UFO's

UFO's, or unfinished objects, abound here at my home.  I have projects that I started to cross stitch way back when, but didn't finish due to having little ones.  I need to get those back out now and show my daughter how to do them.  :) 

Knitting projects are bothering me.  I started sweaters for my two youngest children to find that now, I really don't like the way they've turned out.  So, as with all things that stump me, I've set them aside to figure out the next step of what I'd like to do.  I don't know if I'm going to unravel all of them or if I'm going to finish them at this point.  My knitting has changed since I started them, so it may do very well to just unravel them and start all over again with something different.  I was thinking of doing something like this wonderful sweater for my daughter and one for me, just a little larger.  I would also like to make some mittens for the ladies of the family or fingerless gloves, or both.  For the men folk, I've found that they would prefer the skiing gloves from the store, so making gloves for them is pretty much out of the question because they wouldn't wear them. 

I haven't looked very much in to crocheting patterns for clothes as of late, but it will come eventually.  I'm finishing up 3 pairs of wool socks and an afghan before moving on to the above projects though.
I hope to finish all of the afghan before the end of March so I can work on the socks.  The afghan in the summer time is not a good thing since it will be so warm.  Smaller, more compact things work better for warmer months.  :)

ARGH! UFO's! I have plenty of them here. The Bee Balm sweater looks very pretty! I might have to bookmark that. Looks like something one of my dd's would like too. Maybe for Christmas this year?

Blessings my friend!

Lisa, I've come to the conclusion that UFO's are going to be a part of my life. LOL There are definately too many patterns out there and not enough time! ;)
