D is for Done

Done, done. DONE!  What you can't believe it? Neither can I. I actually finished a knitting project! It has been such a long time I forgot what it feels like. Gwen's scarf is finished just in time for the warmest spring in a while here in Florida. Not that she will need it more than 12 days a year, but it is what she wanted so I made it for her and she loves it.


I just love the color and the acrylic yarn was a pleasure to knit, until I got to the giant knot. Though I am sure that was operator error.

Follow your craft,
Michelle

    Congratulations! I love the feeling of finishing a project! I made scarves for my mom, sister and dad this year for Christmas...I think only my dad who lives in Maine actually got to use his! Florida is just too hot!!

      I know it is too hot for a scarf, but she wears pants in the summer so what can I tell you.

      Thanks for stopping by,
      Michelle

    YAY!!! But don't you find yourself a little sad as a project comes to a close? I have this really weird habit of starting to tidy up my craft table and supplies when I have just a few things left to do to finish a project. Almost like I'm stalling on having to finish it.

      Not me by the time I am done with something I am usually sick of looking at it. I like to learn something and move on. So a long commitment like the scarf was very hard for me. I can understand not wanting to give it away after it is completed though. I have had that problem with being attached to something I am making.

      Thanks for visiting,
      Michelle

    Michelle,

    This is lovely! I have only ever knitted one thing, and it did not turn out this well.

    Found you on the a to z, and will definitely be back to read more. I am a follower now! :)

    Feel free to take a peek at my blog too if you have time, I am doing a travel theme:

    best,

    Hello, Fellow Challenger. I'm #424 from Rockin' Chair Reflections. Come visit when you can. I've lived long enough, now, to actually have my own crafting shop next to the house with all my supplies from Lord knows how many projects! We will NOT discuss how many are unfinished! Great post.

      WOW a crafting shop would be a dream come true. Just a small room where I wouldn't have to pack up everything every time would make the process a little faster.

    Never tried knitting, but I do love sewing. I've tried several times and I always end up screwing up and then I have no idea how to fix it. Or I start gaining stitches every row and it grows wider as it gets longer.

    I love knitting scarves. Simple and fun. But this winter I'd like to try something more challenging. :-)
