Look what I found

I tidied up in my knitting basket (aka the big messy place behind/between the piano and sofa). At the bottom I found my longest surviving WIP, one and a half Falling Leaves sock. Cast on in June 2006! As I took a proper look at it for the first time in months I wondered how I could have forgotten about it. Answer: it was not in my Ravelry projects. Seems like I have come to depend on that genious of a place very much.

I joined the Finish me! group on Ravelry a few days ago. I hope that is enough of a kick in the ass to make me finish stuff. I now have 11 alive and kicking wips to tackle, and I'm ready to tackle all of them!

As I added the Falling Leaves socks to my projects page I remembered I took some pictures when I had just started them. I did not find them in my Flickr, but I had luck in my photobucket when I finally remembered my login and password (been over a year since I logged in there).

Look at Maries tan and summery, chubby, sweet toddler hand:

Awwww...look at those hands. They're "doll" hands with the crease where the baby chub is on the wrist. So cute!
