Persistence
Encouraged by so many bloggers who have been pushing themselves through the doldrums of their own projects, I finished sleeve one on Zipo this weekend!
Oh yeah, I'm getting close!

Good for you. It can be hard to stick to a project once you're bored. I just updated on River - thought I'd let you know, since you do knitalong news early in the week.

Doesn't it feel good to finish things up? I think alot of us bloggers are in this same train of thought - it must have to do with the changing of the season. Whatever the reason - good to hear you caught that bug.

Congratulations! I like knitting both sleeves at the same time ... that way I won't stay on the sleeve island for too long, I think! Wish you finish sleeve 2 soon.

Way to go! All these industrious knitters are an inspiration.

Good for you!! I'm slowly tickin away at my cardigan too, but now it's all about the River! I cast back on this weekend and I've worked to row 35, and I have joined the addicted masses. I'm loving it now.

I received my socks in the mail today, and I looooove them! I can't believe my luck that you were my sockapal2za pal. I have been reading your blog for quite sometime and had already fallen in love with the socks. I thought I'd knit the pattern for myself, but YAY!, now I don't have to! Can you tell I'm excited? Oh, and they fit wonderfully! I can't thank you enough. They were just what I needed today.
I experienced a family tragedy, well, shoot. I hate to even type this out. But my son passed away on September 3 (16 days ago). It was very unexpected and shocking, and I am still pretty numb. Needless to say, I haven't got a lot of knitting done. So receiving these gorgeous socks in the mail today was such a lift. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Sincerely,
Kristy
P.S. I have knit 12 whole rows on River. Maybe I'll get around to posting on my blog sometime this week. Thanks, again!

Yep. Peer pressure. Nothing like it to get a knitter to start something. And count me in on this finishing thing. I'm weak.
