Finishitis

I know of Startitis, I have had a few serious cases of that. But now I am doing the opposite: I keep finishing -or frogging- things that have been hibernating.

Nrrdgrrl came to the Netherlands, so I finished Rikki's hat. I had knitted one for her first child, send it to South Africa by mail... and that is where it disappeared. I made an exact replica that I finished only two hours before our lunch-date, and handed it to her in person this time.

I decided to not finish the pink ribbon socks. To be perfectly honest, I did not like the first sock that much, and beyond that: I think she has a point on the subject of breastcancer and charity. Also in the frog pond: the Socks That Rock jaywalker. Too tight. And the Briochestitch scarf: Ripped.

I finished the Socks for the Road,  a plain and simple stockinette pair, in a lovely Storm in the Attic colorway. We loves them. Ofcourse I started a new sock for the road right away, in the colors of the Brazil national soccer team. I don't like soccer, but I do like these colors!

The Log cabin blanket is nearing completion as well. You have to take my word for it: I have no picture. So that leaves me only one UFO: Mermaid. Yeah. I might even take that up again! But in the meantime, she (enabler) lured me to a knitalong, one of those mystery lace knitalongs. And I was powerless. I ordered yarn, I bought me some beads, and I will be eagerly awaiting cast-on instructrions. Maybe I caught startitis again?

hey sweets, thanks again for the beautiful hat!! it will likely be used for the first time in june on a visit to europe, as we have winter here now and a different type of hats.
(i had no idea you finished it in the train... seems i'm not the only deadline junkie, tee hee)

good plan to rip the jaywalkers. i just can't see why everyone is so happy with this pattern, as it's just much too tight! i tried several times and have vowed never to do it again and discourage others ;)
that yarn is stunning though. what is it?

thanks again for a lovely lunch in rotterdam. kiss kiss!

Ja, o.k. dat pink ribbon gedoe. Eens. Zo eens. Ik heb mijn sokken afgebreid omdat ik ze wilde geven aan iemand die borstkanker had en met beide benen op de grond nuchter stond te zijn. That's it.
Allerlei dingen afmaken. Moet ik ook eens gaan doen :-)
