Missed Deadline

With school starting and the summer heat hitting us full blast, my knitting has fallen by the wayside. Originally I had hoped to have the back of eldest nephew's sweater finished by the end of August. Yeah, no.

But I'm close. 

On Saturday, I managed to do a little work on this. By "little work," it was something like ten rows. But that's better than nothing. This is done when it's 27 inches long...

So, I've only got a few inches to go. (If you can't see it, I believe the tape measure is showing 23 inches. Or 25 inches. I believe it's actually closer to 23, though, just due to me not being able to get the tape measure to sit flat on the piece.) 

Not ideal, but I didn't actually believe I'd have the back done by the end of August. It was a hope, really. And one I'm not surprised to have missed. Ah well.

It's getting there. Eventually.

  1. You do seem to get them done in time in the end. That's a nice pattern.

  2. As always, I think you'll get it done in the end. In the meantime, it's looking good.

  3. You'll get there. I just started crocheting again after not having time to do it for quite a while. I'm really enjoying it.

  5. I'm sure you'll get it done in time. Your work is beautiful. I tend to work best under pressure. I say that, and yet I'm still working on a Halloween quilt from 2023.

    1. At the moment, I wonder. But I didn't promise Christmas, so if I don't make it...

I appreciate your comments.

I respond to comments* via email, unless your profile email is not enabled. Then, I'll reply in the comment thread. Eventually. Probably.

*Exception: I do not respond to "what if?" comments, but I do read them all. Those questions are open to your interpretation, and I don't wish to limit your imagination by what I thought the question was supposed to be.
