I have 2 projects that need to be finished, one by this weekend. The larger project involves weaving in ends & sewing on pockets, finishing details that are ‘least favorite’ things to do. Sigh. Some project magic from Glenda the Good Witch would be fantastic!
Ah, yes...but most of the fun is in STARTING them! LOL!
I start them and get bored. Then go back to them later, work a little, start something else... well, you get the drift.
I think I have seven in various stages of completion. Must be my Adult ADHD. ;o]
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
That’s no fun.
There’s a lot of satisfaction in doing them.
GREAT pattern, IMO. Works up nicely & actually met my 'expectations', which many patterns do not. I did make some minor changes such as adding a shell to get gauge width (multiples for this given in pattern) and I added a dc on the end of each row for both the shawl & pockets so my first stitch every row wasn't a BPdc (in particular) or FPdc. I hate post stitches, but the post stitches did work into a nice border/pockets. An added bonus (for me) to adding that extra 'dc' - the edges had a bit of a decorative 'scallop' border on the outside edge of the post stitch border - this blends with the shells.
Here's the link to the pattern:
One more thing - I had 6 skeins of Wool Ease (color: Fishermen) left over from a wedding afghan I made. I'd been saving the yarn for something special when this project came up. The project called for 5 skeins, but I always end up using more yarn .... I used almost all 6 skeins, so this worked out perfectly & makes the project doubly satisfying!
