Every year I’m overly ambitious with my list and/or ‘available knitting time’ and someone always gets an “IOU” for their knitted gift. Last year I gave myself the IOU (yes I knit myself a gift) and I finished my socks in November; 9 years ago (when he was 4) my son received a knitted crab “to be assembled”; In my family, it became a running gag to my brother IOUs every year until we stopped exchanging gifts; I still owe a friend a pair of socks from a few years ago when I thought I’d randomly gift a pair of socks to anyone who responded to my ‘who wants socks’ post on facebook…
But this one…my husband’s sweater…has sat since 2009. Note that I even started it in January to give myself time to complete it! I’ve had it sitting on my ‘landing table’ to work on between projects or as a break between projects. It would be nice to finally get it off my “work in progress” list (note it was in a time-out!!!)
