I thought this day would never come.

But when I look through all the knitting supplies I brought with us on this extended trip, I'm actually counting more FOs (Finished Objects, for those not up with the knitlingo) than UFOs (UnFinished Objects). I have now finished everthing I brought here in progress, plus completed two other small projects and started two more.


Here's the checklist:

kitanzi's jumper: Finished, but not posted to her yet.

folkmew's socks: Started here, and finished, but not posted to her yet.

oreouk's socks: Started here, and finished, but not posted to her yet.

(I think I need to go to the post office on Tuesday, hm?)

My albatross aran: Finished! (For those of you who read my personal journal, I'll tease you with the fact that I actually got to wear this jumper today! In Singapore! Let's just say that a certain wonderful person remembered I put "Three Inches Of Snow!" on my birthday wish-list. :>)

Crenellated Socks: Finished, and I wore those today, too! Inside fuzzy boots. :)

Nifty grey woven scarf: Started here, and finished, packed up and waiting for the trip home, where it'll be stored 'til autumn.

Short row Opal Rainbow socks: Started on Saturday.

filceolaire's Fair Isle: Started last week sometime.

Mermaid Socks: Started awhile ago; I haven't made the second one yet because the tiny garter stitch cuff is a pain to knit and I'm unhappy with the heel.


Saturday's meeting of the Singapore knitstitch group was fun, even though I got there a bit late (we'd been to a book sale; you know how it goes). I finished up the first of oreouk's socks and turned the heel on the second, then swatched and cast on for my new Opal socks, short-row socks made with bright rainbow colours.

Today, we were out and about quite a bit. I finished oreouk's socks before we left, so I got work done on the small sock project on the MRT and in line at the museum and all that.


Tantalising Photos Below!


These are oreouk's Very Purple Socks. I have no idea what they should be called, but I hope she gets to be good friends iwth them this autumn and winter. You can see them, way back when they were just a ball of yarn, in my knitting icon.


And here's my current project basket, showing the first bit of the new Opal socks, plus J's Fair Isle. That multicoloured ball of wool peeking out below is from Diana, who gave it to me along with a beautiful wooden lucet when she was visiting. I don't think you can see te lucet in the photo, but it's in the basket.


I've never felt so good about finishing things I start as I do right now. This whole 'focusing on a single craft' thing is really working for me! ;-)
