2015 UFO Crawl

Happy New Year!!  2014 just flew by, it seems, with not nearly enough free time for knitting, in my opinion.  But as usual, I'm left with quite a few UnFinished Objects as the new year begins, and I'm itching to get them finished and off the needles!  I can’t even think of how many years now that I’ve been starting off the New Year with a UFO Crawl, but maybe one of these days I’ll actually finish the few projects that have been languishing on this list for far too long!

#1 - Log Cabin Blanket , in Vanna’s Choice. Started SIX years ago (Jan 2009!), I’m not sure this one is going to make it. I’ve recently learned to crochet, and I’m going a bit nuts with the granny squares and blanket ideas. I might be cannibalizing this poor blanket for its yarn, or possibly finishing it as a granny square rather than continuing to knit it.

#2 - KAL Cable Socks, in Colinette Jitterbug. Started 3/2010, these had fit issues from the beginning, but I adore how the yarn and the ribbing and the cables look together, so I’ve kept telling myself I’d do them justice one of these days.

#3 - Charade Socks, in Online Supersock. Started 3/2013, and knitted from yarn purchased while away for a birthday weekend with my sweetheart the previous Fall, the first sock is stuck at the heel turn. Apparently I lost interest.

#4 - Cashmere Smooshy Mitts, in Smooshy Cashmere sock yarn. Started 10/2013, the first one is done and lovely, and the second one is around halfway there. Hopefully I’ll get them done before the weather warms up so they can be put to good use. I’m writing this on 1/9/15, and it was about 10* here today!

#5 - Dillon’s Socks, in Paton’s Kroy Stripes. Started 3/2014, I’ve got to get these done before my teenager outgrows them!

#6 - Granny Square Blanket, in Lion Tweed Stripes. Started 11/2014, this is my first crochet project! It’s going to be six granny squares, each one made of 3 balls of yarn, then seamed together 2x3. I’ve got 3 squares done, the 4th is close to done, and I need to buy yarn for the final 2 squares.
