A finish again though I am not sure if it counts for the Challenge 2009. I bought the wool summer 2007 for DD1. She likes knitting, the wool was on sale in the quiltshop and I couldn't go wrong with the color. DD always goes for purple, pink or black. The wool was a beautiful purple. On arriving home I thought I could make a start for her. But after a while it looked like it was going to be a pullover. Oh why shouldn't I knit the pullover for her and give it to her on her birthday in November (2007)? But like always only a minute from the finish I loose interest in things. That is also the reason for all my UFO's. I did not finish the pullover and thought I might give it for Christmas. Of course it was not finished. Then I wanted to give it to her on SIL's birthday in Februari 2008, her birthday November 2008, Christmas 2008, but no pullover yet. Untill a few days ago a bag literally fell off a shelf into my hands. The pullover! And since today is SIL's birthday again and we are going their direction, I thought I might as well finish that pullover. And I did!! It is a good feeling to have it out of the way and have a little less clutter in my sewing room. Yep, I am proud of myself. Hope to get many things done this month to keep that feeling.

De trui is mooi geworden en paars wordt het volgens mij helemaal dit voor jaar.
Fijne zondag Hennie
Just gorgeous - love everything about it - of course it is a project complete for February!

You and I are twins. I am also very bad about getting things almost finished, and then setting them aside. But I didn't realize anyone ELSE noticed this, until my ex husband was at my house a few years ago and I showed him my nearly-finished queensize log cabin quilt (I had only a few feet of binding left to stitch down) and he said "Nice. But you won't finish it, you never finish anything." :-O
By the way--I finished stitching the binding later that same day.
Wooow, dat zijn wel héééééél lange begin-boorden geworden, in lengte en in tijd. DD zal er blij mee zijn, 't is een mooie!
Well done. She must have been thrilled.
She was very happy with it. The pulllover fits like a glove (Dutch saying) and she kept it on all day. Because the girl has my genes, she pulled pieces out of a draw that should be a pullover as well. As a good mum I started sewing it together. Unfortunately for her I could not finish it. So there is a seam left for her to do ;-)
Mooie trui is het geworden, die zou ik ook wel kunnen waarderen.
Gefeliciteerd met de verjaardag van je dochter :)
