After repeatedly telling everyone that I was “almost” done with the blanket I’d been knitting since late 2004, I can now finally say that it is “completely” done. Here’s the proof:

The color is a little off–it was too dark in the house when I took the photo and I couldn’t get it quite right. I’m quite pleased with the blanket, though. I used Jo Sharp Classic DK wool and I love it love it love it.

I’ve started another project in the same yarn (different color–again not reproducing well), which I probably won’t finish for a while since it’s among a total of 4 sweaters I have in process. NOTE: Those are not bobbles! I don’t like bobbles so much. What may look like bobbles in this picture is actually blackberry stitch. The “blackberries” are little and protrude less than bobbles.

This one, for Ezra, will probably happen sooner. For this one I’m using Tahki Donegal Tweed. So far so good.
Again, the color is a bit off. This one is a woodsy green.

We wandered into Woolcott last night, and there were so many lovely yarns, but I have so much going right now that I feel guilty buying any new yarn. I will need a new scarf for next year, and I wouldn’t mind actually knitting something for summer, and then there are the babies in my life, and friends (you know who you are) who wonder why I’ve never knit anything for them. Well, I knit in waves, and I’m hesitant to make anything if I’m nervous that it won’t come out well or that the recipient won’t like it. Not great excuses, but it’s all I’ve got.
