Finish or Frog

I joined an online challenge for September (and maybe October) where we are challenged to find some unfinished projects and either finish them, or decided we are never going to finish them, and, in knitting terms, frog them. I found a few.

First, I had the three pairs of promised baby socks. These two pairs were finished.


While looking for some yarn to make one more pair, I found a nearly finished baby sock, so my first finish of the month was to complete the found pair.


Three pair, finished and delivered.

Next, I had started a Musselburg Hat. This had is hugely popular in the knitting community but I found it an incredible bore. So hat...


became a ball of yarn, No doubt it can be made into more baby socks.


Next was a pair of fingerless mitts, that I started in April, but only made one mitt.


Now there is a pair.

I'm currently working on a cowl, I started nearly a year ago.


You need to pay attention to the knitting, so this will take awhile, yet, but maybe in October, I'll have it finished.

I also finished my July/August socks. That is pair #6 for 2025.


I rewarded myself for all those finishes with some bright new socks for TV and meeting knitting.


Another batch of happy socks.

The cats have been leaping from my new cutting table to the window in the basement, so we made them a ladder from IKEA storage boxe.


I'm not sur they have the idea yet.

I will leave you with a picture I caught after supper recently. Sometimes, you look out at just the tight time.

  1. Well done on all those finishes! The cat ladder - cladder? - is an excellent idea, no doubt the kitties will think so soon too. We have had some amazing sunsets of late.

  2. I too congratulate you on your finishes -- and agree about the Musselburgh hat. Decades ago I made a similar hat (by request, I think) from a pattern in one of my mother's old books - never again. If I want do to that much plain knitting, I'll stick to a top-down pullover or a cowl or socks! LOL!
