FINALLY FINISHED!!!

OK, Skeins Her Way: I'm finished!

I must say thank you for the motivation. I knew that I needed to finish Mr. Starfish, but he was so boring. And all that seaming? YUK! But once I really got started again, I knocked it right out.

Just in case anyone is wondering, Mr. Starfish is a baby gift. Two of my coworkers (married) are expecting their first baby, aka Lab Baby. Mommy and Daddy like to deep sea dive and their nursery decor is "Under the Sea." Perfect excuse to whip up some cute knitted goodies that I know no one else will give them!

At the beginning of this contest (basically - I had 2 more leg pieces done, but no seaming):





Now:



I hope Lab Baby likes him! Now to add some fishies to keep Mr. Starfish company...

OK, so I need motivation to finish some projects. SO?!

Well, nothing gets my attention like a good contest. Especially when Blue Sky Alpaca yarn is the prize! So, I am going to FINALLY finish the toy starfish I'm making for Lab Baby. By the end of this month. That right now looks pretty much like this, with one more leg:



I still have to make another 5.

Skeins Her Way is having the contest, and I'm goin' all in!

This post is for accountability! You are all witnesses! (Well Norma, you are. No one else reads this!)

I have made hats for 2 charity knitalongs this month, and that will just have to be enough. Because I have GOT to win me some Blue Sky Alpacas.....

Oh - I guess I'd better start knitting now. Bye :-)
