URG! What to do.





Do you remember these projects? Well I just got them back from the fiber cleaner as non-salvageable. They could do nothing to save them. The needle point kills me. The sweater is even worse. What to do? Toss them? Hold on to the smelly things to look at them every once and a while? I just don't know. Thoughts?

    don't save the sweater -- but if it is natural fiber, could you compost it and add it to your garden? That way it could contribute to something else you like!

    Hm... yeah. That's a tough one - kind of depressing. :(

    For me, I like to just make a clean sweep and I'd pitch them. You can always make another of the sweater. And you probably have the X-stitch pattern too?

    I would think that keeping them around would just remind you of the loss, so I would probably get rid of them and remember the good times.

    What a loss. I would hang on to the pictures of them but send them away.

Bowls With Boarders!

There is this great blog hop that I joined. It is called bowls with boarders. Regina came up with this great paper piece pattern - which I used to stack them this high.  Please check out all the other bowls for today! Birgit H. Vicki B. Monika G. Scher (no post) Dorothea Rosa Patch.The Love Of Sewing Nuclear Knits Cottage-Quilt Cattinka Hill Valley Quilter Ninis Patchwork   I wanted a table runner but didn't want to keep stacking bowls - so I decided to take my favorite fabric and use it on the other half. After that I decided my love of hexagons had to come out as well.  This was an incredibly fun project!  You should check out the rest of the bowls on the site.  So impressive!

Yep.  I have totally slacked on updates.  I’ve been actively working down my year of project stuff.  But it has been a hot minute since I posted.  Let’s cover the good. I finished a few things.  A sweater (Sylvia) that has been on the needles for a year.  Roving that has been sitting for a year and the Hitchhikers shawl that was part of my planned year of project work.   Now for the bad.  I have two projects on my year of project list that just aren’t speaking to me.  One is a pair of mittens on fingering weigh and the other is fingerless mitts (which the pattern is just painful).   In the new year I plan to assess what is working and what I’m hating and focus on the things I enjoy.  Life is too short to work on projects we hate! On my list for yop I still have 3 official projects to complete.  I might swap the sweater pattern.  The plan for the week is coming together!

I took this photo just so you couldn't make out the colorway or really much of the pattern. Just a sneaky little shot to show you something that I'm currently working on. For those of you out there still wondering ... yes the Yogini sweater is coming along. I'm probably only 2 inches from finishing the second sleeve and then the trim. I know, I really should work harder to finish it!
