Dusting Off UFOs….
Anyone remember this? Yes, it has been nearly a year. This picture was taken April 12th, 2007. I had only gotten through the hem and hadn’t done the neckline or started the sleeves.
The project is Sahara from Stitch Diva Studios. After completing the hem and trying it on I was seriously worried that it wasn’t going to fit, despite the measurements and gauge swatch so it was easily cast aside when some deadline knitting came up. Then, it was warm enough that I didn’t figure I’d wear a knit tee. But, the weather and the fact that I have only one more object to knit on a deadline made me feel like pulling it out.
Actually, the fact that I didn’t have my deadline project prepped to take in public was the real catalyst to pulling this out last Wednesday. But it was worth it. I think I’ll have it wrapped tonight or tomorrow. It seems quite short, but the yarn will grow. I tried it on at SnB last night and it was mostly a hit. I still haven’t decided if I’ll wash and block before I decide to lengthen or if I’ll go ahead and add some length to the body. But, it was decided that I’d be fine just lengthening the detail stitching at the hem rather than frogging back before the hem ad putting in the length there, so that’s a relief.
I also decided to declare my Lucy Bag from August 2005 to be done. It has been at this state since then. I had thought I would go back in and add some beaded embroidery to the paisley portion, but I’ve decided I like it as is and I’m not a fan of embroidery work. So, a UFO gets decalred an FO. It doesn’t get much easier to shrink that UFO list, does it? LOL!
