I have finished several things and started more. Always too much on the needles.
I finished the Simple Yet Effective Shawl. I saw SouleMama doing it and it sent me straight to my stash. I think it is the first thing that I have ever went “straight to the stash” for and actually cast on and off with any persistence.
I also finished Habitat by Jared Flood of Brooklyntweed. Nothing inspires me to knit quite like the designs of Mr. Flood. Almost immediately I cast on a second hat and am toying with the idea of the accompanying fingerless mitts called Humanity by another Jared-lover. (as a side, E was all too happy to model the hat…as long as she could read while she did it…)
I finished a hat for a friend at church who has just finished chemo (no photo, it was on and off the needles in a couple of days), and am also finishing a vest I cast on long (long, long, long, long) ago. I have started a shrug for E that I am totally winging because I cannot find the book I knit the first one out of.
And that doesn’t even begin to cover the things that are older or in the cue…a knitter’s work is never done!

Yes, us knitters have a hard lot in life, it’s true.
Loving that hat!

I’m inspired to try that shawl pattern. Wonderful to see what you’ve been knitting!
