wow, amazing. I never finished a garment. I knitted a ball in short-rows, some swatches in mosaic stitch, and 1 3/4 slipper socks. And most of the pieces of a lace angel. I have bits and pieces of several sweaters. Oh, I did finish a garter stitch sweater in double-strand chunky yarn, but it fits kind of weirdly and is too bulky to wear. I kept buying small project books, socks, hats, etc. I got enthusiastic about doing a small guage lace doily from a vintage pattern book, but just doing the tiny lace angel cramped my hands up terribly for weeks. I never could put it down after a couple rows, I'd go all day long.
I tried knitting machines, made pieces of garments, and never finished them. I gave one to goodwill, still have an LK150.
I love the book "Knitting without tears" and some of her others.
If only all the time I've spent watching TV had been spent knitting, what lovely things I'd have.
