Determination!!

 Gathered around me are all my knitting bags—all seven of them .  I bought the bags when the granddaughter was selling 31 products.  Never can have too many bags—these bags are perfect size to hold yarn, needles, pattern, etc.  one small problem—three of the bags now hold an UFO knitting project! I hate that there are all these unfinished items—for some reason, I began with happy fingers and determination to knit a shawl, a hat, or a scarf; somewhere along the way, I lost interest and the project went to the wayside. 

Now! I have real Determination! To finish these projects! I’ve decided to take one of those bags, open it, pull out the instructions and begin—again! To complete this UFO!

First up—Elizabeth Ravenwood’s 2021 year of International Lace Scarf

Here is one page of pattern.  Most often  I use post a notes to mark the knitting row; but, I really like this one!  Unfortunately, I don’t have many of these sticky long ones.

I love orange! Love knitting this pattern too! Don’t know why I put it aside back in 2021.  

Handspun yarn half knitted with Japanese pattern

More handspun wool/silk blend—this is lace pattern, stopped with September!  Gee whiz—just four months short of finishing!

More handspun (wool/tencel blend). At least, this one does not have a pattern with it! 

I don’t want my determination to complete these UFOs to be derailed—but, sometimes determination goes away and boredom sets in and you look away at the “squirrel” moment!  

I just keep reminding myself—I’m the master of my life!  

I choose what to do when to do it!
