Projects Finished!!!!!

Despite my good intentions, I waited a bit too long to start this Cardigan that I am donating to the Mardi Gras Auction. I did think (a whole lot) about exactly how I wanted it to look, and what yarn to use, what size to make, but I didn't start knitting until about January 8th. Then I didn't seriously work on it until last week, so I was starting to get a little nervous that I wouldn't finish it in time, or that I would finish, but that I wouldn't like the end result and I wouldn't have time to do anything about it. Now I am done, and all in all, I am pretty happy with it - I think. It does have that retro vibe, but it is also kind of corny. Hopefully someone will think it is great and pay alot of money for it - got to keep our tuition down you know!

The felted bag was easier, I can whip those out quickly, so I wasn't too worried about that. With sweaters though, the finishing always takes me longer than I think it will. Finishing can easily add a day to my completion date. That should be a big clue to me that on design work with deadlines, I should not procrastinate! I just hope I am listening and learning.
