#finishorfrogit2019

I was super excited to boast a 2nd #finishorfrogit2019 success... until 7 seconds after the 1st picture was taken. Turns out I'd dropped a stitch before binding off &didn't know it- this mitt is now in the Time Out Pile until I can bring myself to fix it &make its mate. To counteract the Failed Project Blues (however temporary the failure), I cast on a new mitt. New mitt, new pattern, new yarn, NEW WIP 😁 I'm a sucker for short row shaping, so I'm happier already 😍 (at KnitCaboodles) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvftTPqBILO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1g1fqk0c4u6gv

The last few days have seen quite a few #finishorfrogit2019 successes: •Whipped out a sweater for a dear little girl I know •Finished Kailin's First Communion gift •Frogged a ridiculously fiddly washcloth pattern •Frogged a baby sweater to reclaim the yarn for a request by bestie's 7 year old •Frogged the 1st dress I ever made, which gave me 2 good years (after the 5 I spent fumbling through knitting it), &so much pride in how much I've learned since even then.

#finishorfrogit2019 continued yesterday with •Mandala Madness blanket- just LOOK at those popcorns 😍 •Bramble Top- I haven't worked this in almost a year. The back is already done, &I had put the front down after finishing the bottom ribbing. A 2 hour phone call with my mom got me restarted on the main pattern •Precious Sweater- another old piece that was in hibernation for... a few months at least. I can't get over these colors, &I'm really looking forward to wearing this come summer. It just SCREAMS my name 😁 (at KnitCaboodles) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvW0KRfhCKt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tneyiho13rki
