarn or cloth just because I like them.  I tell
myself that I will figure out something to do with them.

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!
