2 "LOST" FOs !

I received a message on Ravelry about one of my project, Abertay & asked if the picture of the wip can be used. This suddenly prompted me to start looking for it as I remembered finishing it sometime last year. My search came up with 2 "LOST" FOs at the bottom of the basket.

Abertay is one of them & I remembered that I left it in the basket so that I can block it when I have time but somehow forgot all about it. So, Abertay is now blocked ......

..... and it's gorgeous ! How can I forget this lovely knit & left it in the basket for so many months. It looks great on Lydia .....

.... wore in different ways & of course the yarn is soft & light - it's Irene's Helios !

The other "LOST" FO is this ......

..... it was all done & does not require blocking but I just did not like the way it turned out & I guess I just wanted to "forget" that I knitted it. It's a circular vest form Elann & I knitted in Cleckheaton's 4ply natural cotton. I love the cotton but ......

..... it just don't look right when worn. This is the long version & below is the short version ....

.... it just look messy when I wear it & it's all over the place. Maybe I am just too fussy & want my garment to sit properly. For the time being, this project is back in the basket.

Over the Easter weekend, I wanted to knit a quick project & found this pattern. It was a quick project - cast on Good Friday & cast off Easter Saturday & I used up 2 skeins of my sock stash ...

.... I used 2 strands of sock yarn (Helios again) & 6mm needles. This top is knitted top down so there's no seaming at all. I did lengthened the sleeves & the body & it looks great .......

...... I love this little top & it's just nice for the cool weather now. I do want to knit another one & use up more of my sock yarn !
