There are 9 items in total: 4 cardigans, 2 scarves, 2 cowls and 1 crochet project.
Embarrassing? Yes, slightly. But there are worse skeletons to have in one’s cupboard, aren’t there? And I can’t be the only one, surely?
My resolution is to finish them all in 2020, or rip out the ones that I don’t want to finish anymore and repurpose the yarn. I’ll write about them here, now and then, hoping that they’ll provide some inspiration, or an interesting or funny story. The only rule I’m imposing on myself is that they should all be gone (finished or repurposed) by the end of the year.
I plan to take the UFOs out of their hiding place one at a time, and transfer them, one by one, to the basket I made last year. I’ll place the basket in plain sight, so that I won’t forget it.
If you had not pointed out the ‘wrong’ things I would not have noticed.
It looks like a nice cardigan and I don’t usually like pockets but yours look good!
It seems like the longer I knit, the more finicky I become. But you’re right, it’s a nice cardi and I think I will wear it a lot.
Lovely cardi! I like nice details too.
I just discovered a book by a Swedish author that I think will change my attitude to finishing garments. I hate doing buttonbands, for instance. They never turn out well. But now, with this book I am inspired to try.
There is an English translation, if you are interested:

Thank you for the tip! On Amazon I was able to look inside and it looks like a very thorough reference book. I’ve put it on my wish list.
