FO Friday - Getting Closer!

I don't have an FO to show for this week but I'm working as hard and fast as I can on my never-ending afghan/throw.  I started it a couple of years ago and it NEEDS to get done!  I've been working hard on it for the past few weeks and I'm aiming to finish it before this winter is over.  I won't let myself start any new projects until it's done!

I've been trying to work on it every single day.  And, I've been going to as many knit gatherings as I can to get a few hours of uninterrupted knitting time at each gathering.  Here's a photo I snapped with my phone last night while a bunch of us were gathered at a local Starbucks.  Several of us were working on afghans.  I called us the "afghan crew".  I love the footstools they have at this Starbucks!  And, my afghan keeps me warm while I work!

I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!  I only have nine repeats left now (yay for single digits!) and seven rows!  Hooray!  The closer I get, the faster I knit!  I can't wait!

Redwood Throw

I'm knitting again!  Yay!  And, enjoying every stitch of it!  Life has been so busy for months that it's been a rare event that I've had much time to sit down and play with yarn.  I started knitting a throw way back in May but it's sat lonely in my knitting bag for months.  I've been knitting on it this past week and have completed several repeats of the pattern.  It's growing!  I hope I can keep up the momentum and finish it in time to use this winter.  It'll be a nice project to work on as the weather cools and the throw grows.  It'll keep me warm as I knit on it.  That is...if it ever cools down.
