My UFO report

Hi everyone! I'm Tamar and I blog over over here. I'm glad to have found you because I have this crazy/naive idea that I can get some closure on my UFOs before the end of August, when I am due to have my first baby! There is lots of inspiration here and I've already made a little progress since joining up - if only sorting out my lagging projects and figuring out what I need to do.

In-progress "Shedir"

First up is a Shedir hat . I'm embarrassed to say when exactly I started this, and admittedly I did have to frog back the whole star section at the top, so hopefully the second time around I will be able to put it to rest.


Next are some "Rib and Cable Socks" from the Fall 2005 Interweave Knits. The first sock is done, but I'm dawdling on its mate.

Stripey glove (1 finished)

Another project in need of a mate...these stripey gloves made with a pattern from The Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns.

In-progress "Short and Sweet" jacket

I know, this one looks like a weird reddish blob, but it's actually one of my favorites of the projects I'm working on: the "Short and Sweet" jacket from The Happy Hooker.

Noro scarf

This here is a multidirectional scarf, presently much farther along than what you see here.

Progress on Jeff's sweater

Finally, there's Jeff's Aran. I love working on this sweater, but all the little projects keep getting in my way. I don't feel the need to finish this one anytime soon, but I'd like to make some progress on it.

One UFO I decided to frog entirely: poor Branching Out from Knitty taught me the basics of lace knitting, but I just didn't feel like knitting the whole scarf.

Well, hopefully soon I'll be doing a FO report!

Nice work! I have wanted to make that shedir hat myself, its very nice. Did you find it difficult?

As is for most of us we have lone socks, mittens, etc. that need their mates :o)

Thanks, Angela! Shedir wasn't super hard for me, although there is one place in the chart that has a mistake and nearly drove me insane! (I can look at my notes for you and let you know where it was, if you're interested in making the pattern.) Also, I learned that I much prefer knitting cables flat rather than in the round, but you might find it quite easy!

Oh yes, I do plan on making that in the future if you have your notes on the pattern I would appreciate it so I don't have to find out the hard way :o)

I have only knit cables flat too, so I wonder how I will like doing it in the round.
