February's UFO Challenge Project

Judy L has posted the next number for the UFO Challenge. My #1o is a BOM from Carol Doak's Yahoo group. I went in the sewing room and found the project bag and started looking back through my blog for history of this quilt. This BOM started September 2007, here is a post showing my first block. Then another post from June 2009 showing more progress including some unsewing.

I didn't see any other posts about this quilt. Kind of odd because I really like this top. My bad habit continues. Finish the top, put it on Mt. ToBeQuilted and forget about it. At least the backing and binding were in the bag with it. I think this top calls for some special quilting. Since I will be keeping it for myself, I won't stress about it too much.

Looking Back

While reading Judy L's post this morning, I started wondering exactly when I started knitting so I went way back in my blog and found my first knitting post. I can remember how excited I was to actually knit something.

And now looking at my chunky legs in my first socks makes me feel like I have accomplished something pretty great. I can actually knit and I can actually follow a pattern.

Here is my first sock post. It really is too bad that the links to Socks 101 are no longer valid. She had some great posts. I am going to have to dig for my papers and see if I can find her on the net. Here is my post on my completed socks. Almost 4 years ago!

These are wool socks and I accidentally put them in the washer and dryer. I cried for a very long time! Then I gave them to my granddaughter. We were talking about these the other day. They no longer fit her. I should get them back so I can keep them. Just because.

I don't know how many pairs of socks I've made, I could keep looking back and count them but I'm not going to today. I think I'd like to sit and knit but I'm not going to do that either. Not yet anyhow.
