Finally--UFOs to FOs

UFOs are common in the knitting world--UnFinished Objects. These are projects started enthusiastically, knitted on furiously and laid aside for many reasons. The buttonband needs to be sewn on. The ends need tied in. A mistake discovered 10 rows back needs a bit of attention. It needs to be (gasp) "finished" (aka, blocked and sewn together.) Christmas is pressing in (well it was). The most common reason of all is that another, more alluring skein of yarn seduced the knitter into a new project. Having experienced all of these reasons in the past year, my DD (Darling Daughter) expressed shock, and maybe a tinge of disapproval, when she wangled a confession from me (shortly after another trip to the yarn store, I believe) that I had not one, not two, but 10 UFOs lurking as skeletons in my knitting closet. Here are pictures of the transformation of two UFOs (actually, counting DD's hat, I have finished three--see below or go to her blog: Just a Glimpse for a photo. )The little purple sweater is for my precious grandniece, Ruby Mae. The scarf is named Branching Out and is a gift to my beloved sister-in-law, Terese, who is expanding her horizons and is in the midst of her master's in social work.
