In Need of Finishing

Have I mentioned that I have trouble finishing my projects? That is to say, I knit the whole piece(s) but will NEVER block, sew seams, and weave in the ends until I'm about 10 minutes away from giving it to the person who has bought it or is receiving it as a gift. But the ridiculous thing is that each unfinished project (there are, literally, at least 20 of them in my apartment) each hold a special point of tension in my neck and back or a lovely knot in my stomach. You'd think that would be motivation enough to finish the project, but, alas, my masochism prevails.

Next week is "reading week" at school (which means we don't have classes), and, among other things, I hope to throw myself a finishing party - in which I'll spend a whole day finishing all those lovely, lingering projects and hopefully knock out a few of the kinks in my neck and back through the process!

Meanwhile, there's new stuff in lots of fall colors going up on etsy...

Finally

After a very long delay, I've finally added a new item to my etsy shop. I have tons of mostly-finished projects lying around the house, but I can't seem to get motivated to weave in all the ends, sew the seams, and take the pictures. I absolutely LOVE the designing and knitting process, but I have such a hard time with the final details (symbolic of many things in my life, maybe?)

Hopefully, I'll start to post new stuff to my etsy shop several of times a week. We'll see how that goes. :)

This is the yummy hat that I posted today...
