A Bluestocking Knits

My “Annie’s Cushion” from Treehouse Textiles —

Am quite pleased with this, especially now that it’s done (!).

In the midst of spring-cleaning — because, yes, in Southern California it is already spring — I have come across a number of unfinished projects, and am coming to the realization that perhaps this should be a Year of Finishing Things. I have a black cardigan with lacy trim still on the knitting needles (stalled when I decided to sew a new black choir dress altogether), a pair of socks also on the needles (wh. I have now taken on two trips intending to finish and didn’t touch once, either time) and the 1909 Ladies’ Mitts (I don’t even remember now why I set these down …) — also two counted-stitch samplers that got taken off the frame for something else and never put back, a quilt that I laid out and thought, “well, I hate that” but really deserves finishing, and two pincushions that I could use right now, in fact.

But, yeah, I have just started something new, though my excuse is that it’s a gift with a deadline …!
