Second finish

My second finish in 2010!!! And it's only January!!!!!!!!

Yes, this comes as a surprise to me, too. Mainly because I thought my second finish would definitely be a certain scarf. But it isn’t. You see, I sustained a knitting injury, making it well-nigh impossible for me to lift my left arm, let alone finish a scarf. Perhaps trying to break the world record for speed-knitting when your knitting muscles aren’t fully developed isn’t a wise thing to do. Anyway, no scarf for Pelle. It was going to be a present for him, because the poor boy is going to have his tonsils taken out tomorrow, but now he will have to make do with a store bought gift [which he will undoubtedly enjoy more, anyway :o)]
Someone commented that it seems my boy has had to make way for the terrorist cats on this blog, so by popular demand, here’s a picture of Pelle.

I'm sorry, but there's only one thing to say about this picture, and it has to be in Dutch: wat is het toch een lekker ventje.

But I came here (and you did, too, I think) for some stitching news. Some stitching and finish-finishing news, no less. You see, the finishing bug usually only hits me around November and it lasts until December 31st, resulting in ten months’ worth of starts (imagine, if you will, what the means for my WIP and UFO piles ) and not even two months’ worth of finishes (because I’m not good at finishing). This year will be different. Yes, it will. Hey, it already is, because here’s my second finish of the year:

Faith by Carriage House Samplings stitched on 40 count plplplplllll linen (the kind I normally use) with my own choice of DMC and GAST and WDW threads.

I needed a small stitched piece for this frame, and I think it works well. Now as for my next finish… I can’t see one coming, to be honest, but last Friday I didn’t see this one coming either, so who knows what you might find here next time.

Wish Pelle luck! Here’s hoping they will operate the snot out of him.

Yours fidgetily,
Annemarie.
