So a friend-of-a-friend type of thing got me started following Life In Cleveland. And she's declared that in February you should Finish the things you already have started. At first, I thought this didn't really apply to me - I haven't been knitting very long and I don't have many projects on needles. Then when I went looking I found that I have 3 pairs of socks, a pair of mittens, a handbag, and a scarf in various stages of done-ness. To knitters, not much, right?
To my husband, a crazy amount of things.
Plus, there are those quilted things that aren't done either...
So I decided to jump on the bandwagon! I updated this blog (does that count as finishing?) so it will be ready for the Next Big Adventure this summer. (Yosemite and the OR coast. With my own kid plus a spare 8-year-old.) And then I finished these:
Very toasty thrummed mittens. It's hardly been cold here this winter but that's OK. I also find that you don't want to wear these when you have anything involving dexterity going on. Unlocking the door is impossible since you can't find a key in your pocket with these monster mitts on.
They're entered in the first week's contest though! And now to finish some socks...
