Perhaps one way to encourage self to pursue the goal of finishing unfinished projects would be to post some of those things finished in 2009. I think maybe they were all started in 2008 or 2009, and finished up in 2009. I must have been highly motivated by something special. A great-granddaughter born in October of 2008 -- Kylie Paige. So, I'll share here the items made for Kylie.
The first is a favorite baby cap pattern, and this picture is of Kylie wearing her cap the morning after she was born. Her mommy liked it so much she asked that I knit several in a variety of colors. One of the others I began in a yarn I had on hand and found I had enough to make a sweet sweater to go with it. It's also shown here. This is a Claire Montgomery pattern found in her book easy baby knits (for 0-3 year olds).
For Christmas this year, I made a baby shrug for Kylie, another mommy request. Although I was anticipating Kylie's growth, I didn't anticipate that she's going to be one tiny and petite little girl. So, it will take a while for it to fit our little one. Great-grandma failed to keep a picture but offer one from the Debbie Bliss book where I found the pattern. When I find the book again (checked it out at the library), I'll post it.
My next post will try to start a listing of my UFOs so I can keep track whether anyone else wants to or not!
