WIP #02

WIP #20 would suit this one better


as it has been "on standby" (on the needles!) for over 20 years now. Started when I was at the University, it got as far as the front and back (nearly) knitted, but no arms at the point when it was abandoned... I just accidentally "unearthed" it last weekend when searching for something else, and am planning to call it a FWIP sometime soon (which, considering the standby time, may actually mean a couple of years...)

De boas intenções...

está o inferno cheio, diz o ditado...
e, digo eu, a terra também...

Pois é, houve, entretanto, outros WIPs que passaram a FWIPs num abrir e fechar de olhos, so to speak. Hei-de mostrá-los aqui.
Por hoje, fica um já concluído há algum tempo.



Bonito, verdade?

F-WIP #1



This is the first post on my many (un)finished WIPs.
I have taken on the commitment of finishing at least one of them per week, as of now...
I intend to use weekends to tie up any loose ends, and I will try to post every Monday or Sunday evening.
So here are some pictures of my first Finished-WIP!

This hasn't actually been a WIP for long, It is in fact my quickest blanket of all, started a little over a month ago in an attempt to clear my stash of acrylic yarn initially bought to make some bags. Said bags have been made(ish) (some are still in my WIP basket), and there was a lot of leftover yarn, whose volume I desperately needed to quickly reduce... so the leftover blanket (this sounds as a good name for it, I think) was started. Not my ideal colour combination, but the best I could achieve with the yarn at hand.

Along the way, when working on the edging I realised I was a few meters short of the dark yellow yarn... 

 
and so the leftover blanket was left at a standstill for around two weeks. Had I not run short of yarn, it would have been an ultra mega quick project (for my standards, that is...)



over and out now, and on to the next one!
