Hey, I thought maybe it's about time I gave an update on the 2009 FO Finishing Project — where I somehow sort of decided I would finish all my UFO's before the end of the year. Progress has indeed been made, and I've got a couple more FO's to show for it!
FO Update
Dec 17
Yesterday at the LYS, I took part in a discussion about SABLE.
What, you never heard of SABLE? You might even be a member of SABLE!
SABLE stands for "Stash Acquired Beyond Life Expectancy". A person becomes a member of this group when she owns more yarn than she can reasonably expect to knit in her years remaining on this mortal coil.*
… for a knitter, that is. Especially the knitter who already has way too much yarn, and too many books, and all the gadgets she can feasibly use. (Not that I know anyone like that. And hey, it took me over 20 years of solid dedication to get there.)
The other day I got an email from an old college friend. This guy is pretty much on the cutting edge of technology, and I have an idea that he finds my career change from "engineer" to "knitting teacher" pretty much unfathomable, and probably a little unsettling.
Luna Tee finished!

OK, OK, I admit that in the last post on this subject, I didn't spell out every little detail about exactly how I was going to finish this bad boy off… but then there would be no suspense left for the big surprise ending.
A few posts back,
I mentioned that I seem to have developed not so much a New Year's Resolution, as an End-Of-Year Resolution: to finish up the last few remaining UFO's in my knitting pile. And so, I've been battling with this one.
