Ooh, that is pretty.
Today it was cold enough that I wore the sweater I finished during the Ravellenic Games. This is the one I started in October 2010.
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

Thrive to spite them
That scarf has been put on hold. I broke the circular needles (really nice ones too) trying to pull off the yarn because I cast on way too tight. This was the second attempt to cast on and doing it too tight. So I bought new needles and yarn at a chain store and I'm making myself the same scarf as practice. Which is good because I had to pull it out twice. I'm not sure why I'm having so much problems knitting.

Trust my rage
I started a sweater in 1994. I still have the pieces. It is just missing a sleeve and a half. But it is so out of style now that I would never wear it.
Eta: before that I had finished lots of sweater and scarves and mittens. I love to knit. Maybe I should try a new project over Christmas or something.

Hey. New board.
I just started working on a sock that I stopped working on about 20 months ago. Socks are tedious and cramp my hands, but they're the only knitted thing I actually like to wear! Conundrum.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Gris, maybe use thicker yarn, so you can use bigger needles?

You too? I started a sweater in 1995 or 1996, and got everything done but the collar and the placket (it was a cardigan). I still have all the bits of it, in a tote bag in my garage...

You should frog your sweaters - reskein them and find new projects for the yarn.

I will next time. But these are cute! And the yarn is stretchy! I did an inch in about an hour the other day, and only need to do 7 inches before I get to start the next part, so if I mark it out in shifts I should be fine.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I agree with Sumi. I have done this, and been happy with the results.
Yay, socks! I am having heel issues on my Latter Day Socks, so they've been sitting on my shelf for over a year.
