very close

frank ochre

Thank you so much for all your wonderful compliments on my sweater jacket! I really didn't expect all these words of praise. For those of you who inquired about the pattern, I promise I'll find time to write or may be publish here in the near future. Right now, there's quite a bit on my plate, so I hope you'll bear with me. Moving on, that shetland triangle shawl is almost done. I finally finished the very last row... just a few ends to weave in and some serious blocking. Next, I'm going tackle another work in progress that I started about three years ago. Yeah, did I say three years? I bet none of your knitting project is as old as this. Alrighty, I'm off to block that shawl. Have a pleasant week!

Yeah, I have an unfinished project that I started in September of 2001... 6 and a half years ago!!! I've recently decided that I will probably never complete it.

Lovely colour, we need that sunshine yellow here today! 3 years for a knit? I am not sure mine would stay un-frogged for that long!!

Wow! That's a fantastic colour.

And I bet I have the record for the oldest wip in Blogland. I've got the back of a jumper that I started knitting for my daughter when she was 14....that was in 1985!! It's black mohair - quite scratchy - with blobs of bright colours randomly placed. She changed her mind.

That is a beautiful color! I want details. Yarn? Color? Gorgeous at any rate! Hope all is well with you.

Right now? No. All my wips are much newer than that. Couldn't say that 1-1/2 years ago, though. Back then I had a sweater on the needles that I'd started 20 (yes, 20) years before. I finally frogged it, combined the yarn with some others of similar bent, and made a lap blanket it out of it. LOL

Wow, please post your pattern so we won't have to keep drooling. Also what is that heavenly yarn and color? You are a real inspiration. Thanks for bringing such pleasure to your loyal fans.

oops. I was supposed to post the above under your sweater jacket and I got so captivated with your triangle shawl, that I goofed. Please post your sweater jacket pattern when time permits. Also, what is the yarn for your shetland triangle? Lovely.

Did you ever list the yarn and the color? Saw that the question has been asked before and I apologize if you've already posted the answer and I missed it. Thanks!
