| seaming shoulders on BSJ July 2022 |
Nothing motivates more than a publicly declared goal. These two projects (Baby Surprise Jackets) we’re neglected in a bin for years, needing only minor effort to bring them to completion.
It took less than 15 minutes to seam the shoulders together on the brown sweater. That finished, I was able to pick up stitches at the neckline for the small collar. Knitting the collar and weaving in the ends was completed in short order.

| Baby Surprise Jackets - complete with buttons July 2022 |
The sweaters are finally finished and off the “To Finish” list. Obviously, I prefer knitting projects like the BSJ rather than completing the “finishing” tasks.
How adorable! I bought the DVD instructions to make one of those for the Grands and I never did. I never thought they were very cute until I saw yours. They really are sweet.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I don't know why I quit so close to the finish line on projects like this, too. Glad you finally accomplished the goal!
ReplyDeleteHip hip hooray for you!
ReplyDeleteThose little jackets are so cute! You're so right about publicly stated goals being a great motivator. For me, it does help to put them on my blog where I can see them.
ReplyDeleteThe turned out so cute!!! I love the subtle striping on the brown sweater.
ReplyDeleteThey look perfect! You know... I still haven't woven the ends in on my Hemlock. I've used it several times but the ends are still hanging loose! Lol
ReplyDeleteNice work! That's a fun pattern, isn't it? Did you add the collar? I don't remember that part, and it looks great. Some lucky babies!
ReplyDeleteI have never made this pattern although I've heard a lot about it. Making a public statement does change things doesn't it? Both sweaters are lovely and will be much loved by the recipients.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Finishing seems to be a drag for a lot of us! Your BSJs turned out so nice Nancy. I'd love to knit one of those some day.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!! Good finish! I am sure I could make a public list... BUT then I would have to finish something!!
