Hee hee - sure, why not? It's just that we used to get a really good
list of FO's at the end of each month.

I have two pairs of favourite socks that I knitted that need to be
mended, so maybe I'll do that tonight. ;)

Ha, I have three UFOs sitting at my left elbow as I write, and a
further three to my right. I've decided to frog one so I consider it
to be over, one is almost finished bar the last little sleeve so I
consider that almost a FO, the rest all have plenty of work left to go
(sigh). I'm just proud I haven't started anything new in the last 72
hours.

However, I have been sorting and storing my collection of vintage
patterns like a demon. The spare bed is now mostly uncovered and all
my knitting stuff (bar a little bit of wool) is in one room. I've got
sorted file boxes and folders and a filing draw of patterns by
publisher. I've set up a wee office for myself and it's such a cool
creative space I'm sure I'll be much more organised in future (stop
laughing).

Now I reackon I'm one bookcase away from having a proper storage place
for everything (provided I never buy another thing).

I said stop laughing.

How about the 6 new knitting and crochet books I read? :-)

I have seen this term used twice and I am still new to all the needlework
jargon, so please forgive me for asking...but what does "frog" mean?

Tell us which ones they are... I'm interested in knowing.

I just took a good knitting book out of the library, and then
found out it's out of print. It's called "Beyond Wool" by
Candace Eisner Strick. I liked it so much, I wanted to buy
it. I did find a used one on Amazon, and the shipping costs
are more than twice the cost of the book. The joys of living
outside the U.S.

Given that I'm so new here, I don't feel I'm quite entitled to do so, but
here goes:
Velvet evening bag with stump work embroidery (although the chain shoulder
strap still needs to be put on permanently - not sure yet how I'll do that),
Hand tailored blazer from Indian silk, needs button hole and a button and
then to have the tailor's tacks removed,
Cotton knitted T in lace pattern,
Pair of socks.
Currently spinning dog hair (Maremma) with Alpaca to make a Beanie for a
neighbour.

Shelagh, I find Amazon a bit pricey so tend to use other book suppliers. I
don't know if this link is of any use to you but have a look and see if it
is.

Frog means to rip out your knitting: Rip it Rip it sounds like what a
frog says.
