Another FO, one more to go!

I knit this mini cardi from Fitted Knits about four years ago, but didn't have the buttons. It was a fairly quick and easy knit. But it's too small, so i don't think I'll be wearing it any time soon.

Finishing UFOs

I've decided to finish all of my projects, knitting and otherwise, that have been hibernating before starting new ones. And then I'm going to try to knit and crochet my stash before buying more yarn. I don't have too many UFOs, so this shouldn't be too difficult to do.

I think this is the first sweater I knit, and it went fairly quickly. But there was a lot of finishing up to do -- sewing seams, buttons, pockets -- so it ended up unfinished for about six years. In that time, it got attacked by moths, so I had to patch a hole on the back, which was quite annoying. But now it's done and I have a nice sweater jacket to wear in the fall.

Knit Lace Bolero

This is my first knitting project this year! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. But I feel like the weather has gone from cold to unbearably hot overnight, so I don't know if I'll get to wear it. I could barely get the pictures taken, since it's pretty uncomfortable wearing a sweater in 80 degree weather without air conditioning.
