Those of you that know me, know I used to have very few WIP it drives me nuts to not have things finished. I have to admit that list of WIP has grown exponentially lately. So I am trying out a new little process with new knits. No new, big projects like sweaters, shawls ect until an old project comes off the needles. So here is the story of the first progression of Project Free the Needles....
I finished this, I have to admit I like the yoking look, less seaming I am all for it:
Particulars: Summer Set Rib Yoke Cardigan, in Summer Time Knits from Classic Elite
Yarn: Classic Silk, in Paris green, ~10 balls
Needles: Size 2 and 3's
March 04, 2007 - April 6, 2007
This was a quick easy knit.
Once this was complete I had more Classic Silk burning a whole in my knitting bag. I had a pattern in mind. But this is where Project Free the needles held me up temporarily. I had to choose something on the needles to free before I could start my new sweater. So I finished up Mystery Stole (it was the item with the least amount of work to be finished, this sucker is long, long. 
Specifics: Mystery Stole 2: Scheherazade Stole
Yarn: Handpainted lace weight, doubled
Needles: 4's (should have gone smaller)
Started July 2006, finished April 2007
With this done I could finally start the new sweater.
This is the Cabled Boatneck from Tahki Stacy, using Classic Silk again. Progress is a bit slow since Mother's day is near, and I am busy making 5 sets of washrags for the Mom's I know. Hopefully I won't have to take a sick day again this year to get them all done in time. And because I post so infrequently we will add pictures of such washrags here as well.
