Fall Cleaning

Fall is finally here! Definitely the best time to be on the island; the pace is slower, the weather is perfect and the color is spectacular. Of course our attention drifts to fall projects and inspiration for holiday projects.

My pledge: I will not start a new project until the UFO's are completed. Sounds good in theory, kind of like not eating sugar........

So the first step, inventory the UFO basket.  Guess what?  I have a complete ensemble  - socks, gloves, mittens, headband, hat, vest and a sweater.  Second step - prioritize; just what needs to be finished and what can I undo.  Socks - gone; mittens - finish thumbs. This is easy!  Sweater, yarn was expensive & colors great, but honestly who was I knitting this for? YIKES - I found the receipt in the pattern, did I really spend that much on this?  Now I have to finish it. Vest, finish the edge and put the damn buttons on already.  Headband has only two rows done, undo and recycle that yarn. Gloves for last Christmas, now this years present. Hat, I will never knit with mohair again, even if my life depends on it.

The total: 2 recycled, 2 quickly finished, 2 need more attention & time, and the last - well my life does not depend on a bunny hat...
