WTF are they saying?

Do I knit into the point stitch 7 times?

Nicky Love It (not really) (2011 Finish # 3)

I am frogging this project. I just don't like it and don't think I will wear the finished wrap.

Action plan needed......

So I have been thinking. Yeah I know that is probably dangerous but whatever!

I need a plan to conquer the 12 projects in my 2011 Finishing Project. I have come up with the plan of attack. Every Thursday, until they are finished or frogged, I am going to select three projects from the remaining list and I am going to focus on those projects for the next week.

This weeks selection are:

Square Me Some Simple Reading Knitting (2011 Finish # 10)
Bean Counter's Baudelaire (2011 Finishing # 15)
Shadow Shoulder Shawl (2011 Finish # 4)

Perhaps I will take pictures of the current state of the projects and at the end of the week another round of pictures for progress show and tell.

This is a work in progress. I know that I need to take action to be successful and this is my action plan today.

2011 Finishing Project - Draft 2

So unless I knit continuously from this moment until midnight Friday night I probably wont finishing anything else this year. This will probably be the final inventory.

Projects 7, 8 and 14 have been finished prior to year-end. I left them in the line up because they were assigned numbers and thought it would look funny with numbers missing. Perhaps that is the black and white bean counter in me.

I will put the final inventory up sometime right after the start of the new year.
