Finished Knits

I figured I needed a place to show off display all my finished knits. Looking at them en masse, though, I now realize how SMALL all my knitted items are, which is sad seeing as how it usually takes me a few MONTHS to finish them! (Reason #38 to try and stick to the one-project-at-a-time philosophy).

Not included here are all the knits I knit up without photographing…. The first “sock” I knitted (which was really just a long ribbed tube), the hats I made for my friend Amy when I was just learning to knit, and of course, all those scarves….

Thanks for looking!
