The Knitter's Last Stand

Old and not so old UFO's

This pretty little jumper has been languishing in the UFO pile for about 6 - 8 months I think.

It is finally finished.

The yarn is Spotlight brand Baby 4 ply and the pattern is from an old Guardian Angels knitting book.


This jumper has been waiting to be sewn up and have the buttons put on for about 12, maybe even 18 months.

The yarn is Peter Pan 8 ply and the pattern is from the "Panda Baby Boutique".

The yarn is soooooooo soft and knits up beautifully.

This scarf has been my mindless take along project for quite a while.

In the end it was soooooooo tedious to knit that I just didn't want to know about it any more.

The yarn is 4 ply pure wool that I got from "The Knitting Yarn Shop"

Katt and I looooove this store as they have some lovely yarn at a fabulous price and they are sooooooooo quick with their deliveries.
This little beanie only took me a few hours to whip up.

The yarn is ancient Patons Azalea 3/4 ply doubled throughout.

The pattern is an old faithful from the Patons Winter Warmers pattern book.



This is my cardigan that has been waiting to be sewn together and have the buttons put on for a few years (maybe about 3 years I think).

I can't remember which pattern I used as it wasn't with it but the yarn is an 8 ply acrylic that was made by Coats Patons when they were open that I picked up at a garage sale somewhere.

I am sooooooo pleased with myself that I have finished these projects as it means that I can now start a few more things and not feel guilty.

At the moment I am working on my secret santa project for S'n'B, "Baby Norgi" again (another UFO that I hope to finish soon), the Westbury socks and a new jumper for miss 4 in Patons Feathersoft 8 ply.

Oh well it's nose to the grindstone again.

Until next time keep on knitting.

  • Wow Cathy,
    Congrats on all the UFo's completed. I love your cardi, it looks so nice and warm, and all the other knits are lovely too.

  • Such talent! I wonder if I'll ever be able to knit something other than a scarf ... or a baby blanket ... or a hat. Even if I do - I doubt I'll ever churn out beautiful sweaters like you've done!!!

  • Cathy, these are awesome!

    The hat, is it easy enough for a real beginner like me?

    I like that hat, and winter is coming here. My sons and daughter might actually wear it to school!

  • Well done Cathy, what a great feeling it is to cross some WIPs off your list. And they look so good, I am a huge fan of Winter Warmers.

  • You are a busy beaver Cathy! Do you sell your goods in Launceston anywhere? I love those baby jumpers!
    Thanks for your well wishes.

  • You can now do whatever you want! So many FOs surely buy you lots of UFOs? Isn't that how it works?
