Challenge: Ring in the New Year with all projects completed; plus Stash Buster Update

Here is my challenge to you - no matter what your craft of choice is, ring in the New Year with all projects completed.

Imagine the feeling of freedom and clarity you will have when, on January 1st, you enter your craft/hobby room and can start that project that you have always wanted to do but you had to wait until all other projects were cleared out.

Why not finish up those projects from years past and hand them out this year over the holidays to those they were originally intended for, or perhaps for that new person in your life or donate them to a local shelter/charity.  However they are distributed, what a great feeling you will have!

So the first step in this process is actually to admit what you have on the go . . . so I guess since I have thrown the challenge out there, I must be the first to step up on the podium to confess.  I am doing much better than that year when I had 18 projects on the go, no really I am!?

1. Evenstar Shawl - just started last chart - 100 rows, then the border is left
2. Crescent Shawl - on lace trim section (Stash Buster #7)
3. Lace Cardigan style vest - actually up to the armholes
4. Infinity Scarf (Stash buster #6)
5. Gift Item for Christmas (can't ruin the surprise)


Okay, so that is just under 2 months to complete 5 items - should not be an issue at all! LOL

Alright everyone - somewhere, whether twitter, facebook or just a note on your fridge; publically post your unfinished project list.  Trust me, crossing items off will be the best feeling ever!

And now on to a Stash Busting update. (red "x"'s are the yarn used, photo's of completed projects appear below)  See you next month for the next Stash Busting update.

Now back to knitting like the wind!
