Don't worry--they do <i>eventually</i> get done. I've found that keeping track of stuff on my blog is a motivater and the knit-along is great for keeping me going! xDHannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16228959079059836767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-34395242670154225702010-08-15T08:34:25.264-04:002010-08-15T08:34:25.264-04:00Hana, :D.

You have to figure out which sides of the loops to go through and it takes a while! No worries. All of our project lists are huge. It's terrible! I have tons of wearable items that just need button holes or something small and I'm just never in the mood to do them.Stephanie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324411278252488163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-58013507096404176262010-08-15T07:42:35.109-04:002010-08-15T07:42:35.109-04:00NOT a train accident, don't worry. :-) Just a ...NOT a train accident, don't worry. :-) Just a knitting accident...Hana - Marmotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532515160608083460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-21035348464399996302010-08-15T07:41:26.228-04:002010-08-15T07:41:26.228-04:00The problem now is that I have about a million pro...The problem now is that I have about a million projects going on at once, and I seem to have them out all at once... Now I'm dabbing into millinery as well. *phew* I should keep them in more order!<br />I was taking my knitting on train, and an accident happened, which is part of the reason why I was slacking on it.Hana - Marmotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532515160608083460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-7841922473114101942010-08-15T06:59:44.903-04:002010-08-15T06:59:44.903-04:00Hanna, I love the colors you picked.

Your current projects list is about as long as mine.

Normally when my mom and sister and I watch a T.V. show together. I can never just watch T.V., I always have to be doing something else. You can also take your knitting with you when you go out--you can't normally with sewing. I can't wait to see your stays when they are done as well.Stephanie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324411278252488163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-20899193495036560862010-08-14T05:21:43.301-04:002010-08-14T05:21:43.301-04:00I'm slacking on this...

I got an apetite for sewing my corded stays again, but today I'll, hopefully, knit some... and post about it.<br />Yours looks good so far!Hana - Marmotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532515160608083460noreply@blogger.com
