Danido Crafty » The UFO that haunts me.

I only really have on full on UFO. It’s the second ‘Short n’ Sweet’ bolero I made from the Stitch n’ Bitch Happy Hooker. The first one was out of a heavy cotton yarn and it sucked my will to live while I was trying to figure out the pattern. After that one I figured the second one would be a piece of cake so I whipped up another one out of lighter yarn. It went much quicker and was easier.

And here is where I discovered that once I fully know how to do something I no longer want to do it. Near the end of this second bolero I decided I had conquered crochet and wanted to brush up on my knitting. I knew how to knit already but hadn’t really progressed past basic knit stitch and some lumpy purl rows. So, I picked up my needles and started knitting. I set the nearly finished bolero aside thinking that after knitting for a bit I’d finish the last sleeve and weave in the ends.

That was eight months ago.

And here the bolero lay…lost amongst dozens of beautiful finished knitted items.

So, I ask you, dear readers do I finish the second sleeve, and weave in ends and put it up for sale (or possibly gift it, or keep it for myself?) or frog it and use the yarn for more challenging endeavors?

This is the finished sleeve.

Eh?
