So, I did mention in an earlier post that 2009 is a year for just being. May I just add that's it's also going to be a year for finishing. Things I've started, but haven't finished, things I've thought of, but not followed through. Yes, already I've been on the right track.
See this shrug - I've promised it to C two winters ago. Yes! And I've finally finished it, it's such a hugeeee weight off my back. Now everytime I start on a new project, I don't have this haunting over my shoulder. I have to say, there is immense satisfaction in completing things. Just don't let me drag on about how hard it was yesterday, frantically trying to finish the last five rows. But the other reason for the deadline was also that today is C's 30th! I've known her for 12 years now, and it's been a joy all the way. I'm so glad I could at least present her with a promise I made her all those years. And she's been extremely patient (although she did give me endless grief about it).
Anyway, this is it. Stephanie Japel's Two-Toned Shrug, done on 8 and 5mm circular needles. The wool is Graphite (from the Rustic range) 8-ply from Bendigo Woolen Mills. It was overall, a joy to knit.
Next up, my beloved's sweater (Jared Flood's sweater from Interweave Knits Autumn 2007).
