Well, I’ve finished one project that was on my list, and one that wasn’t, but was still a UFO, ON (on hook, really).
I remembered that there were two more sets of small drawers where there were some balls of crochet cotton, spools of ribbon, beads, etc.
When I delved in, I found an unfinished doily, the very beginnings of an unfinished crochet cotton tablecloth (5 squares of 108!), a beaded amulet bag that just needs the neck strap done, and a piece of orange perle cotton with some orange beads strung on it (I think I was planning on knitting a necklace).
The doily had quite a bit of thread pulled out, presumably I pulled back to a point where it was correct; so I decided that it looks as if it might be the closest thing to done, and pulled it out. I finished it during some of my insomniac nights, and here’s some photos of it:
all floppy off hook
pinned and blocking
in use
I haven’t done any thread crochet for I can’t even guess how long – probably the late 90s, so it was nice to have it come right back, but at the same time, I blame that for any flaws seen here.
I also finished Oncology Hat #2:
Ready to wear
I’m really jonesing to start something new, but I want to get a couple more UFOs out of the project bins into the FO pile before I start something else. Maybe now is the time to start weaving in ends on all those scarves I made last year; or the baby top that needs seaming; or finish that baby-afghan-turned-cat-blanket-because-of-the-huge knot-of-fiber-that-is-making-it-unsuitable-for-human-consumption. But instead, I have picked up the cabled pillow top. I haven’t gotten to a cable yet, but I’m not having the problems I had before. The next row will be the moment of truth. . .
